This video is like a love letter to American production, the knife community, and knife enthusiasm. I wish I found your channel earlier but I’m watching the shit out of it now. Your production really shows your enthusiasm; our enthusiasm, and that’s hard for me to explain to people. So I’m just going to share this when I need to do exactly that. Keep it up man.
I come back and rewatch this video when I get burnt out, and it reminds me why I started the channel. To share our weird and hard to understand obsession with knives. Cheers brother, stay sharp 🥂
Well done! Just paid $216 for the same Wharncliffe at Grommet's Knife & Carry, last blue in stock. At the time of this post, they still had in stock two of the same in black.
I've had my eye on the Malibu for almost a year with no retail luck and there's no way I'm paying someone $350-400 on ebay. Happened to do my daily look on BladeHQ and they were selling the leftovers I guess from bladeshow 2021 I could not believe my eyes an acidwash wharny with mother of pearl inlay button. I just about shit my pants same reaction at 4:00 trying to login and get through checkout literally sold out 5-10 minutes later. This is going to be a long 2-3 days of waiting. First video I've seen on this channel very impressed! Great camera angles and commentary.
Dude, your videos rock. I found one or two over the last few weeks but didn't stop & check out the channel 'till last night and ended up binging almost your entire library during my shift. You're bringing some very serious quality to these videos, and I have no doubt that if you keep treating them like you're producing for an audience of 100k, you'll get there pretty freakin' quick. Keep it up man.
Ordered mine today went on their web site called 15 dealers found on in California. 230$ one blue still in stock Kelley’s cutlery no website just a Facebook
Hello. A truly cinematographic review full of passion and joy at the aquisition of a knife so awaited that it led the reviewer to near desperation and madness at the inability to obtain the desired blade. Nice. All the best.
Sir your reviews are anything BUT long-winded. I enjoy your enthusiasm and the way you capture what it is really like for us knife lovers out there to get our hands on the blades we lust after far too often lol. You truly have a unique voice and vision on UA-cam and I wish nothing but the best for you, my fellow knife nut. Keep up the great work, Cheers 🍻
I just happen to randomly look on Blade HQ yesterday and .... LO AND BEHOLD!! They had black and blue stonewashed reverse tanto Malibu’s in stock. After looking for six months, it was very nice to finally able to buy one without at least a $100 price gouge added on eBay.
You can tell you were really relishing the paper test😊 I would usually go with a reverse tanto for function but really like the wharnie style on this platform.
I always get the giggles when you do the stabbing motion. I got the Benchmade Osborne 940-1 a few weeks back and must have got a Friday 5:59 pm knife. Grind marks with a very uneven blade. It was so poorly finished. A big disappointment... I hope Protech renews my faith!
Hey man, I believe I commented once already, but bro you are one of my favorite and I mean, FAAAVORIIIITE!!!!, knife review channels. And I watch Meta Complex, Neeves Knives, Nick Shabazz, Birdshot, Lefty, etc. and I’m not really a commenter. I just watch and subscribe if I like. Thank you for making videos. I just started my knife journey like 3-4 months ago, I want to start doing reviews, I am desperately trying to develop my collection. It’s pretty decent I think so far, I have four Two Suns, (waiting on my fifth to arrive from e-bay), I have the WE Upshot, Spyderco Manix2 in M390 and Brown G-10, blocked out Benchmade Bug Out, an s35vn and green micarta Civivi Pin Tail, the Pro-Tech Godson all blacked out, a shitty SOG Flash II, a terrible Gerber Flatiron, the Spyderco Sliver Ax, and two Pro-Tech Malibus, one reverse tanto and two a wharny. I started to write this comment because you mentioned that during the filming of this video you said that there was only two color combos, well I had three Malibu’s but gave one to a friend as a departing gift. That one was the original color way. I have the reverse tanto in black on black because it was a BladeShow West exclusive, it’s number 87 of 100, and the other in a Forrest green handle and black wharny. Anyways I realize this is a long comment but I wanted to inform you of the other color options just in case you didn’t know yet and to again say thank you for your videos. I look forward to your videos and hope maybe I can acquire some advice on my knife journey and maybe some help with that as well and also advice on becoming a reviewer. Thanks again.- MetalHead23 or Nick.
Hey man. This is awesome. So glad to hear you're liking the channel. And back when I wrote this review, there were only 2 options. They added the new color combos long after I uploaded this one. Cheers man. And that's a did collection so far. All great stuff.
Damn it man. Quit being so freakin' wishy washy and tell us what you really think of the Malibu😂🤣🤣🤣 I kept missing out on getting a Malibu apparently just because I'm old and slow. Don't play well with this interweb stuff. Finally, a couple or so months ago, I lucked out and found a LNIB reverse tanto, black aluminum scaled Malibu on an LTK knife sale and scarfed it up before anyone else could. Probably set some sort of old guy record in response time getting back to LTK to tell him I WANTED THE MALIBU!!! I am now a happy camper...well, I will be as soon as I can score a Demko AD 20.5...and maybe an MBK-EZC 1.5...and......
What a good review man. I just got mine today after searching high and low. Your review style is excellent. good voice, A+ I hope your channel cherishes! A follow from me!
OOF This is Tough... If you want a good Flipper, The Malibu... But the Smock definitely has the edge as far as fidgety options, and overall fidgetibility... Protech is clicky and satisfying, and the Smock is just loads of fun.
These are harder to acquire then the pena x series knives. It's been like a year since I've been trying to buy a Malibu but every chance I get its sold out 💀
I mean.. credit where credit is due, possibly the best review of the Malibu on UA-cam. Scrap that, it "IS" the best Malibu review bar none. Hats off and hands together.. truly your best video yet mate 😎🍻

best knife reviews on UA-cam!
🙏 Bless you Geoff
Your essay summarizes exactly what happens to me everytime one of these new knives come out. Great story telling.
Well done! Just paid $216 for the same Wharncliffe at Grommet's Knife & Carry, last blue in stock. At the time of this post, they still had in stock two of the same in black.
Had one, loved it, sold it. Now my second (keeper) is on it's way in the mail
I watch a lot of reviews and buy way too many knives. Your shots and angles are a breath of fresh air. 👍
Cheers. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you like everything so far.
I will never forget that moment!!!!
I still think this is one of my best too 🤙🤙 cheers man.
Happy to see secondary has settled in at $190-$210, recently. Shit was ridiculous for a while.

Love the creativity yet truth in your videos! Glad Protech shared your tag. So good!

Best Malibu video ever !!! Good job!!

Great video; just... great. Made me appreciate my own example of the black 'otnat' version just that much more (which, it turned out, was possible).
I just picked up one at SMKW in store I got the sheep's foot blue
Its absolutely amazingly smooth I can say
I have a black RT, titanium in 20CV, & have a blue RT coming tomorrow. And I've owned & sold 6 others.
So I feel you, my man! 😃

Awesome cinematic production! Great review.
Proud owner of a Malibu .. love it .. great video!
"Who tf!!? ... Ok no time to waste you can do this only 2 left!" I died🤣🤣🤣
The best knife video I’ve ever seen…!!

They need to seroiusly up their game for the price
oh, the nostalgia for the days before the AD20 is thick.
Best channel on UA-cam 🙌🏻
Still, till this day still haven't been able to snatch one. Was able to get an XM18 3.5 before I could get this.
Good review ,mine is in the mail,cant wait

Hahaha. Breaking thumb speed records.
God your reviews are fun to watch. Thanks again.
owww i like this button knife for sure
Mother of all things holy! This was an epic review on a knife I hope one day to have. Epic videos good sir truly epic 🍻🍻🥃
Great video again
What a good review man. I just got mine today after searching high and low. Your review style is excellent. good voice, A+ I hope your channel cherishes! A follow from me!
Based on fidget factor alone... Malibu or Smock?
OOF This is Tough... If you want a good Flipper, The Malibu... But the Smock definitely has the edge as far as fidgety options, and overall fidgetibility... Protech is clicky and satisfying, and the Smock is just loads of fun.
This was super well done. Very entertaining too! I found ya on IG and noticed you had a channel. 👍 sub’d
Glad you found my channel. Thanks homey 🤜🤛
These are harder to acquire then the pena x series knives. It's been like a year since I've been trying to buy a Malibu but every chance I get its sold out 💀
Hey buddy are you in central Ohio? I live just east of Columbus! 😃
Cincinnati Area for this guy.
$175?! Try $260, or that's what I paid for my purple texturized reverse tanto Malibu.
I bought this within a week of the first batch being released... A different time my friend.
@@TristateEDC very much so, now the price for a Malibu is all over the board.
First.
I mean.. credit where credit is due, possibly the best review of the Malibu on UA-cam. Scrap that, it "IS" the best Malibu review bar none.
Hats off and hands together.. truly your best video yet mate 😎🍻
