I have this exact same knife. Coming from benchmades, spydercos, cold steels, etc. I am really impressed with the quality and manufacturing of this knife. Mine has zero blade play, works perfectly and came very sharp. In fact it looks like they put a micro bevel on it before leaving the factory. Not hard to do, but it is an extra step that results in an extra keen edge. Will purchase a Civivi or We again.
I just got the button elementum Monday, 2 days ago, along with the CJRB Feldspar button. being small and in my '70s, my hands aren't as strong as they used to be. I found this channel looking for info on how I might modify the resistance of the Civivi button - The CJRB is easier to push and more fun to fidget with, at least for me.
after seeing how the liner IS the spring for the elementum, I may just end up doing THUMB calisthenics! 😂
You could try bending the liner back to relieve pressure. But don't ruin your knife
I have a ZT 0470, and just bought this button lock, I gotta say, the button lock is so much more fun to use.
I love these button lock elementums
I got mine and immediately sent it off to unlocked composites so he could reverse engineer the scales so stoked to get it back with carbon fiber!
You may have just answered my question.. these scales can be replaced? Or it’s a purely custom thing?
I have the same knife. Love it. Love the button lock. Love the steel & micarta & handle size & recessed lanyard post, etc., etc., etc. Thanks for the typically excellent presentation here. Kudos.
That's cool you comparing it too the pm2. I started off carrying the pm2 and realized ot was a bit too heavy for me to be having in my pocket everyday so i got the elementum in the carbon fiber and damascus and i must say it is worth it.
Thought I had lost a spring that went around the the button. Turns out the lock bar thing has to interact with the button the right way for it to work. Make sure the tip of the lockbar sits on the inside of the lip at the end of the button.
Simple but awesome 👍👍👍
wow! i wanna know who invented that spring action deal, for the damn button lock. simple but genius! i was watching a video on disassembling the sachse..lol soon as he lifted the scale off the button side of the lock, both the button and spring launched out of handle! man, it was crazy!! unfortunately as much as i like my brand new sachse i already scheduled a return like 5 min ago! a good point to take from all of this, its not JUST how the knife looks and feels and operates, its also whats going on behind the scenes. that spring action built into the frame puts the elementum miles ahead of the sachse! hands down! shit i hope there are other button locks that dont use an actual spring for the button, has to be!! a man, saw this video, subscribed and then commented! thanks to this video i have a brand new understanding of whats cool and of whats amazing!! thank you....
Thank you for this video LTK, and for the tear-down!
It's a top two knife for 2021, for me. In this price range. I love this thing! Even more so than I thought I would, and I had high expectations.
: - )
I even emailed Joe about it, and told him thank you. I am so glad they went the no thumb-studs route.
The other top two knife for 2021, for me so far. Is the new Kizer Slicer. That thing is very nice as well.
Nice looking knife.
Very cool definitely like it
Got one in Damascus with the shredded carbon fibre scales. Love it!
The cheaper one is better steel
Well not too much more they could have a really cool automatic.
Good point. I have a feeling we will see that happen at some point.
There’s someone developing one to be distributed through Flytanium.
But then it would be, like all automatics, awkward to close with one hand.
@@mal15102 Exactly! Love this knife. Have one in dark green micatra and just ordered the damascus. Lock open…lock closed. Ideal!
So this is actually a gravity knife. I like mine. I hope we see more like it from other brands.
I bought a button lock yesterday. It should arrive next week.
I think the dark green micarta looks grey too. I can see a bit of green but it’s mostly grey,
People can, also push the bottom and open it by hand. Haven't seen anyone point that out.
I need that!!!!
I WISH i could even afford one of those. 😩
I'm still waiting for the praxis in D2. Civivi D2 is awesome
Yup, to keep the price down, the plainer models will suffice. But you really have to behold that fancy CF model with Damascus... 👍🔥🗡️
Mine is the "green" micarta and so is my original neither are really green
Better call Saul reviewing knives
Design is on point! This and Petrified Fish 818 - so refreshing after those overachievers from other companies. Now S30vn plz!
Oh wow. Nice call. I like how the 818 also has that almost bead blasted stonewash as well. Very classy knife for the money. Thanks for the rec.
Nice knife 👍
If I was going to try an Elementum it would be that one. I would however before carrying it want to see if it is classified a gravity knife and the legality of it being in my pocket off my property.
Spyderco compression lock but like with a button...kinda cool.
Safe/easy to use, smooth, soft, big - what else do u need?
I hope its bigger than the Banter... 🤠👍
Great little edc for a fair price. Really like the new button lock. Just a bit heavy on the blah/boring factor for me. ✌
Thanks for the review and disassembly. I just got mine, used. Had a rattle in the lanyard pin, so I took it apart to see what's up there... Two screws in the back tore through micarta, so it held only by clip screws... Also the design decision to make a stop for the pivot screw in micarta is highly questionable. The knife is not meant to be taken apart...
Now for the life of me I cannot put it back together (and I put together Benchmades, no problem) - that damn button gets jammed all the time, won't go in the small hole on the liner side. Is there a secret how to do it right? Thanks!
I agree that having the bump under the pivot screw in micarta to hold it from spinning is not a great idea. I don’t know what to tell you on reassembly. Just the opposite of disassembly.
@@LuvThemKnives thanks. It's a valuable knowledge that there is no special instructions for reassembly. Will try again!
Does acid washed steel corrode faster than satin?
Good question. I keep thinking that might be true because it opens up the grain of the steel. I believe that I was told that stonewashed will corrode quicker than satin.
Awesome knife... Any other knives out there button lock with this action on a budget? I like it...

They're automatic, but you can remove the spring. However, the quality of this Elementum is great for the price.
There’s that Kizer Swayback too, haven’t handled one personally but I know people like them. And it’s a flipper with thumb studs so the button lock doesn’t lock it shut when closed like this one.
Is the blade the same? Would love to buy this and replace the blade with my elemental s35v blade.
Any idea when the second production will ship out? No one has these in stock.
I heard it would be July
You will see them again in late June to early July.
Does Civivi put loctite on the pivot screw from the factory?
Would of got one if in stock 🤔
What is the lubricant you are using? Never saw saw it before. Thank you
It's KPL (Knife Pivot Lube)... It's easily one of the best performing knife lubricants currently on the market. If the name didn't give it away, it's made specifically for knife pivots.
You're 10% discount at WMK is 1st purchase only?
The discount can be used as many times as you wish.
@@LuvThemKnives Great thx..Have a nice weekend..
Nope, I don't see any green anywhere on that knife. It's like a medium grey.
As far as the law is concerned that's a gravity knife in California so a felony to posses
It’s always be amazing to me to think that what I’m doing legally in one state will have me thrown in prison in a neighboring state. Not really the “United “ states are they ? Lol
Still going to order one!I just got a Chavez TAK it’s a nice one or at least I think so but ya it’s crazy here in California
What isn't a felony to own in california?
Less is LESS!
And that lock stuff is for the birds.
Enough.
🤣
I don’t like that the liners are black on all of them
Not sure why all the youtubers push Civivi I just returned the civivi elementum button lock. Its sharp as hell but the build quality is flimsy. The micarta scales were so thin if you tightened the 2 rear screws too much it would warp the scale off of the liner. Take a very close look at the button lock where it contacts the rear tang of the blade. The plunger is milled down less than a 1/16 inch this will fail before a liner lock would. Civivi knives are all show and no go. If you want a nice Chinese knife at a cheap price Petrified Fish is a better deal. Civivi - WE knives are over priced.
It drives me crazy it has no opening method, should of atheist gave it studs!
An alternate means of opening wouldn't work; without the button pushed, it's locked closed.
@@mal15102 The Elementum II now is a button lock/flipper. So i think that is kind of untrue now.
Meh
