It's growing on me more and more everytime I see it...im just not willing to pay the extra fee for it being integral...I could give 2 shats about a knife being integral...be interesting to see what the 2 piece looks like...
Same here. I’m not financially set up to be spending an extra 200 on top of my insane knife addiction lol. I do really like the design. Just waiting to see the two piece.
I feel like integrals only appeal to most nerdiest of knife hobby behavior. I use all my knives, and I couldn't give a damn about it being an integral... that said I'm starting to consider it
Dude this year is crazy.. The Tristache, Kunwu Compadre, winterblade Severn, MC Excalibur, Neeves Misdemeanor, winterblade factor 8ight in October… I swear to goodness I’m gunna have to sell the house.
Been watching MC for around 4 years and never knew his name was Richard, thought his drivers license said MC 🤣, he knocked it out of the park, integral is a definite, thanks Kole 😎
It looks like a mix of the shaman and the microtech anax, and wanna get one. I normally dont buy Chinese knives unless they are exceptional, and this one is. And it's actually a decent size.
This is my favorite of the knifetuber designs, followed very closely by your tri stache. Love both designs but I do really like the overall aesthetics of this design. Not sure I want to spend more then $400 or so for one though.
Your nutts paying more then 100 for a knife made in china not going to happen when we have USA company's, Japan, Tiwan all make great knifes and Pay their people well.
I cant wait for the 2 piece construction. Hope they use vanax or that other weird steel Kunwu started using. Ill probably buy the budget version as well
I was going to buy this no questions asked. But then I saw it in your hands and realized this is a bigger knife than I’d want. In MC’s hands it looked normal size. I’d totally go for a mini.
He want's it not to be much more than 400 dollars. MC nailed it! I think it would be so cool to have a CF scales, that way it would be lighter. Perhaps the budget version.
There's nothing more budget about carbon fiber than titanium. It takes the same amount of time to mail and you have to do the same processes oftentimes the raw material costs more. Carbon fiber is not a budget option
What's up neighbor! Currently, the pre-order is over. There will be a small drop on bladebinge sometime in January. Budget version is in the works too.
For the sake of peace in my house, I have passed on every knife this yr, holding bk just to justify a purchase like this bc of my wife 🙄 smh But idc I'm getting this baby here !! This honestly l👀ks like it'll be my safequeen FOREVER knife ❤❤ CAN'T WAIT to snatch one !!
After seeing your review, I'm planning on trying to buy this knife. BUT because it's a drop, I can't just buy it. Can't wait to see the prices on the secondary. Pre-order is the way to do even if you have the cash to fully fund a knife run.
That's pretty sweet. I really thought he'd produce some overbuilt monstrosity but this very sleek and tasteful. Not to say MC doesn't have good taste. I didn't say that.
If MC makes a Super Lock version, I'll get that. I really don't like frame and liner locks, tho, unless it's a button actuated liner lock or a compression lock.
It's gorgeous but I don't do integrals. I just don't get what the advantage is. I like to have knives I can completely break down. But I eagerly await the sandwich construction model.
HAH! WRONG! Not “unlike everyone else”. I’m holding mine right now. I won the non DLC version in MC’s giveaway haha You’re right man. Thing is an absolute banger and my most gucci knife by far.
@@TristateEDC 😂 Dang man that’s why I love you. You always make me laugh. Honestly it still doesn’t seem real that I have it. My next most expensive folder is like $150. Some people would call me crazy but I’m actually carrying it and using it.
@@WuberReviews to be fair that knife is a legendary budget banger that will completely change the landscape and community, whereas this knife is just another expensive knife
Man, what happened to Kunwu!? It was like every TH-camr got free knives 2 years ago. With the Pulsar & Chad. Then they vanished off the face of the map.
@goldentrucker7921 you won't regret it. The Elmax stays sharp forever. The knife still looks like brand new and I daily that knife. For 180. Nothing I know of is nicer. Good luck.
How come you won't show the lockup. Or the centering. Those are critical areas. Love the knife design but pre-buys have no guarantee, especially a first time for Kunwu, and Metal-complex.
JESUS CHRIST!!!! I'm having problem getting this bitch because it's from Japan and my bank doesn't allow purchases from GD Japan. I can't find an international accepted prepaid card. I want this one bad lol should've done a bladebinge release or something like the TriStache
The PM 2 is small. At least for big guys. Big guys get tired of small guys calling small knives big. 4 inch blade is decent size for big guys and it’s not big. Just saying. It’s all relative.
@@metal_complex effin awesome you’re reading and responding to comments everywhere. Really shows you care. I’ll be first in line (I hope 😅) for your lefty all DLC flavor.
I knew sending it to you first was a good idea! 😂 Glad you like it. Thanks again for taking a look!
Where do we go for the free samples ?

Not going to lie it is pretty nice
Remember when I said gawkgawk9000 😏
Both of yall putting the reviews out at the same time is great!!
Great or highly orchestrated?
Best intro to a video to date… I’m smiling and excited to watch it now!!
The first Kunwu integral, I'm in!

@@cainmiranda1204I hear that. He definitely mentioned a budget version coming
First tristate vid I have watched, you sir deserve my subscribe! Happy holidays! Never stop being yourself!

I fogged up my glasses laughing at the "gawk gawk 9000"
🤣🤣
I need one, the kinfe looks outstanding 👍😉 I own the Padre in Vanax DLC and I love it 😊
8:50 first the Spyderco switchup then the Murder Grip test.......Kole blink twice if Kara has you at gunpoint 😳
👀
That's only once... Heckin' concerned!

That's honestly a great comparison.
Someone said this knife will prohibit the owner from eating coleslaw.
Lol

You two are so adorable!! Imagine if your knives hooked up and made a kick ass knife baby… STACHECALIBUR!!!!!!
It’s really a good looking knife. It’s like the perfect melting pot of all your favorite knives rolled into one. I think this will be a smash hit.
I gotta grab one Kunwu killed it. MC had some great ideas
I think we need to see "murder grip" added as a standard. Tell me I'm wrong... I'm not.
Nice knife! I'm interested in the 2 piece design. 250 is more in my wheelhouse than 400.
Came back while looking at the Compadre. I definitely agree there should be a smaller version. I'd be happy with one anywhere from 7" to 7.5" overall.
So simple yet... so complex 😃
I really dig it
budget excalibur is an instant purchase
I cant wait for the 2 piece construction. Hope they use vanax or that other weird steel Kunwu started using. Ill probably buy the budget version as well
I'm so glad it's not another little knife! I wish maybe inlays to balance the weight better?
Heavier blade on the final version, should help balance everything out. 🤌🤌
congrats on both of your knives
This Guy has a great personality I like 2 see you guys Do a knife together Great video
Thanks Stashdaddy, made me laugh, made my day
Yea, that is fire. Obviously going to cop that when it drops.
I was going to buy this no questions asked. But then I saw it in your hands and realized this is a bigger knife than I’d want. In MC’s hands it looked normal size. I’d totally go for a mini.
Someday, somehow, someway I will own a Tri stache and the Excaliber, I love them both
Can't wait to get one
seems like a no brainer to add to a collection. I'm doing it.
We the people of Christmas Island approve.!
I think it looks great.
Straight from MC to the No.1 Toober! Ooh burn!😂ATB👍👍👍

Ugh I want one sooooooo bad
The more affordable version is coming soon. Patience my dude.
@TristateEDC haha thats a great point thanks dude. Sweet vid btw. Loving every videoI’ve seen thus far
I can't wait for this
I need that handle texturing when I'm working hard in the lube factory.
Beautiful knife. Would definitely buy one if it came in a smaller version.
@@bamfblades8138 bruh
Opens the knife and instantly spits on it love it. Also can we hear about this gawkgawk9000?
I would totally be down for this, but blew my budget on the almighty tristache
Where would one get your knife (Tri-State) at? BTW I’m close to you! I live in Taylor Mill Ky., about 10 min. From Downtown/Bengals Stadium
What's up neighbor! Currently, the pre-order is over. There will be a small drop on bladebinge sometime in January. Budget version is in the works too.
I definitely use way more tape on my boxes.
THE TRISTASH IS WAY COOLER! NOT EVEN CLOSE, BRO MADE A Frame LOCK??? 😂 LUV YA MC!
That Metal Complex guy isn't so bad. Nothing compared to Tristate doe . Both your guys knives look good . Hope your feeling better Kole 👋🏻😁✌🏻
You can hear me scream in pain when I bend over to grab the paper for the cut test. 🤣

You should have done the voice over thing every time you said El Max...bc it's Vanax...
I know, missed opportunity.
They have that knife almost completely ready to go on their OEM site

It's going to be a pre order. Was never a drop
@@metal_complex I was misinformed. Glad I commented and now I know. When and where will the drop be? Kunwu site or somewhere else?
@-T-BONE probably the Kunwu site 👍
That's pretty sweet. I really thought he'd produce some overbuilt monstrosity but this very sleek and tasteful. Not to say MC doesn't have good taste. I didn't say that.
Tom Green got a Knife Channel!!!
If MC makes a Super Lock version, I'll get that.
I really don't like frame and liner locks, tho, unless it's a button actuated liner lock or a compression lock.
Maybe the best knife video I’ve ever seen! 😂
This Metal Complex - Neeves Knives - Tristate EDC bromance triangle is a beautiful thing.
As are your knives.

Does it front flip well?
No front flipper, just the hole and studs

Its between a berg blade knive, and a kunwu. I wonder if any will have a flipper? If not it maybe a no go for me i like the flippers

Looks great but 5,9 oz is a drama

Well at least you'll have something to defend your cardboard box.

Yup. Already have the money set aside for this one. The fact that Kunwu is the oem just makes it all the more special for me.

If the 2 piece has a reversible clip im in.
Probably will also make dedicated left & right hand versions, same as he's doing with the integral.
@@markgreenberg5825 don't like dedicated anything. Thanks

@@goldentrucker7921 I just wish Kunwu was still making knives at super great value deals like their first knives. Pulsar is one of nicest knives I own
@markhagopian3257 unfortunately they're all pretty price now. Think I'm going to buy a pulsar soon though
@goldentrucker7921 you won't regret it. The Elmax stays sharp forever. The knife still looks like brand new and I daily that knife.
For 180. Nothing I know of is nicer. Good luck.
I could be talked into the 2-piece bikini Elmax version. 😍
It looks like a microtech anex
It is a beauty but I've made my choice. 😛
I just think they need to have three different models of this knife 10:33 as far as size goes 10:46
Great knife.. Can't wait to see the bikini version. Cheers!
It's really beutiful !! I want it. Perfect !! ^^
No offense to Kunwu, but I wish Reate was the oem. Nice review.
I swore i was subbed to this channel. Just subbed now, sorry bout that 😢
Better late than never 🍻🍻
How come you won't show the lockup. Or the centering. Those are critical areas. Love the knife design but pre-buys have no guarantee, especially a first time for Kunwu, and Metal-complex.
I really only show it if it's an issue. We also discuss everything i come across long-term on the livestreams. Zero issues with this one 🤌
To much talking. I want to see more of the knife.
Look amazing honestly! Just hate the fact that it's made in China
JESUS CHRIST!!!! I'm having problem getting this bitch because it's from Japan and my bank doesn't allow purchases from GD Japan. I can't find an international accepted prepaid card. I want this one bad lol should've done a bladebinge release or something like the TriStache
Ben Peterson beat all of you to the punchy
OoOo pretty
MC with a Chinese knife? Color me shocked. You know they quench the steel in the tears of child labor, right?
Kole was first, 100%
Did you like Jim Carrey as a kid? We have similar goofballness and I think it’s from watching Ace Ventura too many times as a kid lmaoooo 😂
The PM 2 is small. At least for big guys. Big guys get tired of small guys calling small knives big. 4 inch blade is decent size for big guys and it’s not big. Just saying. It’s all relative.
It's like a $20k-$35k buy in to get a OEM.... Anyone can do it if you have the $$$$
Is there some further context to the statement? I feel like if you have enough money there’s a way to pretty much do anything. 🤷🏼
I didn't pay anything. Kunwu offered to do it and I said yes.
Must be nice 👀🤣
