The BEST Civivi budget EDC knife for 2023… ALREADY!? This is even better than I thought it would be. 

I love this knife. I opted for the black G10 scales and was not disappointed. Hands-down my favorite EDC knife (at this point in time)!

I agree its absolutely phenomenal. Sokoke has not left my pocket since it came in.

Wife got me one for valentines (we celebrated this weekend due to work). I only have good things to say. It is in my pocket now. Really good value for all the features (contoured, nested liner, design). Never got the We Espirit because of budget, but always really liked the design and wanted one. This is a great budget alternative for me!

Just wanted to say been watching your channel for a while now really enjoying it keep them coming my friend

When I first saw this I was like blah. Its really growing on me.

The Civivi titanium clips fit. They look great!

I got one last Friday and I haven't been able to keep it out of my pocket. Absolutely love it. I highly recommend the linen micarta. Might even pick up the g10 one as well.

Another great looking laconico! Great video 👍

I really do like the Laconico designs, very simple but also elegant and functional.

Definitely interested in this one. Big Laconico fan also. Thanks for sharing Wayne!

I can’t wait to get this, I love Lacanico designs. I still wanna get the Esprit but this will hold me over for a few. You can hear the beautiful detent on that when it closes.

Really digging that back spacer. Very nice blade. I also agree about the clip but I guess for the price point I can't complain

Awesome video !!! I have 2. G10 and Natural Micarta!!! I love Laconico designs! Thank you for the great video!!!🔪🖤🗡

Going on my list. Good break down 👍👌

I just bought this, too. Love it

Gday!! I love the knife but I still think Civivi nailed it with the 1st Elementum!! All the best from Western Australia!!!!!!

Agree, very great knife.

Yes, yes, yes. Agreed. Now have 2. Even if I weren't a Laconico fanboy, it would still register as one of the best EDC's I've handled. The damascus version has an even thinner grind.

Oh shoot , the Brazen is so nice imo . Was it popular at one time I wasn’t around ? I like the inset liners and shape on this one .

So including the button locks, what's your top 3 Civivi's Wayne? :) Is this one in top 3?

I recently picked up the burlap micarta handle version and it does seem more like burlap g10 but I actually love it. It's a really nice handle material. So far, I love the knife. I'd say one my fav Civivi's. I'm not crazy about the front flipper. I think I'd like it even more with just the thumb studs. I like the knife so much that I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one and I'm going to add the titanium milled pocket clip to both of them. This truly is a great knife. Probably my fav Civivi with the Conspirator being a close 2nd.

Awesome design! Got my Damascus yesterday!

I am a big fan of Ray Laconico designs and own several. The Esprit is one of the best knives in my collection so a budget knife much like the Esprit is tempting. My knife budget is a bit limited this year but the Sokoke is on my short list.

TRM just came out with Burlap Micarda scales for their Atom and Neutron.. How do they compare to G10 or regular micarda. Are they slick or grippy?

Bet the titanium clip would work you might just have a small gap on either side but the curve and flat on the top and bottom are positioned the same I think

Bought one with the brown micarta on the secondary, hasn't arrived yet. Love Laconico designs and am hoping I can look past the bead blast finish. We and Civivi need to cut it out with that crap. Stonewash all day for users.

I also already had e feeling that this Knife with its Design, Materials, Price etc. will be a very hard to beat Model for 2023. I bet there will be an updated or even upgraded edition of it. the only thing i am truly missing on it is a steel insert for the Pocket-Clip. Otherwise love mine.

Have a brown one incoming. the first somewhat more premium knife after my coldsteel got stolen 20 years ago

The newest kizer clip works perfect in natural titanium

I like it!

does the civivi (after market clip) hold as good retention as the standard pocket clip?

Aligator micarta

Petrified grandma's couch scales🤣

I like the design but I'm not a fan of bead blast nor coated blades though : (

Wish they'd do a bar or button lock on this one

Can't wait until your 'Best knives of 2023' videos where this knife will not even make any list by then 😆 Joking aside, nice looking knife. All Laconico's knives (at least the 3 you showed) kinda look the same, though...🤔

Not a fan of front flippers. I like multiple deployment methods though. Good video

Great knife but that booger burlap🤮😷
