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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😎
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.
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.
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
@@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
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
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.
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 ?

Great or highly orchestrated?

That's honestly a great comparison.
The first Kunwu integral, I'm in!
budget excalibur is an instant purchase
Best intro to a video to date… I’m smiling and excited to watch it now!!
I think we need to see "murder grip" added as a standard. Tell me I'm wrong... I'm not.
Someone said this knife will prohibit the owner from eating coleslaw.
Lol
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
So simple yet... so complex 😃
I really dig it
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
I think it looks great.
seems like a no brainer to add to a collection. I'm doing it.
Yea, that is fire. Obviously going to cop that when it drops.
13:25 Spoken like a true knife guy lmao this video is great
Can't wait to get one! So hyped for this and my reverse tux tristache!🖤🤘
I can't wait for this
congrats on both of your knives
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!
Straight from MC to the No.1 Toober! Ooh burn!😂ATB👍👍👍
Can't wait to get one
Someday, somehow, someway I will own a Tri stache and the Excaliber, I love them both
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.
I fogged up my glasses laughing at the "gawk gawk 9000"
🤣🤣
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. 🤌🤌

THE TRISTASH IS WAY COOLER! NOT EVEN CLOSE, BRO MADE A Frame LOCK??? 😂 LUV YA MC!

You should have done the voice over thing every time you said El Max...bc it's Vanax...
I know, missed opportunity.
Nice knife! I'm interested in the 2 piece design. 250 is more in my wheelhouse than 400.
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. 🤣
I need that handle texturing when I'm working hard in the lube factory.
I definitely use way more tape on my boxes.
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.
Tom Green got a Knife Channel!!!
We the people of Christmas Island approve.!
It's no Tristache... 😅😉🫣

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 👍
This Metal Complex - Neeves Knives - Tristate EDC bromance triangle is a beautiful thing.
As are your knives.
#humanlube
I would totally be down for this, but blew my budget on the almighty tristache
Beautiful knife. Would definitely buy one if it came in a smaller version.
@@bamfblades8138 bruh
No offense to the tristache but this is my favorite design ive seen in a while! I was going to stop collecting but i have to get the Excalibur first

Well at least you'll have something to defend your cardboard box.
I can't wait..
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
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.
Nut up is right!
Were guna leave Lefty outa this one lmao
They have that knife almost completely ready to go on their OEM site
Love the intro! Together......rt now!

Sick knife.. meanwhile, I'm here reviewing a $10 Walmart knife :D
@@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
I didn't start the yt channel until I had already been collecting for year or 2. But you'll get there big dawg.
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.
I could be talked into the 2-piece bikini Elmax version. 😍
Does it front flip well?
No front flipper, just the hole and studs
Man I should have waited on the Primo preorder
It's really beutiful !! I want it. Perfect !! ^^
It is a beauty but I've made my choice. 😛
Great knife.. Can't wait to see the bikini version. Cheers!
OoOo pretty
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
@@isthebeeflolliterally can't please everyone 😂🤷♂️
@metal_complex kunwu kills reversible clips just figured.. all good.
It looks like a microtech anex
No offense to Kunwu, but I wish Reate was the oem. Nice review.
Kole was first, 100%
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
I just think they need to have three different models of this knife 10:33 as far as size goes 10:46
MC with a Chinese knife? Color me shocked. You know they quench the steel in the tears of child labor, right?
Tuck and cross legs
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 🤌
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 😂
Ben Peterson beat all of you to the punchy
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 👀🤣
