Although the beautifully contoured carbon fiber scales feel great in the hand (just like the Spyderco Para 3 after which it is modeled) the quality control on the knife I received left a little to be desired.
Civivi Baklash Cut Test – Way Tougher Than Expected!
Civivi Baklash Cut Test – Way Tougher Than Expected!
Well, color me impressed—the Civivi Baklash put in some serious work! I ran it through cardboard, sisal rope, reinforced rubber tubing, and even a wooden stick, and this thing just kept on cuttin’ like it was born for it. For a 9Cr18MoV steel blade, I wasn’t expectin’ it to hold up this well, but it sure proved me wrong.
Big thanks to John Emerson (aka “TheTriFyre”) for loanin’ this knife to the channel. The Baklash has been kickin’ around for a few years now, but it’s still sellin’ like crazy. Maybe it’s the solid ergos, maybe it’s that slicey hollow grind, or maybe it’s just a dang good knife for the money. Either way, I gave it an 8 outta 10 on my sharpness scale, and I’d recommend it to anybody lookin’ for a tough, budget-friendly cutter.
So, is the Baklash still a solid buy in 2025? Grab a seat and find out for yourself.

I’m glad I decided to wait and pick up the 3.5” version of this knife that looks like the McNees PM MAC2 instead of the 3” version. The 3.5” version fits perfectly in the hand and basically delivers a full size cutting blade in a very EDC friendly size.
