Ferrum Forge/Protech/Drop Mordax 2.0 “Hype Vs Reality”
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ธ.ค. 2019
- This is a comprehensive review of the Ferrum Forge/Protech/Drop Mordax 2.0, with aluminum scales and 20cv steel. This will entail size specs and comparisons, as well as have footage of me using the knife.
I think it's worth every fucking penny..Knife is unreal smooth..
It's one of the best looking knives I've seen and with the price drop, I just might get one. It deserves a regrind for sure...
Man, with that price drop, it’s a really good deal.
Where would I get a re grind?
Moto Missile there are a lot of different companies that do regrinds. Razors edge knives is one that comes to mind. There also a lot of smaller knife makers that will do it too. You want to make sure they do it properly too though, and use some kind of water cooling or something, to keep from overheating the blade.
I just picked up the black on black non mill. For 260. Going to match my black on black Malibu perfect. It looks sweet. Like the Malibus older brother
Need to check one of these out, great video as always Kenny! Loving the long videos btw!
Yeah, I think you would dig it man. I’ll send you mine after it does the tour👍👊 that’s why I was trying to get you to get one Hahahaha thanks a ton E👊
Definitely one I've been interested in.
You will get to see it soon👍
Believe it or not We knives was involved to some extent as well!! With all those chefs in the kitchen I’m amazed this still turned out to be such a fantastically functioning and sharp looking product (pun intended 😅)
I Can’t watch 40 minutes on one knife. Maybe it’s just me, but 20 minutes is about my limit.
Ark.
Play at 2x and you're back to the about 20 minute mark.
The MORDAX is GREAT!
Agreed👍👊
I like the Mordax. Great carry size. Slim but comfortable, and the action was addicting. Pretty sure my wife said "Stop it!" a couple times. 😁
Yeah, it’s a very well executed knife, with class. It’s hard not to like it lol oh yeah... it’s dangerously addictive action. I have to keep that one out of my hands if Dani’s in the house lol
The price drop incentivized my purchase, even though only milled blue scales were in stock.
First off my microtech knives have been drop from pockets and they held up incredibly good. Also not to mention how well there made peaple need to use there knives before they speek on them. To many peaple watching videos and not actually using there gear. Any way good vid need more videos letting peaple know like you have just done good job.
My coating have held up extremely well on mine too, it’s an excellent coating they use. I agree 100%. Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching👊
Kenny really good video!! I completely agree with you on handle material. I think most people over value it. I would much prefer better geometry and bte thickness then Ti handles!!!! Thanks as always for sharing brother!!!👊👊👊👊
Thanks a ton buddy👊 yeah man... the geometry would make a much bigger difference in “actual” use than titanium scales hahaha of coarse brother👊👊
I don't understand why you would recomend a knife (@ $200.00) that requires a re-grinding of the blade to meet to your expectations.
I just put the facts out there... a lot of people would think the blade geometry is more than fine for their edc, and that’s what I talk about. The blade grind is not up to my standard, but for most people, it would more than suffice. I recommend the knife, as long as it fits your needs and uses. If I want to spend over 200$, and then regrind my knife, that’s my own prerogative, and I wouldn’t necessarily suggest that for anyone else. I like everything else about the knife enough to modify it to fit my preference.
Nice vid, I love mine. 1st time using 20cv steel but that edge just lasts and lasts. Button lock, love it. I enjoy it all round but have not sharpened it yet.will see there. Thanks for your thoughts dude.
Thanks bud. Yeah, it’s a great knife, and I’m super happy with it. Mine was a breeze to sharpen, and I hope it’s the same for you.
Kenny you da man excellent review of the more de axe grind . regrind please to full flat grind .006 behind the edge I really appreciate and respect your thoughts
Thanks a lot Brian! Glad you enjoyed it:) yeah man... it’s going to get it as soon as I have a chance😉 and after it gets tested👍
Christmas came early 👍
😁😁😁
Watching that blade edge rest on your arm vein makes me so anxious bro hahah good stuff though. Straight truth
Lmao yeah... tempting that edge😁 thanks bro
Protech makes a quality product, I have a couple and plan on owning more. Mines in blue and it has absolutely no vertical movement, sorry Kenny. The only thing I would change on this one is the choil as I think the flipper is a bit sharp when it's between my middle and index finger, otherwise I love this folder. I like what you stated regarding aluminum. Domino appearance! Excellent vid!
They absolutely do, and I really want to try some more of their stuff. I might grab a Sprint. All good buddy, I’m glad yours doesn’t😉 mine is really only the slightest bit, and nothing I would even think twice about. I totally get that about the flipper choked up. I don’t really choke up in a hammer grip, like I mentioned, but I can totally see how that would happen if you do. More of the Domino to come😁 thanks a lot buddy!
@@inthepocket7405 If your interested in the Sprint Protech also makes a model called the Half Breed, it's a Sprint sized blade with a full handle.
I have seen those, and I’m super tempted to try one. In fact, I think I might have seen a deal for the holidays on one🤔
@@inthepocket7405 Look luck with that as they are not widely available. Hogue makes one called the A01 that is just excellent, I sold the one I had, a wharnie, to a friend but regret it and I'm going to pick another one.
I picked up the blacked out version with the milled handles, and the aluminum handles don't make the blade steel. If that's the case everyone should worry about flying, henceforth aircraft aluminum. It's lighter and often a better material for certain task. People should stop being judgemental about things and do research
I like the looks of the mordax, I'm just not a fan of button locks, great vid though Kenny! Is Ryan doing ok? I tried emailing him a couple times, but haven't heard or seen anything from him in forever! Just hoping everything is okay and hes doing alright.
I can understand that Shane. Different strokes👍 I did get a confirmation from Ryan that he’s okay, but he’s just been really busy at the new job. Also, the change in jobs made it so he doesn’t use knives at work anymore, so it changed his focus I guess🤷🏽♂️ Seems a little strange to me to just shut off like that, but hopefully he comes back eventually.
@@inthepocket7405 ok cool, thanx Kenny. Yeah that's a little crazy to just up and disappear from the scene completely, but hes a smart dude, he's prolly just doing what's best for his family.
Yeah, I’m sure he has just altered his focus. I just thought it was weird he wasn’t responding to personal texts.... just seeing how he was doing... no one was getting any responses. I had to leave him a message saying we were all worried about him, and to just let me know that he was okay. In which I received a fairly dry, impersonal response... it just seemed like a very different demeanor from him. I hope that it’s just the new job, and focus on the family, and I told him we were all here for him, and stoked for his new journey 👍
I don't have a problem with aluminum scales
no folder these days is worth more than $100.00 ( unless it was actually made by hand ! )! they are almost all Chinese cnc machine ( I can find no American cnc machines ) production clones ! the steel is hype the designer is hype ! they aren't knife makers the machine is the knife maker ! they are computer operators machine loaders and unloaders and assemblers ! and benchmade can't get that right !
I have to agree with your argument that aluminum DOES make a great frame material. I carry a lionsteel sr2 aluminum framed integral daily as a hard use work knife and I love it. People say it's slippery but, with the right machining, it can be just as grippy as titanium. The mordax has been on my list to aquire for a while now
Yeah, I’m not sure why everyone thinks it’s such a inferior product. It can be slippery, depending on how it’s treated, but so can titanium. Now would be a good time with the sale going, but it’s also horrible timing with the holidays here lol it’s always a tough balance this time of year.
U won’t regret it, it’s one if My all time favorites
“Knife-guy arm”. Yup. Have that condition myself... 😁
Lol yeah... my wife makes fun of me all the time😅
The people who say it’s not worth it seem to be the ones who can’t afford it in my experience
Thinking about getting one of these, I'll be trading a bnib st nicks manix 2 for it. Watching as many vids as possible so thanks for the content!
Did you get one? Honestly thinking about selling my xhp shaman to get one
@@StoneHands25 I didn't I ended up with a tanto pm2 instead which didn't stick around long
I love my mordax. Super good deal at 180$
Yeah man... almost tempted to grab a second one hahaha
Yo In the pocket I was born in Artisia LA County I grew up up there too I’m in Long Beach now and Huntington Beach small world brother. I love this knife I’m saving my chips to get this knife Koenig Arious is my queen knife but Mordax is my king it’s awesome I don’t care about aluminum or blade steel people are just steel snobs if you want your steel don’t buy it but the rest of us love it. So such your mouth and buy something else. I agree 100% there are so many steel snobs out there if you want it upgraded then spend $1000 for the knife there are a billion knives take your snobbby ass somewhere else and don’t mess with reviewers reviewing this knife. Kick Rock Pops 👊🏻🐓🌈💵⚰️🏁🇺🇸. Stop steel snobbin trollers. In the pocket your correct for sure
Blade- Man No way man... that’s awesome!! Where did you go to high school? I’m not too far from you now either, maybe we could meet up some time and talk knives👍 Nice! I’ve been wanting to check out an Arius at some point... those look really nice. Yeah buddy, people will be people, and it’s all good... to each their own. I’m just going to use the knife, and not judge it on the merit of the name of the steel they used, but the way they treated such steel. He’ll yeah 👍🤘👊👊
InThePocket for sures I went to longbeach high that would be cool my friends are not into knives as much as I am so that would be cool to know someone that’s into my hobby or better yet my life style. Let keep in touch and meet and talk Knives I knew I like your content and channel you remind me of people I grew up with small world lol. I really really love this knife. The Arious is my grail but it’s way out of my budget but this knife is my obsession lol. This knife is attainable. Just FYI was born in pioneer hospital in Artesia where you go to school. As soon as I got to hold this knife in my hand I was hooked I like the aluminum I’m kinda sick of TI I love the sound it makes that clinck it’s the perfect edc knife or knife period it’s refreshing to know I’m not the only one if I ever get this knife it would be the highlight of my life and knife life
Since it's buttonlock I think the aluminium was right choice and it saved some weight compared if it was titanium... What I am more concerned about is the steel choice.. I will not buy any 20cv/m390/204p knife until I see the improvement in heat treatment cause I am up to date on all channels testing the steels and 20cv/m390/204p are all equally shit!!! The performance is mostly on the level of D2.. So far out of 20+knives I've seen tested with this material ,1was performing and another was almost there but the rest was just waste of money!!! Why would I take the chance on that if I can get knife in a better material with less or equal amount of money..
For sure man. Marek, you know I am one of the first ones to say most production m390 or family is shit, but I have to hope that someone’s trying to do it right, and this was actually done well. I’m looking forward to seeing how it does In Gerald’s test. I’ve gotten son good stuff lately, including my Hinderer Xm18 3.5 m390 (61.7hrc). So I am really seeing how the significant jump in performance shows, and I’m starting to be able to gauge it in use and sharpening. This one should perform well in G’s test, and should be hitting the mark of 60-61
@@inthepocket7405 60-61 and above is actually great🙏 I had a bunch of ZTs in 20cv/204p and the performance was laughable.. I haven't seen cut test of Hinderer though so that is something I'm also waiting for, just 1 brand that does the HT well so I can pull the trigger myself cause I've seen m390 pm2 at 62hrc and level of performance was staggering! All 3 are great material but carelessness of some companies that cared more for the engraving than the HT led to abuse of its potential and ultimately pain the picture of shit steel witch it's not.. Hopefully this one will do what it should , otherwise the knife is fantastic design ,I LOVE IT❤️
the so called super steels are re-invented old steel ! hyped to no end by people that couldn't tell what steel it is without a label !
Dale leaves retarded comments just like this one all over the TH-cam knife channels
You must have said “Um” 500 times.
Thanks for counting👍
Mine has a 15 or 16 (think 16) degree edge and is 0.030" BTE.
Yeah man... that’s a bummer. I wish they ground these better.
I feel sorry for you having to grow up in a city ! and especially LA !
I was born in east LA left when I was in the 3rd grade 1963 ! visited relatives over the years ! what a crap hole !
Hahaha if you get out of “LA” California can be a great place, but it’s just a lot of people. The laws can sometimes be tough to swallow as well
10 minutes to say “there was a lot of hype”.
That's not what your mom said
why no thumbstuds smh
if you don't have a recon 1 you don't have a knife !
Their anodizing on the aluminum sucks. I've had 2 now and that stuff chips faster than cheap aluminum Kershaws.
Maybe you got a bad example or something. Mine has held up great, and I am not careful with my knives, and I don’t care if they scratch.
@@inthepocket7405 All my Protech knives have worn in great.
I don't believe you...lol. I have the blackout milled one and I use my knives and don't baby em, mine still looks nice and doesn't have any issues like that
I cant speak for the MORDAX but I do have a Protech SBR, which I'm almost positive that they're the same handle material & anno... that being said I say its TOP NOTCH ANNO JOB!
I kept hard opening mine while holding the button and it developed slight vertical play. I loosened the blade stop and spun it 180 degrees and the play went away. I now open it like I have some sense. Thanks for the vid Kenny👊🏼🔥💯
Sweet! If you want to get it reground, contact MSCUSTOMS on Instagram. He rounded my M4 Manix 2’s spine and put a .010” hollow grind on my Paysan. 👍
I’ll be doing the grinding most likely😉 he did do an excellent job on that Paysan though👌
InThePocket Mike (iheartknives) has it. If you watch the unboxing video, he said the action blew his mind.
I saw that lol he was like speechless
InThePocket Blade is heavy so that helps it out.
