Civivi Baklash vs SOG Ace

Perhaps I just received a bad example of what is seemingly a great knife otherwise, but sadly I think it'll see less time in my pocket from here on out.

The blade is sturdy and sharp. I tested it by hacking small bamboo branches off the main pole..

only I would recommend the G-10 handles for better grip than this particular Baklash model.

A fair price but a rather low quality product. The handle felt like cheap plastic and the sheath had a curious friction based release with poor attachment “clip” that offered an insecure fit.

But I have butter knives that are sharper than this blade!! I bought two, and both are equally dull and difficult to sharpen. That's a deal killer for me. I'm disappointed.

I never have been infatuated with SOG products; I always thought their knives were usually overpriced for what they were. The Ace fixes that issue right off the bat - at $15 it's about half the price of similar SOG knives I've seen. First impressions are good. It's a light blade for its size, and its design is a simple, no-nonsense one that I find very appealing

I would return it but I'm past my 30 day window. It seems to be a good knife but if it doesn't hold an edge it's useless

Sorry, I'm just being truthful. I give the design and durability only 2 stars due to the sheath.

Only materials could improve, but you would have to pay way more if it was made from a higher grade steel. Can't really beat it for the cost. Great balance, opens with ease, precision manufacturing. Looks and functions like a $100+ knife

knife and sheath is good quality, I like knife stone washed finish very much, sharp edge, sharp and strong point for its thikness, good jimping, good large handle, excelent size handle for me, i have medium size hands and for me it is best size, sheath clip is good, medium strongness+you can remove it if don't want, sheath holds knife very good but i would't carry it uppside down, BEWARE with wet hands or wet handle it slips very much, kraton handle would be better but with kraton it would be much more expensive, for the price it is very good knife.
