Just a heads up I bought the no limit knives marked version of this knife I do not know if the manufacturing is better but eventually mine developed a strange issue where I would have to pull down the switch twice for it to close and it would misfire on the close as well no amount of cleaning lubing disassembly or reassembly fixed it
I currently own the No Limit "Night Stalker" with the D/E S90V blade otf knife. It's basically the same thing as this Maxace Medusa aside from the pocket clip, glass breaker, and other small milling details. Mine is absolutely fantastic.... As long as you don't use oil based lubricants and stick with either dry 3 in 1 or straight up WD-40 it shouldn't have any issues. I also took mine apart and gave the springs a coat of lithium grease & also put those little wiring sleeves over them to prevent any of the "ting" noises. No limit obviously copied this design but for $175 I couldn't resist. 3.85in blade and has extremely little blade play....like barely any it's for sure impressive!
Yes it is titanium. I said something about this otf on one of the live a couple of weeks ago. Have been really excited to see one reviewed. Thanks Metal.
Did you ever find out if this maxace Medusa OTF is titanium? because the ones I see online are aluminum handles. I was wondering if they do make a titanium handle Medusa.
@@metal_complex OK, I may have to pick one up. They are only $238 which seems pretty reasonable compared to the price of some of the other OTF's out there. I just have to find someone who has it in stock. Thanks MC, I appreciate the lightning fast answer to my question. Love, love,love the channel. 100k getting close there buddy.
Do we know why OTFs are usually aluminum and not titanium? Most nice folders use titanium, yet nice OTFs use aluminum. I've never been clear why. And why are glassbreakers so popular on OTFs? Seems like an unusual style to put them on for some reason, with the blade aimed back at you when you're banging on that window.
I am a huge maxace enjoyer but have only really been on their balisong side of the market (banshee v2, covenant, etc.) but am very interested to see where this idea goes!
@@ryansmock2717 like lock stick or just bad lock up. I've heard they are hit or miss especially the early designs. I only heard about him because the balis he designed blew up in that community.
@@Evan-sb7lj Bad Lock up. The geometry is slightly off so you have to open it with a lot of force. Slow rolling it out will engage the lock bar, but any pressure will disengage the lock.
I have a banshee, obsidian, and kestrel. All solid knives. Kestrel has lock up issues due to how it was engineered but I still love it. They’re a great brand with great CS
It does look like it got some inspiration from the no limit night stalker, but the differences I see is the blade shape and size is different, handle shape towards the rear is very different and this one has a much better glass breaker. Button is very different not even close to the NL. The No limit otf was ridiculous point and down right dangerous you'd be poking yourself often if you carried and used that knife often. I'm definitely picking this one up soon.
I tried looking up the knife after yesterday's Livestream. Only found one link, and it was a Chinese site. I'll wait for another website I'm used to like BHQ or others. Looks like a decent budget otf for the materials used.
Check out the No Limit "Night Stalker". It's basically the same exact design aside from pocket clip and glass breaker. It comes with S90V steel and has the same blade shape or a dagger double edge. Plus they go for $175 -$250 depending on where u get them at. I own one and it's absolutely fantastic!
was really looking forward to this after seeing it on the live stream. I have yet to decide how I feel about otf knives, but it looks very good. would have loved to see m4 on the blade but thats personal preference. great video like always!
I just checked out your sticker selection, all I can say is wow! I am not really a sticker person but after looking at the color patterns I got to pick some up. If you viewer haven’t seen them check them out seriously! I thought they would be plain but they are not amazing work, even more amazing price!
Proceeds to kill Maxace's pride by calling the folder "generic". Well I agree 100%. I am however a fan of their Killer Whale 2.0. That's a good looking knife. Even if it reminds me of a Hinderer Eklipse rip-off.
Yeah buddy love that OTF I have a lightning and believe it or not it does not have any rattle or wobble for now it’s brand new love to channel keep up the great work always looking forward to the next video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Meh. Why no OTFs for give away. They are legal in many states? Simply ask the winner for ID and ship it to an address in a state where it is legal. I mean....you do you.
What. The. Hell. is that frickin knuckle duster nub, vestigial limb atrocity? Shame! For shame! I didn't realize we were supporting cross eyed special needs knife makers this month. 😂🤦🙇🗑️🔥

So is it titanium or what??
Nice knife, but why the hell have an ugly glass breaker?
@@EmeraldHill-vo1cs it seems like a lot of otf's have that big type of glass breaker.

Cant find the otf medusa anywhere... any links?
Not really an otf guy but I like that one, would like to see where they go with it. A lot that could be done with some interesting titanium overlays.
Very pleasant blade to handle ratio. I love the detailed milling. Imop one of the nicer looking otf.
That OTF is wonderful looking. It's so good to see an OTF that's NOT dagger shaped. LOL : )
Yes it is titanium. I said something about this otf on one of the live a couple of weeks ago. Have been really excited to see one reviewed. Thanks Metal.
What happened to the scalpel?
HOW DARE YOU BETRAY US LIKE THAT!
What's your source to purchase this knife?
Is the blade centered to the frame?
Might have to try both of these from Maxace.
Where can I get that unboxing knife!
I’ll tell ya where to put the glass breaker! 🤣
What do I do about all the tac knifes otf email offers I’m getting?
where to buy this otf?
I love the point on the Medusa. It's a true tanto point.
I just purchased my first Maxace last week. I got the Sandstorm K for $116 on Amazon I am very impressed.
can you do an overview on the new unboxing knife? It looks very well thought out.
Where can I buy one?
I dont see any details in the description
7075 alum handle and that's alot stronger than 6061, heavier too though. With m390 and diminimus blade play at < $250 this a steal!

Could you please do a review on the Jake Hoback Knives Goliath Fixed Blade Knife Jade G-10 (3.1" SW)
Love the color of it! Like a greenish tint

Finally an OTF with some style 👌
BRING BACK THE SCALPEL
Boi that box cutter is cursed
From what I’ve heard, maxace is trying to directly compete with WE. And they seem to do a pretty decent job.
I really like the OTF but most of maxaces designs are too busy for me. It reminds me of WE's old stuff.
I have a Maxace Kestrel, and I love the action, but it actually has lockup issues.

Mega Cool Switchblade Otf Knife
I kept wondering if there were any ti otfs, wow
handle material is aviation aluminum, ti clip
Inlays on the scales are actually titanium
I’m interested. I the the Japanese tanto look.
I was snooping around for that last night. The Maxace Medusa First impression is very good! 👍
Looks just like the no limit OTF knife.
The No Limit Nightstalker has a few similar characteristics, but still very different
I was waiting for my “laugh out loud moment” from MC for the day and you never disappoint!!
••Shaped like the capital
letter B••
🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I believe everyone uses aluminum because of the problems that steel sliding against titanium presents... ie: galling, sticking etc...
The OTF reminds me of an automatic pistol barrel.
That's the first thing I saw had to been inspiration for the design

Thanks for sharing MC
Had the chance to buy this when it came out, passed it over to wait for the Benchmade shootout. Drastically different design philosophy though.
Did you lose your scalpel?😲
i’ll be honest mc: i liked the laminate flooring more than the cf background.
It’s 7075 aluminum
I want the sharp spoon!!!😂
Two very nice looking knives. I really like the OTF but feel it’s going to be very $$$$!
Great job on the reviews and like your channel.
Maxace uses 7075 aluminum on the Medusa, same quality aluminum used on the Hawk Deadlock! Microtech uses the less expensive 6061, Go Figure!
I don’t think anyone will be using either of the aforementioned knives hard enough for the tensile strength of the aluminum to matter.
Man, love how that otf looks
The lines just look reminiscent of the cypher right?
I really enjoy your videos but have to admit that I'm beginning to get very jealous of all the swag you get. Love that Medusa
Microtech has the all time glass breaker placement patent. You didn’t know that? They are the only ones who can use it.
Yeahhhhhh but who’s gonna stop you 🤣
Just found the Medusa for like 50 from China direct
Nice looking OTF but I'm a side opening guy. Love the look though.
Scalpel are best in general.
Both knifes are going on want list.. wish carbon fiber was mette Finnish
was really looking forward to this after seeing it on the live stream. I have yet to decide how I feel about otf knives, but it looks very good. would have loved to see m4 on the blade but thats personal preference. great video like always!
But the glass breaker...😛
Yes sir. Been waiting for this video since I asked about it yesterday
I would love to know how many people are ready to type a complaint but when you mention it they delete it out of shame 😂
The new unpackaging blade is AN ABOMINATION
Good luck trying to get service from that brand. I had no luck
WHERE DID THE SCALPEL GO
Thing looks like a knife master chief would carry
Waiting patiently for the Medusa to be available on a reliable knife site and not aliexpress…
Yeah it’s different. Not crazy on the looks.
Nice otf, but honestly, couldn't care any less.
That frame lock though...
I think that fuller is a blood groove...? Lol
That carbon fiber looks so dang cheap. Looks just like the scales that came on my r2d2
The maxace is the same as the no limits knives nightstalker. So who’s the og
You can give it to me, I live in the Great State of Arizona, you know, to put your conscious at rest, just trying to be the good guy and all.
My higher end Chinese OTFs all have far better lockup than my ultratech and recon-035
I want this!

Sadly, incredibly illegal here 🤷🏻♂️
They're also illegal where i am but that doesn't stop me from getting them
@@shroomboy432 bravo 👏🏻
Reminds me of a glock slide.
gaston glock
👍 Came here for this. …or with the diagonal serrations, more like a CZ P09, lol
Where else are they gonna put the glass breaker? Umm.... how about no where. That's where it is on 95%+ of my knives. NO. WHERE.

They clearly copied Microtech here, I mean just look at where the blade comes out! come one!
Cool but not $6500 cool.
This knife costs $230. No idea where you got $6500
There's a Chinese knife that looks identical to that one. Be careful.
HOW DARE THEY COPY THE GLASS BREAKER. those no good garbage can kicking hooligans. EVIL DOES EXIST. 😂😂
🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Typical Chinese website - lists their prices as 500$ and not $500.
It's $238
