As a machinist and someone who runs a machine shop. I just want to clarify something that you have stated several times about more expensive machines for Titanium. I'm not trying to be a dink about it but to educate. The CNC machines that would mill/contour the titanium scales can be the same machine that does aluminum or G10 scales. The additional cost associated with titanium is the raw stock cost, tooling, and time. To machine those exact scales in Aluminum it would be much faster using cheaper cutting bits that would last much longer. In titanium, much longer cycle time and much more expensive cutting bits that will have to be changed out more often.
Anyway, I have this knife, and I love it like a bastard stepchild. It's really cool and executed very nice but there is something about it that is quite different and weird. I think it adds to its charm.
Thanks for the info.!
Please keep educating MC and the community. Thanks.
I've had my buckhorn since Blade show, & it brings me joy every time I pick it up. Hold it up to a light & see straight thru the centered design holes! It melts into my hand & locks in. Great blade to handle ratio, weight to Blade length, & blade shape. Terrific slicer. More than milling of a contoured handle... this one is contoured & sculpted like no other production knife I've ever seen. Awesome Value. Thank you Ken Onion.
Bought one when it first released and like the look and ergos, good slicer also, just wished the lock bar was easier to access, Thanks MC😎
That cube texture pattern is so cool. And yeah s30v and s35vn are still some of my most preferred steels
I love the look of this knife, but the tip is a deal breaker. It's kind of bizarre. The knife looks amazing till it's opened. If that snout came down to a point, I might own one.
I like the tip personally (no homo)
The tip is the “ look” of the knife. It’s usually the case of someone with influence telling somebody else what to like and then a massive amount of people are committing on what it was they were told not to like about it. Comment after comment is about how crappy the tip is.
So many good things going on with that knife until you get to the tip of the blade.
Agree 100%!
So glad I am not the only one that didn't buy it just because of that.
I'm not trying to dog the design too much, but even a small nitpick these days can lead me to not buying one knife while accepting a nitpick on another knife. We're all weird. Glad people agree on this one.
This was one of the rare knives that had a unique blade profile and I love it. It's unique without looking like it's trying like so many with absurd recurves and compound grinds.
@@MattDunlapCO I can agree with that.
Love the handle, Hate the blade shape. Ken Still the OG! ❤
Hahaha hiding in bushes and taking notes hahahaha. Trippin! 😂😂😂
I luv mine.....and so did my knife bros. They are thinking about getting it now. Thanks for the vid!
the length of the blade is surprisingly long and the knife is contoured in all the right places. Beautiful knife
This really does look like a fantastic piece. When it first came out, I was a little disappointed that they went with S35VN. Over the past few months, I think that has become my all-time favorite steel. It’s not much harder to sharpen and strop back than something like 154CM, but it holds its edge a little longer, and it’s also pretty damn corrosion resistant while being tough enough for me. I think the balance is absolutely perfect. I don’t have enough experience with Magnacut at its optimal HRC, so maybe I would like that better. I just got a custom. EDC fix the blade in it at 63-64 HRC, so maybe I’ll change my mind after using it for a a few weeks and putting my own edge on it. But for now, S35VN is my favorite
This is the next knife on my list. Has been for a bit now lol. It's gorgeous
Nice machining one would expect from Rike.
If I was gonna drop some money it would be for this knife. Its so cool looking
Bought this as soon as it dropped on Ketuo. Had some loyalty bucks too so I got it for less. Even at $275 I thought it was great value.
Sent mine back. Customer service was excellent on the return.
Problem for me, couldn't activate the liner lock, MUCH too tight
I really dig this one. Cheers!
The handle shape definitely has a slimmed down Zt 0301 shape to me I think that’s what makes me think Ken Onion when I see it
I think the knife looks good (especially the handle). I wish the tip was brought down a bit and added some more material on the front of the blade. Will not be many sharpenings before all of that tip material is gone and you hit that swedge. That's something that should be addressed imho if he makes a V1.1
I love the looks of this knife! Do you do collaborations on cheaper versions if not budget knife’s? I know this is not your collaboration. I think the price point on the should’ve been closer to $175-$200.
I don’t know Complex. I like the knife but for me for what the pivot represents it doesn’t go with the vibe of the aesthetics of the rest of the knife. Does that make sense?? Thx

When I see S35VN or S45VN, it just feels like a missed opportunity to use Vanax, which is the best balanced steel all around outside of MagnaCut, and just strictly dominates either of those formulations on every metric of performance.
I love vanax, but isn't it far more expensive to use than s35vn and s45vn
Why would the steel matter? Would you actually use this knife in situations where the quality of steel matters?
Mines got all this but I don’t actually use it? Just wondering.
@WillLiam32 I just checked one supplier and the cost for blade stock by steel volume is about 20% higher for Vanax than S45VN.
@richfranks9161 This is a flashy but still very utilitarian design. If all you want is a collectible then you really just want any of the most corrosion resistant steels, which would be Vanax, LC200N, and MagnaCut.
The tip looks exactly what a cheapo knife i abused as a screwdriver looked like after the deed.
why haven’t you been to blade show? hope you make it there soon MC!
People complaining about the tip. Just the tip, hey whatcha running away for, just the tip, I promise. Stop gawking at the tip mannnn!!!
My issue is the S35. I just don’t care for that steel. I would much prefer S30. S35 does not do well with anything over 1000 grit. I like steels that do well with whatever grit finishes that I want to do which can vary from job to job.
I hate the m390 overuse, just give me s90v for stainless, or let me have k390/10v/15v
Damm that a beast love it and ken is the goat
Cool cool
Metal Complex has never been to blade show?! 🙉
And it should be called Buck shot not Buck horn . Love mine !
Had to sell mine but I love this knife and will buy again. MC sell me yours :)
Very similar to his designs with early ZT and Kershaw models
I keep getting the names mixed up with the Civivi Incindie
One side looks like an unfired cartridge,the other looks like a fired round because of the screw hole .
To think that spyderco charges the same price for the shaman is ludicrous. Time to start pressuring usa knife makers to lower their prices
Why, oh why, did they have to nerf the pointy tip? Gah. It's like safety shears and I can't unsee it. So nice (S35VN is A-OK), otherwise...ehhh...Might still for $275.
Is it just me or does that handle design look very similar to that new Civi design that just came out?
Not claiming either design is copying from one another… just pointing out that they remind me of one another…
Gotta be sure to make that distinction so I don’t get hopped on like I’m being initiated into a street gang. 😑
Their website still makes no mention of being made in China.
I looked through the site before watching this video to find where it was made, couldn't find it anywhere.
Looks like the handle or a new we knife mixed with an ugly version of the zt777 blade shape
At work taking a break to check out the vid😂👍🏾
Ketuo needs to get their act together with the misleading advertising. First they claim their Damascus is Damasteel when it is not, and then they suggest a Chinese-made knife is made in the USA? Not cool. Their knives, however, are cool.
Ketuo was just claiming what was printed on the blade and probably provided by Rike. On mine, I scribed “-ish” to make it more accurate.
The blade show awards are a joke. The most innovative American made knife award went to the magnacut PM2 and the import knife of the year went to a basic looking lionsteel integral offered in Ti or Aluminum. And winterbladeco did submit some knives...
Isn't winterblade made in china?
@@Silence-and-Violence yes, I was referring to the import knife of the year award going to a boring Italian knife.
@jonathanwatson268 I personally love LionSteel and think they are doing just about the best machining and innovation to price to human dignity in labor ratio I can think of.
China beats them if you don't care about human suffering or labor quality or things like that. But what LionSteel can do from Italy is extremely impressive when you compare it to what the Chinese companies want for an integral handled knife made in China instead of one of the best designing countries in the world like Italy.
These Chinese OEMs are regularly asking for more money on an integral titanium than Lionsteel and they have objectively WAY WORSE heat treats. LionSteel will get you a titanium integral with a proper 61+ HRC heat treat on a true super steel for under $350. Plus the QC will have Chinese QC for breakfast.
And I'm usually a big supporter of the good Chinese OEMs, and I usually have to defend Chinese workmanship to racist Americans but today I'm rooting for LionSteel lol.
Who do you think should have got best import this year?
I'm sick of Chinese brands now wanting more money than what even Benchmade used to charge us when the first worthwhile Chinese OEMs came out 10-15 years ago.
When I first saw the handle design of the knife I thought this is will be awesome, until when the blade comes out...reminds of the time when Kylo Ren took his mask off for the first time. The blade shape ruins it for me.
Thanks
Ken onion does no wrong!.. except for the leek..lol
Check out my video of the new remette full dlc.integral/ comes apart like the rike tissot but wayyyy nicer
