Dalibor is grail territory without a doubt. His designs are huge for my hands, but I love his handmade materials and eye for detail. I wish he had a website that displayed all his designs.
You and I both because I refuse to go on instagram. TH-cam and Snapchat are the only 2 social networks I'm on and I refuse to go on any others. Hell, the only reason I'm on Snapchat is to keep in contact with a couple friends that live in other countries. Lol
Huge congratulations! Dalibor is an absolute master of so many aspects of the craft, particularly how soulful and individual his sole authored materials are. Such a nice guy, to boot. You have entered a rarified echelon of the hobby.
Wowie, wow, wow! I just recently worked with a knife maker to create a custom knife and he's still an Apprentice with ABS, but the creative and design process was so cool, because I let him take the lead, with my input, but this knife you have is beyond anything I've ever seen.
Not my cup of tea, BUT.. I love how you explained your thoughts process and motivations going into getting this knife. Not getting the knife YOU wanted, getting the knife HE wanted to create is 🤌🤌 and I can appreciate the knife like you do for that reason. It's definitely a beautiful piece of artistic expression 👏👏
I purchased a custom Factory 4.0 Full Dress when I received the knife it's was absolutely gorgeous I can only imagine how you feel about that knife l would buy that in a minute absolutely beautiful enjoy I hope to get on his Books I would buy one just like that one thanks for sharing
I just pre-ordered the new Evo 1.1 full dess (Zircu-ti and Damasteel) and the new Evo Fixed blade last week from NC Blade. They're not expected to ship till fall to late 2025, but I'm still tickled pink that I finally have something full dressed ordered even though I won't have it in hand for another year. When I got into knives 3-4 years back I never would've thought I spend over a grand on one. Hell, I never would've thought I'd spend over $200, but here I am not really looking at anything anymore that's less than like $500. Thank God for Afterpay and Sezzle. Lmfao
I've worked with an artist before, and when I told her that "you can't rush art," she was incredibly grateful. You're buying their time as much as anything else. If you let them do their thing, both of you will be greatly rewarded.
The thing that just amazes me is the fact that Dalibor made the handle steel. The blade is great but that handle is just absolutely in a league of its own. Then on top that it is an integral it is just mind blowing. Seriously I entered only thinking I would collect Spydercos and though MC I have been exposed to artist like Dalibor, Francois du Toit, and Herucus Blomerus to name a few.
For me, personally, Dalibor's Oberon and the Asgard are my favorite models - both a bit more traditional for overall shape and size. But, I can see why you picked this model MC, as it's very much in line with your preferences. Of course, it's phenomenal in every single way - materials, craftsmanship, fit n' finish and design. If I ever manage to both save up for and get a spot on Dalibor's waiting list - I'll be an insanely happy man!
MC, have been a subscribed viewer for a long time and this is my first comment. After watching you for so long, I know the work behind the scene that you put into your channel, for all of our benefit. I love this kind of content and I love listening to your excitement when you have obtained a knife of this caliber. I'll never be able to own a piece of art upon this level but that doesn't take away from the joy of seeing such an art piece and your reaction to it. Congratulations too you Sir, you deserve it 100%. You've worked your ass off to obtain objects of this level. Well done man!
All things considered, quite reasonable price tag. Haven't come around yet to liking those "organic" shapes, but that doesn't take away from this piece of art at all 👌
Reminds me of a strider with the blade shape and heavy jimping on the spine way above anything strider has put out very beautiful knife one of the best I've seen in looks and design thank you for sharing
Geezus While it’s not my style, I’d definitely want to own it as well, it’s just so beautiful, you HAVE to appreciate it, even if you wouldn’t normally
Keep stepping up the ladder. When you can afford a knife or two of good quality, sell them and keep moving up that ladder. It's really the same way with any art form.
@@mikeydudek2885 But if you're at Buc-ees you've already got your car with you so maybe you could work out a trade. If my car had a full tank of gas, I think I could swing it.
I think you need to do an high dollar knives showcase (I promise not to tell you wife 😂) in your personal collection. Most of us will never see anything like these ever in our lives and it’d be neat to have them all together and see what you love about each one.
That is a magnificent work of sharp art . Un-f'n-believable . I'm sure someone will say "gas station" . Please leave the gps coordinates of said gas station . If I could get a Dalibor Bergam custom integral , and a tank of gas , in one stop , that would be pretty awesome. They'd have all my business.
Would it be possible for you to get with the artists featured in the custom knife world and give us a peek at their magic/manufacturing process??? It would be so awesome to see your enthusiasm and their artistry at the same time...
I'm sure it's apparent but because you are a self described "knife reviewer", and rightfully so. It would be really awesome to see you geek out over the process and might take your channel to the next level... I'll be watching either way hhough
I couldn't agree more MC, it would really be cool if you could interview a maker of this level because it blows me away human hands created such a thing.
If you wanna confuse the hell out of someone , put this knife down next to the Marfione stitch and tell them the stitch costs more. Absolutely baffling 🤣 Tony just does not give a crap about everyone else’s prices. He’s just like I wanna sell the most expensive stuff. Who cares if it’s the best, it damn well will be the most expensive though lol.
I’m applauded at that price. How could someone possibly charge that much for a knife that took an entire summer to make by hand. Oh wait no I’m not. Sounds like a good price when you think about it in the context of making the materials and then making the knife BY HAND. That thing is beautiful and I’m usually not a fan of colorful timascus etc on knives.
Yeah, think for a moment about other forms of art ie paintings or sculptures. People pay far more for those forms of art than what MC payed here. I find it difficult to wrap my mind around the fact that a human being created such a wonderful object.
Absofreakinglutely gorgeous piece. Here I am happy as hell and tickled pink that I just pre-ordered my very first full-dressed knife last week (the Rotten Evo 1.1 in Zircu-ti and Damasteel) and here you go pulling out this beast which is better than anything I will ever be able to afford and/or own. Wth man. Lmfao. I'm sure it would've been hard as hell to do, but it would've been nice to have the pivot pattern line up and match (mirror) the pattern on the knife handle itself. Either way, this thing is SICK AF. Sad thing is, I would actually use this if I was able to afford to buy one. Wouldn't use it for anything other than opening packages, but it would still get used. Lmfao
At this point you dont buy a knife, but a piece of art. Ull never use it until the zombie apocalypse and then you are the guys with the best skin for a knives. Jokes aside I love the design.
You mean overpriced knives that are made by a company that hates the second amendment? To each their own but I would suggest Quite Carry and Vanex super clean, Beats anything Benchmade does and nowhere near as expensive
@@rocknrolljesus3197 In what respect does Benchmade not support your 2nd Amendment? Why would they even comment on it? Surely knives would be covered under it - after all they're the tools/weapons which put us on top of the food chain.
First off, all respect to the legend Poopy Pablo...this knife is NOT Poopy Pablo...its fun to say so i think every Metal Underscore Complex comment i leave for the rest of time, will, in fact, say Poopy Pablo....👊
Ok now is my turn to say something stupid on the comment section!! So MC can have content for his voices on his next video That look like a kizer mini paragon!!! I rest my case here!! LOL

I love mechanical engineering at this level, incredible work.
So cool that you decided to go full excessive on the build . It is a perfect example of all out custom including the BOM . WOW NICE!!!!
Klingon war rainbow! That knife is stunning at every level.
It blows my mind the creativity and workmanship.
That tire tread pattern on the blade is wicked. This is awesome man.
I believe they have one at the citgo gas station up the street for $10.
I saw one for $15 at the flea market last week. The action was gritty.
Mine was off centered
Ooohhh. Look who's being stupid for comments. Well done. Very original, indeed.
OP is a channel member. He's obviously just having a laugh 😉
10??? I bought for 14$
Congrats. I have owned several knives from Dalibor. He is an amazing maker.
Magnificent. Excellent craftsmanship and a work of art
It's truly an amazing knife, I personally would never cut anything with it, but I'd love to meet the person who would.
Absolutely gorgeous! Handle to Blade length ratio is a bit strange but does it really matter when this piece is never going to see hard use anyway?
That handle material is NUTS, too cool MC, the best of the best 😎
All things considered, quite reasonable price tag. Haven't come around yet to liking those "organic" shapes, but that doesn't take away from this piece of art at all 👌

Dalibor is definitely on another level, that's an amazing piece.
Wow - that is stunning, like a crown jewel in your collection!
Geezus
While it’s not my style, I’d definitely want to own it as well, it’s just so beautiful, you HAVE to appreciate it, even if you wouldn’t normally
i been able to talk to dalibor a few times. hes such a cool and nice dude.
I love it! Best knife Ive seen gorgeous! Your lucky to have that gem
Most beautifull knife that I never seen. Wish to be able to afford it. Congratulations 👍🏻👏👏👏
Keep stepping up the ladder. When you can afford a knife or two of good quality, sell them and keep moving up that ladder. It's really the same way with any art form.
Yowza, that's stunning. I want that Attor just to own something he designed.
If he could get some shelf space at Buc-ee's, he could probably move quite a few of those. I'd pick up one of those with some jerky and fudge.
They are north of the price of a used car tho.

I love the area where the back spacer would be
This looks amazing! Reminds me of an icicle.
I love my sole author mars and mini unnamed. Dude is a monster maker and all around awsome homie. Congrats MC on the build
Just when I thought I've seen it all you go and show me this!🤯
That price is CRAZY! I would’ve guessed the materials alone would be worth that much.

Good lord that's a serious work of art!
It's almost like something Lucifer would carry in his pocket. Elegant and brutal at the same time. ☯️
From the photo you used for the video it looked like a crazy strider for a second

Need a cool glass display box for it
Beautiful knife 😍
Absolutely stunning 😍
I’d love to see those videos he shared with you during the process of him making it for you it would really be a pleasure to see!!!
I'll add them into the final video 👍
This looks like something a monarch would EDC. 😁
That thing is so gaudy Liberace would collect it.
You beat me to it.
😅😅😅
Gorgeous knife!!! Sic! 🔥 🔥

I am jelly! Enjoy MC!

Just curious if you will ever cut anything with it. Paper, maybe some arm hair 🤔 Not sure I would or not if I owned it. Guessing arm hair for sure.
Nope
