I've been collecting knives for most of my life and have been serious about knife collecting for at least the past 15-20 years. I've had all sorts of knives in the price range from $20 all the way up $3k and this knife just hits right in that sweet spot of quality, usability and price. It is a fairly expensive knife to be sure but the value is 100% there. The build quality, fit and finish, blade steel, aesthetics, packaging and any other measure of a knife is spot on. The action is so addicting to fidget with that it makes it very difficult to put down. I really can't overstate how good the action is on it. The factory edge is laser sharp too and effortlessly cuts through anything I've thrown at it. One thing I love about it is that even though its a very expensive knife, it isnt one that I feel the need to keep locked away at home. I have carried it every day since it arrived and I don't have any plans of taking it out of the edc rotation any time soon. I didn't want to wait the 8 weeks for a custom one to be built so I just ordered one off of a different site to get it in hand and check it out and I like it so much that I'm now going to place an order for a custom one. I like it so much that I might not even sell my current one when the custom gets here lol. I just like it that much. If you're on the fence with this knife you really should just treat yourself and get one. If you like the overall aesthetics of the knife and it fits your needs the rest of it will not disappoint. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago. I also have a serif and it's an amazing balisong
My third Mojave. Dlipper and fuller all in one, what can be better. The level of precision on these are at another level plus the palette of colors and textures available. Mu inly grip is the clip may rattle after using it all day.
As a collector of high-end, mid-tech knives, I can confidently say this piece is close to perfection. The action is smooth as silk, allowing the blade to deploy effortlessly, while the drop enables it to close with incredible ease. Beyond its flawless engineering, the design is a visual masterpiece. It draws attention instantly, drawing compliments, oohs, and aahs whenever I show it to anyone. Martin and his talented team deserve a lot of praise for their meticulous craftsmanship. They have truly surpassed utilitarian toolmaking to create an incredible, investment-grade piece of functional art.
Wow, just wow! What a lovely knife. It’s light and well made. Machining is flawless and finish actually was visually better in person! One comment is the anodizing for this pattern was not well represented in the online pictures. Looked very monochromatic but really has much more character and actual color variation from orange/red to purple to blue. Worked for me but not well represented.
