I've looked online, where can I find this knife?

[@clem8fan]

Maxace does amazing work and has some great designs in their catalog, always keep an eye out for their models and they are usually large too!

[@clem8fan]

@@RepEvox actually had to get a replacement pivot for my Babylon and had it in 2 weeks, just about on par with domestic companies I've dealt with in my experience.

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

@@RepEvox Spyderco has never gotten me parts quicker than Maxace has. Good try, though.

[@themarksmann]

Agreed - with that design capability and level of milling they could really make a nice sleek but detailed handle with less robotech. Great review!

[@fnargler]

I got into Maxace through the Balisong scene. They always put out a great product.

[@AshAntares]

Same here! they are probably my favorite higher end knife company.

[@landontreinen3062]

If Marfione did an OTF equally as complicated as that he’d put a mirror polish on the blade and charge 5K for it. That would be on the lower end too.

[@ClintCoon1976]

Maxace just dropped a Timascus/Damascus variation for $718. Tony Sr would charge $10k. 😂

[@patcallicrate7875]

I love that Maxace. It's just Star Warsy enough for me, not to mention the quality. I'm not necessarily a fan of the glass breakers but I understand why. I have beaten the crap out of my Boker Kwaiken OTF ( no glass breaker) and it's still goin strong, however the it is NOT in the same class as the Maxace.

[@JesseLJohnson]

Some of the Bokers are actually made by Hogue. Not the Kwaiken though but some of their OTFs and autos are Hogue produced here in the US

[@truetalon]

Medusa 2.0 is even better. Please do a review on the new model.

[@Kevlar509]

Wow...What a knife! A gent version would be sick....And about that value...??? Yes please!!!

[@_Nathan-]

It would be awesome with plain/brushed aluminum and titanium. Would definitely pick one up then.

[@scottyh.6992]

Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I still have to buy my first Guardian.

[@ClintCoon1976]

You sort of got what you asked for. They just dropped a Medusa with Timascus inlays and a Damascus blade. 😮😮

[@charliegone1652]

I hope they start selling these in the USA. I have a no limit nightstalker and it's not a bad knife, but this is definitely of better quality.

[@jeremyweisinger8655]

Pretty sure it's the same knife. Only difference is no limit branding on their version

[@Cid_1]

The Maxace Corvus-III with Zirconium inlay looks great. And I think it's only like $320

[@jessemijnders]

Those look amazing

[@louiskoestner4337]

I'd be interested in you adding the Axial Gear Shift OTF to these comparisons and hearing your opinions.

[@joebrennhofer307]

I bought the No Limit Knives Night Stalker from Tensor Tactical, no issues at all.

[@Cid_1]

Maxace got some cool designs and Chen seem like a cool dude. Considering picking up the Panzer, seems like a good deal for the price.

[@jessem18769]

Whoa how’s that button action vs a microtech? Smooth smooth cutlery

[@alwayson999]

PLEASE REVIEW THE V2!!!

[@louiskoestner4337]

I'd like to refer you to your comments on the Axial Shift in your review back in late April.

[@jakejacobson2999]

Have you done a review of the Protech whiskers? Off topic, I know.

[@mcm4point2o]

Lightning OTF's are pretty solid for $30.. they don't suck M.c. hurt mah feeln ya did

[@ryejack]

Absolutely agree, I'm over the "side of a spaceship" styling on a lot of knives that are intended more for self-defence. I mean, they have their place, but the market is over-saturated with that stuff. The Protech Godfather/Godson series are a great example of a more classy style of automatic knife. I'd like to see more of that from other brands.

[@bobkeenan857]

I’ll

[@JesseLJohnson]

I got the new Prometheus Design Werx OTF today. Don't think it was listed who made them or even where they were made but it was pretty cool. I have a thing for clip points and it was pretty reasonable think they were $289. I am not that crazy for OTFs think I have 5 haven't bought one in a while now. When I saw them teased the other day though I had to get this PDW

[@joshalmightyblades]

I've looked online, where can I find this knife?

[@wickedwonderingdream]

Agree A subtle look would be better

[@joshalmightyblades]

So the knife is Not Linked...

[@jacksputrid]

Can you suggest where to get one I don't wanna get ripped off

[@lukepaulson3428]

$238! 🤯 Thanks MC!

[@chunkycut3376]

LOL at No Limit Knives Night Stalker “assembled in the USA” bcs they put a glass breaker and pocket clip on it. Theirs is s90 and $250. Think I’m going to just get the guardian tactical recon 40.

[@bkinnd]

Wish I could get my hands on automatics but I live in a dumb state, the law says basically you can own them but can't buy or sell 🤔. I'll pick something up eventually when I'm out of state. Until then I will continue to drool over everything I can't get on KZbin LoL. Cool knife, thanks for sharing it

[@jeffp.6908]

Just have it shipped to you. I've never bought one in person. Its always over the web.

[@davehousen1737]

when will it be released?

[@knifeforlife4114]

I love mine, the clip is weird though it feels like plastic imo

[@69CamaroSS]

Is this one worth over twice what their Neptune costs?

[@TheDillyRay]

Lots of other manufacturers do similar things with selling a product to another company and rebranding it. Guess it ok in the k I’ve world as well.

[@samuelsmithee]

Is OTF the same thing as the term switchblade? Or is a switchblade something else?

[@metal_complex]

OTF refers to where the blade deploys from (out the front) - But an automatic OTF is a switchblade. So in this case, yes.

[@samuelsmithee]

Ah ok, cool thanks!

[@samuelsmithee]

Cool, thanks!

[@Hungrybird474]

Switchblades fly out the side with a Benjamin button and otf s shoot out the front and retract with the slide switch . Some otf s have a safety mechanism that prohibits opening into something . They come off track . Knockoffs are on Amazon for $40 . Prob not like these but they do in fact work like these 👍👍.

[@metal_complex]

No... an otf can absolutely be a switchblade. The term "switchblade" is not limited to side openers.

[@sageoz9886]

No love for the Axial OTF? I really like mine

[@metal_complex]

I've talked about it already. It's very good

[@JTG40cal]

Can't seem to find any in stock anywhere. Is the Night Stalker the same OTF then? Any word on differnt blade shapes/finishes?

[@RW2Knaf]

Is Cobratec a US Mfg.? No, they might put a bunch of parts together in Texas. I can almost guarantee that every individual component of those “US made” OTFs are made and machined in a different country. From the blade to the handle scales to the screws. Probably pre machined in China, shipped to Texas and then assembled.

[@metal_complex]

This is kind of common knowledge

[@RW2Knaf]

@@metal_complex I just learned about this. I wish some companies were more open about it. I like my kalashnikov, but I thought it was a US made OTF, with Cobratec being the OEM. Every time I said it was US made, I’d get funny looks or something. Now I feel like an idiot lol. False advertising, man.

[@metal_complex]

@@RW2Knaf ya they suck.

[@slo_carry]

Star Wars Day... "I'd like to see this less star warsy". Lol. Really cool knife though and if they made the same knife with less detail for even less it would be really cool.

[@TheBeardofDOOM]

I ordered myself one of the Night Stalkers (the No Limit version) from Tensor Tactical. It appears to be almost identical to this one with CF inlay instead of titanium. It is on sale, plus first time order discount, it was only $179 shipped. If you haven't checked one out, HMU on your patreon and i'll send it to ya when it arrives (Same name there as here).

[@Myles_per_hour_]

Your videos are awesome

[@DrippyBag]

I want to get an otf but I want one that not everyone already has/carries. Need some recommendations

[@metal_complex]

Thatd be this one.

[@JesseLJohnson]

I don't know if they have sold out yet or not but Prometheus Design Werx just dropped their first OTF today. I bought myself one. Not gonna see many out there sure there wasn't many available and they have never had an OTF before. I think some retailers might get some in too if PDW is out. This Maxace is something you won't see hardly any of since you probably have to buy it and have it shipped from China. Not gonna find any major retailers here in the US selling them

[@Bald_Head89]

This is a stupid question and it's been bugging me for a long while. What brand of tape measure do you use?

[@michaelfuxeklint4909]

It's a shame that most of them don't have a lanyard, it's criteria nr 1 for me. 👍👍

[@Mrwarriordude123]

I want to get this knife would you say it’s worth it? Plz answer lol anyone

[@NoConsent33]

Gonna break your heart to find out Microtech has moved manufacturing to CH"INA... LOL

[@scottwilliams8334]

I've got an Benchmade Infidel that looks like it was run over by a truck. Also, some type of Benchmade switchblade. At one time it had some type of black, or gray coating now most is rubbed off. The blade doesn't come out at the speed of light, but it does hit hard. I found them in the trunk of an unclaimed wrecked car. Which was smashed flat just a little later. Does anyone know of a reliable company that does that kind of work. Benchmade said that they were so far behind that I should remind them in a year.

[@JesseLJohnson]

Company that does what kind of work

[@joaoborges7838]

OMG isnt this for both hands? how about not rotating as you change hands... keep the action button up!

[@mrj3711]

Looking over maxace's websight they have some other really cool designs

[@joshuamostoller6164]

U obviously love your otf collection i don't blame you i also love it

[@jacobkmet1577]

Microtech all day ultra tech is my edc

[@lukehendrickson3669]

Same dude

[@September0930]

They named it the medusa, the only finish this knife deserves is stone wash

[@jestercat7723]

Who makes this knife for MaxAce? I thought automatic knives legally sold in the US had to be at least assembled in the US. Was I misinformed on this? If I am not wrong about it then you are in possession of and are making a video of an illegal knife. There are so many different rules on automatic knives it is hard to keep track.

[@jeffp.6908]

Never heard of anything of the sort. Theres some laws about shipping them which are pretty much ignored but thats it.

[@jeffp.6908]

Its too bad the "no limit" roll mark looks like trash. No desire to own a "no limit" anything. Maxace has established itself. Who knows who or what no limit is

[@Elmax17.5dps]

Vespa and Maxace build better knives than Microtech

[@metal_complex]

Ehhh... that's extremely debatable. I mean they build GOOD knives for less because they're made in China... but better? I disagree. And I've reviewed almost everything each brand has to offer.

[@Elmax17.5dps]

@@metal_complex I respect your opinion

[@LordHoth_90]

Chinese? Nope

[@metal_complex]

k thanks

[@MichaelDavis-ls4pr]

Grindworx has them
