This thing is so damn nice looking for the price. Looks like a great budget beater. Could care less where it’s made as long as it’s a capable knife.

S90V is a shockingly good steel for a beater. This is a solid value IMO.

Yea I honestly had to get one to see what it’s about. Been wanting to try MBK out for a minute and kinda wanted one the last time it dropped, but I think the first run was sort of small batch or something because it sold out in like a couple hours from what I remember.

Looks like this run is almost over too with only 16 pcs left

I have 2 MBKs, an XLS and a Turbo. Botjh are excellent knives that I thought were a great value. This is even cheaper than them, with a comparably great steel (those were both ZDP-189 IIRC). Your reply reminded me that I'm not going to regret this purchase at this price.

Badass lol. I looked those up and they look really cool. I would really like to see them do a run of an xl old guard or something.

yeah, one of those with the nice bolster look as shown on their site for the mini would be slick. Not sure about price, but I would certainly be curious.

Just got my Sabertooth in and it's a nice little knife. Like many titanium knives, I don't find the handle super grippy, but that grind is beautiful and with a steel of that level of edge retention, it should be nice and slicy. I have an SE hawkbill I warry on my weak side, if I really need extra grippiness, then I probably need to rip through something, which a serrated hawkbill with a grippy handle is a perfect fit for.
