Beat the Icon

A perfect blend of price, features, and quality, the CIVIVI Elementum is an icon by which all other budget EDC pocket knives are judged, but is it still the best? https://kcoti.com/3YxjY8O In the few years since its introduction, the line has expanded to more blade shapes, larger and smaller form factors, as well as fixed blades.
