All Things Knives 

r/knives

r/EDC

 Why see right here. This is a knife that has a clip on here. It'S a deep carry clip but, more importantly, the clip sits into a recess in the frame and the screws are completely flush. If we compare that to oh, i just had something on my table that got this wrong

 There'S fancy milling on the titanium version, which looks good good, ergos, good blade shapes uh, a nice blade, generally speaking, ambidextrous lock style a great clip completely manual made in the usa and 190 bucks made in the usa price. That'S pretty damn good. On the great side. The action the action is good manual button locks are a joy um

 This is the protech knives sprint, which is an automatic knife which is much smaller um, but also very pretty so anyways there you go. That'S your size. Comparison next thing, you'll see here on the table that there are two versions of this guy. This one up here is the one cliff blade style, although it's not a conventional one, glyph like, for instance, this guy, the qsp penguin with the flat edge on the bottom they did

The Pro-Tech Malibu Pocketknife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

My New EDC

 I will say that the uh, the geometry on the edge meaning the way the edge is formed with that with that belly going all the way through and then to the reverse, tonto uh push cuts. This would actually do very, very well. You know your slicing it'll. Do very well, it does need to be thinner behind the edge i just knives are tools and they're meant to cut

 If you look it's, it's actually thinner. You see how that's, let's see we'll do one at a time. So you see how thick that one is here's the osborne, definitely a little thinner, but it also gets thick also gets thick. If i were protec, i would slim down the grind of this knife

 It'S definitely a little bit bigger blade wise handle wise in the delica. So let's put the delica back. Let'S check out that pm2, so a little shorter than the pm2, but blade wise, let's see, handle the handle and i mean cutting edge. It definitely outpaces the pm2 and cutting edge handles definitely going to be smaller than either of them just barely a little bit bigger than the delica

 These knives are both in 20 cv. Look how thick one is over the other. Just look at that insane. So, let's get into my thoughts on the knife, i will say very fidgety

ProTech Malibu Review: Is it just hype?

 Love it. Everyone should have one. This is my dedicated package opening knife that sits on my desk. 

Lightning OTF. Goddamn if this isn’t one of the best $30 I ever spent. It’s like 8 years old, been beat on, and still fires hard every time. This sits on top of my fridge as a dedicated Amazon package knife

 Anytime someone asks for a recommendation on their first “nice” knife, this is it. Cant beat the material and quality for the money anywhere IMO. 

Crkt m16 or something. I hate this knife. If the blade were any less centered it would be poking out the scale. Enough lockstick to almost require pliers to close

Current SOTC. And I think I’m done for a while

 What'S going on youtube metal complex here and today, i've got a really exciting, uh knife unboxing to share with you guys. This is something that dropped you recently. I think a lot of people are excited about. I'Ve been excited to see this come to life for quite a while, and i've actually been saying since the beginning, since the very first time i handled you know the first version of this knife, i said this is a

 Can you see that there's a little smooth area so that when you, you know when this thing comes in and out of your pocket you're, not quite fighting that texture, because the texture wall not aggressive, definitely definitely adds grip to an otherwise kind of type 3 hard Coat anodizing on aluminum is chalky, but it's also a bit slippery without some texturing. I kind of want this on all like every knife that i own. That is this. You know this aluminum, which is great

 Just is right, it sucks, i agree, but it just is like we can yell at the sky. Ah, but it you know it just stays now. On top, it seems like we're paying a little bit more. On top of that, just for the texture pattern, i don't know what it cost them to do, what it cost them to do this this this texture pattern, i have no idea, seems a bit high

 That'S all you can do uh, please make sure to follow me on instagram at metal underscore complex if you enjoyed this video leave a like if you'd like to check out my other content, i do of course have lots of videos. Knives are either expensive or inexpensive. That i do or don't like so check those out if you enjoy all my content, go ahead and click on the metal, complex logo right there and subscribe, because there's definitely more coming thanks again for watching everybody and have a great day. 

Unboxing the New TEXTURED ProTech Malibu Button Lock Folding Knife!

2. The blue isn’t really my color, though it doesn’t look bad, just not my thing. That being said, I think I prefer the look of the reverse tanto blade over the wharncliffe. Also, it’s a bit out of my budget, but the anodized titanium version with the light blue, I think, is just beautiful

 That being said, I think I prefer the look of the reverse tanto blade over the wharncliffe. Also, it’s a bit out of my budget, but the anodized titanium version with the light blue, I think, is just beautiful. 

I was going to post a link to North River Outdoors over on r/KnifeDeals, but the Malibu sold out so fast I didn't have time.

I'd been hoping to get a blue one for months, &amp; I had one in my cart. But when I went to check out, they had sold out in the meantime so I was unable to check out with it.

I went ahead &amp; ordered a black reverse tanto, which I've owned before (as well as a black wharnie). It also sold out seconds after completing my order.  

After I received it, I'm hoping someone will be willing to trade their blue Malibu for my black one (plus some cash to make it worthwhile, maybe?). Not sure how likely that would be, but I figure I gotta try! 😃

Anyway, although there are already other discussions here on r/KnifeClub about the Malibu, I wanted to begin another one considering it's bee almost impossible to find since its release, which is the better part of the year now.

Has anyone been able to get ahold of the elusive Protech Malibu in 2020?  

How about the even more elusive blue one, either wharncliffe or reverse tanto?  

How does everyone feel about the hype surrounding this knife, both from people who've handled one &amp; those who haven't?

I love the knife. I feel it mostly lives up to the hype. Everything about it smacks of quality, from the smooth, fidgety action of the flipper &amp; button lock, to the awesome 20CV steel, to the solid lockup &amp; nonexistent blade play. The main criticism I've heard about it is that it looks a bit plain, which I think is fair. But you could also look at it as streamlined &amp; sleek. But I'm curious to know how everyone else sees it.

Thanks for your input! 😃

It's nearly 2021 &amp; the Protech Malibu still sells out almost instantly. How's everyone feel about it?

NKD, finally

Protech Malibu, 20cv blade black aluminum handles button lock. In the pocket every day since I got it.

Urban survival gear bronze pen. Pilot ink refill, great weight and a fun fidgety bolt action.

Work carry.

We all know it’s true

I've never spent more than 60 bucks on a knife in my 38+ years twirling around the sun on this little ball of dirt.   


I've been waffling back and forth between these two as they're in the same price range and the M4 Bailout comes with aluminum scales instead of plastic. I'm not a hard user, they'll see the occasional amazon box and 95% of their time will be used as my new letter opener and fidget clacker. This will be a man toy for me.   


My normal daily driver right now is a 10 year old CRKT M16 and my beater is the cheapo chinese lockback that came with my last NRA membership. I don't live in a humid area so rust isn't a worry for me. I do have experience sharpening tool steel (half dozen years working in a machine shop and hand grinding lathe bits and touching up endmills and drill bits by hand).
