I ordered one of the first production Mavericks when they first dropped. It has a bunch of issues, blade was rubbing on the frame, terrible blade play, pivot lash, milling defects, etc. Looks like they have worked out the kinks since then. Glad to see that. Love Tactile Knife Co and their business. Thanks for sharing JB.
@@BigRedEDC so glad yo hear that JB. I really enjoy Tactile and their products. They quickly allowed a return and handled it with great customer service. The Rockwall is one of my favorites still. Great company and designs.
@@BigRedEDCthe G-10 versions were of the first batch after the knife was reworked by Tactile. They enlarged the pivot, shrunk the pivot hole in the blade and liners. They also enlarged the crossbar. So they essentially tightened up the tolerances to get rid of play. They also added a third lock spring hole. That’s the easiest way to see if you have a newer one. Two spring holes is older stock and likely to have issues. 3 holes is the newer revision.
I've handled a few different Tactile knives & the quality is definitely there. Same with their pens. This is a nice addition to the red knife collection for sure.
Nice sleek looking knife that g10 has a cool color I thought it was micarta that pivot is cool looking also I like when a knife has a pivot that ate just round I'm starting to come around to cross bar locks I just got a kubey cross bar lock and I'm getting used to it a Bonus with the maverick it matches your pm2 I love matching my knives great video man 👍
Very cool! Glad you got the red one. I checked out the butterscotch one recently and it's pretty cool for sure. Very slender. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Awesome pic JB, I really like all the cool pens and knives tactile makes. I really like the red G10 and the green G10 versions and I’d eventually really like a maverick and the rockwall and bexar and I’d like one of there pens.
Hi bro. I did consider this one 'cause it is a beauty, but I see a problem with the clip screws and lanyard space which would require a ring around the post, so I switched my love to the Bexar 😍 (an acquired taste after winning the Lake Champlain) and I hope to get it next month 🤞🏻
Magnacut steel may deserve more than G10 on the handle, but the "red" lured you to this I am sure and it does have some Ti in the hardware. Of course add some bling to the handle and you are moving past the $279 on this. Looks like a worker as well as a dressy knife in the pocket and the hand. Thanks for your in hand experience JB
Oh man, Big Red, that is awesome! Crap its only the 7th of the month and I am already close to exhausting my monthly knife budget. I think I am just going to have one of these and in that color way, really sweet. And American made, got to have this one.
Sweet looking little blade. I had the Rockwall but my huge hands didn't work well with it. This looks like it may work better. Only problem is that damn Rmor Knives Babayaga. Thing just refuses to take a day off from impressing the hell out of me. Lol. Actually I have been carrying the MBK Old Guard that Minette got me the last couple days. It's not Babayaga but it is a damn nice blade
Nice clean design and made in the USA. The pocket clip could have been designed better. Looks like an afterthought. I’m assuming the pivot rides on washers which I like. I like lanyards on knives but in reality they just get in the way. As far as the price it’s a bit high. Knocking on 300 is a bit much but I understand manufacturing costs.
This one is a neat looking one for sure! Hope your well Mr.JB? Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts and review with us! Have a blessed week! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs #BEUP #DSKFS #neverquitquitting #22ADay 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Lanyards are for the weirdos, anyway. Not sure I like the look of the way the clip is attached, but it’s a really clean looking knife (sorry, not the biggest fan of this shade of red). Thanks for the video JB.
Great looking knife. Like the classic and simple design.
I do as well Bill! Love simple lines!

The red one was the only one I looked at...lol!
The Maverick has been on my wish list for some time now. Thanks for reminding me, JB!!
My pleasure! Thanks Granne

Right on Jason!
I had the red titanium version and was shocked how weak the "detent" is on the knife. Returned it.
Right on. Thanks for watching!
Nice, glad you talked yourself into getting this one.
You and me both..lol
Nice great looking knife! I like that one!!
Thanks Mike! Have a good day!
Nice one!
Light as a feather.
Good stuff as always, JB👊🏻
Great weight for the size!
That red muhcarta looks great
Good looking Knife I'm digging the Red. Thanks for sharing JB Hope you're having a great week.
You know I'm digging it!
Classic design, nice knife. Thanks for the video. 😊
Love the lines
Great looking knife, love how they did the milling, shape looks comfortable. Thanks for sharing BigRed, be safe.
Thanks so much Jim!
Good looking knife and review JB, thanks for sharing, God bless brother !
Thank you very much Michael
Wow beautiful! Nice clean lines!
Yes indeed!
Great looking knife
Thanks Kevin! Have a great day!
I have a Tactile pen and probably a knife after Blade Show Texas in February.
Right on my friend!!
Great find! Thank you for sharing it JB!
Thank you David!
Definitely a great looking knife. An improved Feldspar IMHO
Lol...thanks for taking a look Rusty
That's a great looking piece!! Cheers, buddy!
Thank you kindly!!
A splurge is good now and then, feels good! Nice get!
Yes it does!
I’ve enjoyed my Maverick!! Don’t carry often, but it’s nicely made and quick to launch. Thanks for the great video! 😎♿️
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Really dig the g10 scales I’d love micarta more but looks pretty cool!
Thanks for watching Nick!
Tactile got things figured out just in time. For my money, I'd have a hard time deciding between this and the new ZT. Superb EDCs all around!
Lots of choices for sure!!
It’s a great knife. I enjoy the one i have and seems like they worked on improving, mine has no issue!
That's great to hear Jr
Great video JB!!
Thanks as always Randy

yup, that Maverick definitely has ur name written all over it.....BR form , function & aesthetic...glad you like it
It was waiting for me!!!
It was fate fo sure💯 @@BigRedEDC
Love this. It's quite elegant with nice details. Too bad it isn't blue.
Lol....I didn't see a blue version
Very nice pickup
Thank you Mike!
I like that it doesnt have a bunch of pocket clip holes drilled in it like benchmade does.
Thanks for watching!
That looks really good! 🤘
Thanks DrDrew!
Yeah that's that's nice. None of those in my collection. What were the competing 'splurge' choices?
Nothing really competed! Just wanted to make sure it was the one!

RIght on TD! Hope you can grab one when you can!
I put some trm o-rings on the thumb studs , not bad🙁😁
Oh nice!
@@BigRedEDC i got myself a maverick @ blade west, and my wife got a qsp from you😁🗡️
@@billyberry6200 now that's awesome!!!
I really like this knife it's a shame that it has no reversible pocket clip thanks for sharing
Thanks again Grim!
@@BigRedEDC Always welcome my brother

Thanks as always Zeb!
Good looking knife
Thanks so much Tim!
Thanks, JB, for the share of the Maverick #madeinusa
Thanks for checking it out Byron!
Seems like a light weight for the size. Overall I like it. Thanks for sharing!
Great weight for it's size!
Looks sharp ❤

@@BigRedEDC ordered the exact same version today. Can’t wait. Thx!

Little known fact. Maverick is JBs favorite USN fighter pilot!
😂😂😂😂
Very nice

That is very cool
Thanks so much!
This is a "you had me at the thumbnail" knife. Until I saw the price. But this one's clearly worth the money.
Thanks Grom
What's with the mushrooms growing ,no jimping ,no lefty $280 that's your grail
Dont know what the mushrooms are, not all knives have or need jimping, I'm a righty and no one said anything about a grail.
Lanyards are for the weirdos, anyway. Not sure I like the look of the way the clip is attached, but it’s a really clean looking knife (sorry, not the biggest fan of this shade of red). Thanks for the video JB.
LOL...thanks so much ElCap!
Seems legit
It is!
Thin
Very nice!
I like the name, i like the knife, i like the steel, but man, i dont like the look of that pocket klip.
Right on Dane!
Very nice
Thanks again Xander!
