[@edcbl4de]

Thanks MC. I ended up getting one of these after you announced it. It's the first knife that my wife actually likes the sound of me opening it multiple times. Plus, I always wanted a mirror finish, and it's as close as I will get without spending a ridiculous amount of money.

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Kiser has really been knockin' it outta the park, lately. Everything about this knife just works so well. Beautiful. Black mirror blade, with the subdued shine black titanium scales. And the fat carbon accentuates, rather than upstages, the 2 different black finishes.

[@mikereese15]

Hell yeah to the DLC. My padre DLC confirmed I need more of it.

[@hificat101]

Oh, you're gonna like that even more than you think you're gonna like it. Wait till you hear it open for the first time. WOW!

[@SharperApex]

I have never been a fan of coated blades because of the reasons you stated: lack of durability, the chalky texture, the added friction, etc. But this style of DLC is exception-worthy. I look forward to new offerings that should be coming out. Thanks for sharing this information!

[@phopeth]

I would absolutely love the Huntsman in this combo 👍

[@GrieverVIIIx25x]

After missing the first "pre-order" discount drop. I was determined to not miss the next drop, so i set my alarms for the next drop and managed to snag two! One for me and one for a friend's birthday gift. It shipped and I'm just waiting for it to come in now

[@GrieverVIIIx25x]

Also. MC got all the way to 13:50 before accidentally calling it the cormorant. Just like he thought he would. Ha ha.

[@TerminalM193]

I set an alarm as well..... Was sold out in litteraly seconds. Really silly stuff....

[@davidbernard9011]

This was my second Kizer knife.. I'm very impressed with this and my MoMo.. I usually stick with a larger knife, but saw this and took a shot. It's amazing! The action is spot on and it just feels nice in my hands. I would definitely pick one up if you can.

[@Oneoneone111One]

White mountain knives has a limited exclusive momo with the same dlc & carbon handle scales right now. Sounds perfect for you

[@clintcrosby6337]

That looks amazing. Thanks MC

[@frank_MT]

Just ordered in S35VN but I'm undecided I also like the Varatas TI and the Beyond TI

[@TerminalM193]

How the hell did you order? They've been sold out since release.

[@frank_MT]

@@TerminalM193 The base silver version on e-bay

[@TerminalM193]

@@frank_MT Oh, I have the original militaw too. Got it on sale for 120 bucks.

[@ChadWalker228]

I was able to snag one from Amazon. I really like it. It’s hard to go wrong with a Kizer but this one Is special!

[@Southernknife_addict]

Mine will be here Saturday. With the white mountain knives discount code. You can’t beat it

[@krazy_roach1698]

Back in stock on Kizers website!!! Just ordered one.

[@CombatBanana]

I was amazed at how much more durable PVD is than Ceracote so if DLC is more durable than PVD it must be near indestructible.

[@r6201sk]

Well in testing it showed it is as good as it can get. More durable that what Spyderco is putting on their knives. Stazza tested it few weeks ago ago

[@MrRideslowrx]

I have one of the older cold steel od green American lawmans with the xhp dlc blade. I carried and used that knife for about 4 years and there's almost no wear on the blade. They were way ahead of their time with that coating because it seems only now that companies are starting to catch on to it.

[@jpartlow01]

DLC is used in the gun industry quite a bit. Have several bolts that are polished DLC coated. A knife with this coating would be super nice.

[@TheWatcher60401]

Just grabbed this! (I only wish it had left hand clip options.)

[@cityslacker6221]

would look cool with black micarta inlay

[@les3782]

That would be ideal

[@sodathief]

i took my first civivi black blade elementum, poked a soda can, and it was all scratched up

[@adamcarlson2432]

That coating was probably PVD or paint. DLC SHOULD hold up better. I had a civivi vision fg with a black coating that got scratched up from cutting a cardboard box so I feel your pain.

[@drbilly5133]

Just preordered on Knife Center! Can’t wait!

[@kaothegreat4345]

Super good price. I love the different deployment options. If it had a tanto blade and a thin to large handle profile I would be all over it.

[@nickGEdc]

I want one so bad just don’t got it right now. So beautiful.

[@jeffscalfano3100]

Lets get a torture test on that DLC. I always avoid coated blades because they look like crap after a month.

[@Scwulf]

Still waiting for mine to ship, I’m afraid Amazon lost it. Hoping it’s not just me

[@bionick4281]

I’m gonna buy the base version of the Militaw as this overall design has been on my radar since Kizer released it! I love this version andthe price, but I’m not gonna bend over backwards trying to get this specific one knowing the number that are released will be lower!

[@Mggibboni]

Mine should be here tomorrow from WMK!

[@tatanleanduck]

I own so many Kizers and the best action belongs to the Kizer Clutch. Carlos Elstner design. Don't believe me, fine. This thing is phenomenal. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on one, do it. I know it's a bit boring looking and didnt make any waves, but I greatly prefer it to my Militaw or Veritas.

[@sixate]

I just got this knife yesterday, it is a fantastic knife. Super fidgety, looks great, feels great, and has amazing action.i might pick up the plain version too. This one is so beautiful I want to be careful with it. 😂

[@dan_taninecz_geopol]

The look isn't for me, but very excited for our polished DLC era.

[@BazonBlades]

Yo MC.....Did you grab one of the WMK exclusive Momos in this finish/color. My example will be in Tue. I hope to get an unboxing/initial impressions video up the day it comes in. The last I looked they were still in stock.....

[@jonthomas8487]

If WE made this they’d want $350 for it

[@Jimbobjimberoo]

I’m not capable of making this, sorry.

[@Youniquedesign1892]

What coating is on the kizer fiest? Seems tough as hell. I'm thinking not paint.busted into 4 or 5 coconuts with it testing that 3v

[@lostfound8112]

Wow 219 is pretty awesome. Shiny dlc is likely my next purchase. Maybe in framelock

[@hificat101]

I'm working on 2 builds for frag zirconium scales I recently picked up. One Manix 2, and one Para 3. I'd probably pay 100 bucks/blade to get two Cruwear blades DLC coated like that. I'm pretty sure Sergio wouldn't do it for me.

[@Kikomolina87]

I'm not a fan of the black blades but isn't just beautiful thank you for the info differently picking this one up

[@BruceRandall-h6u]

Militaw in stock right now at Artisan

[@kathleensmith370]

love the handle

[@bradiefrederick7315]

I've seen this one knife that look like it had black Damascus on it but I'm not sure if I should have bought it😅

[@metal_complex]

A lot of damascus looks black due to the etch. It's pretty common. Most likely not a coating

[@tommyl8452]

Imma try to get one when everybody has one. Keep hyping it up we about to see 50 of this on secondary markets. Who needs a kizer membership

[@dannyirvin5990]

If they come out with a sheepdog with polished dlc i will have to have it

[@d_sharon_design]

Seems like Kizer is turning up a notch.

[@d_sharon_design]

I hope they drop the other shiny black coating all together.

[@JedHead3409]

Anybody know if anyone makes custom inlays for the Militaw? I missed the drop on this one, but I managed to snag the original Militaw instead. I tend to prefer the dark titanium look of the original, but the plain Micarta inlay is a little lackluster for me. I think it would look absolutely fantastic with a weave CF or Fat Carbon inlay, or anything besides plain Micarta. I did a google search ultie times with no luck. I still LOVE the aesthetics of it just the way it is, but a custom inlay would take it to the next level!

[@mateuszmorgiel6452]

Militaw vs Bench Narrows?. I know its difirent league but... How much close this stuff are?. don't mind price only tech and feeling.(?).

[@AlexT795]

Not grumbled I missed this one, the purple CF is a big no for me. Can't wait to see what other knives they bring out in polished dlc though! Great vid as always MC

[@ronhendy5228]

I want one! But nobody has it in stock!

[@Patrick2345454]

I don't care that much about a black dlc blade, but Kizer does some really good carbon fiber.

[@eddyfeddystacks]

What model number is this one?

[@myklbllngsly]

Polished DLC has been out in watches for so long. Weird it’s just coming to knives.

[@jiffy87]

I was waiting as soon as these dropped and believe me when I say, they were sold out in 20 seconds.

[@vibe808]

Secured one at wmk yesterday 😂

[@TheWatcher60401]

I've taken dlc off during the carving of a spear for my son.

[@WALSTIB107]

I'm absolutely in love with the look and feel of the original Militaw. But they've screwed me and every other left-handed person by not offering a lefty version or reversible clip! Hey Kizer...don't you want my $$$?!

[@TheGerardo136]

I’m sure this knife is coming back. Kizer always produces the knives that sell out. Plus I’m sure they’re wanting to give some batches to retailers as well. Just be patient yall.

[@mj1653]

And if you have a KZbin channel you might actually be able to get one😒

[@TheGerardo136]

@@mj1653 you wouldn’t even have gotten this polished dlc if it weren’t for KZbinrs like MC and others, asking for them. You should be more thankful and less salty.

[@ILLMARILLON]

Bro what would that look like stonewashed on top of that?

[@metal_complex]

My DLC custom stitch is exactly that

[@deathbyninjadust]

In stock notification went to spam 😭 Sold Out at House of Knives

[@MemeScreen]

Bro you need to at minimum slap the leather if you’re not going to toss it on the table. I need that instant impact when one of your videos starts or I don’t get that hit of dopamine.

[@GftsandPrvlgBrand]

😮

[@trapvandal]

If you don't like shiny black coatings.... You can kindly leave

[@JoshuaCairns]

My experience with Kizer hasn't been great. I just bought last year's sheepdog and was sent a 2nd quality knife. It was covered in greasy fingerprints, with a very squeaky and gritty action, inconsistent grind lines, and an over-tumbled and rusted blade. It looked like an old beater with new scales and came in an old beat-up knife box. They've been slow-rolling any action taken. At this point, I want my money back and to walk away because they don't seem to care unless you're an influencer. If you're gonna buy a Kizer don't buy direct.

[@les3782]

Love the knife design and dlc coating, but the fat carbon I can't stand unfortunately

[@Barney_Greenway]

Polished DLC -- "I put that on everything!" 😂

[@AlmightyAnt300]

Not a fan of black blades. I like the look of the raw steel. I want the original version

[@Barney_Greenway]

Plz plz, Mystic Rex45 w/ polished DLC 🥹

[@CheekyMenace]

I was so disappointed back when I first saw this was a front flipper.

[@metal_complex]

It has an opening hole. The front flipper can be completely ignored

[@CheekyMenace]

@@metal_complex Yeah, I know. I just would have preferred a regular flipper I would actually use if there was gonna be one. But I understand it may have changed the aesthetics in a way they didn't want.

[@mj1653]

And if you have a KZbin channel you might actually be able to get one 🙄

[@metal_complex]

Lots of people got them. But yes. Sometimes they send samples to people like me. That's the very reason this video (and the original) exists for you to watch. Hope it helps you prepare for the next opportunity

[@romanshvydkoy8589]

Dude, all these reviews are useless unless you tell us HRC of these particular "masterpieces" or comment on company's heat treatment practices. The reality is Kizer is CRAP. My Kizer in M390 is softer than US made Buck in 420HC! You get what you pay for -- don't you remember this saying?

[@krazy_roach1698]

Thanks
