MC , I’ve been out of power and running around trying to avoid these northern Cali fires and being evacuated - I finally have power again and it’s nice to be home and watching some metal complex again.
I've got to have one of these beauties! Always wanted a Mayo custom but they were way out of my price range. I own a few Reate knives (including the PenaX/Reate collab) and the fit and finish and is flawless on all of them. Great review!
Good looking knife! And I really like the way the flipper folds into the knife. I could do without the swedge but it doesn't look bad. This knife is one that I would definitely carry and look for a reason to pull out and show people. The price is high but not overpriced for what went into it. Not one I could afford but one that I want! Great review MC!
Another absolutely dead nuts on review MC! Agreed this is a serious winner by Wingman/Reate/Tom Mayo/Lee Williams! They go extremely fast when they post on WingmanEDC’s website so if people want them make sure y’all sign up for their email notifications!
I lovvvve not having a flipper tab on my knives - that’s awesome. Better cutting path and easier to cut while something is laid down and you need to rock the entire blade length up and down to Make multiple cuts or for small food prep- the flipper is in the way typicllay for me and then I can only use a tip or some slight belly of something is laid in a flat surface. If you cut over a wood board , or rope that’s on another surface, or anything that needs to be cut while laying flat down, it makes much more sense to me to be able to use allllllll of my blade. When I put a blade down on its flipper, if it’s too long, you’re stuck only making cuts that are lifted or in your hand, and you can’t rock it from tip to bolster up and down, to actually USE THE BLADE and to be able to use all of it. Love flippers , but I hate the tab when the blade is deployed, or else I’m stuck using just the tip for media that’s on the ground or on a table. That blade is able to cut all the way back to the bolster.
Gangster???? WTF, they forgot to round off the butt end of this knife. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about it. I personally find a pointed butt to be rather uncomfortable and have to wonder what the designer was thinking, actually it is the only feature of the design I would pass on and otherwise price aside ($500) I am really liking this knife.
I think you should check out the cold steel srk search rescue its a fixed blade for $45 you can't beat it in my opinion when im out in the woods i always carry my cold steel wild west bowie my and my cold steel srk search rescue
Commenting before I watch... Normally I can tell by the thumbnail if it's a high-end grail or more budget friendly kind of knife, this one however I have no idea.🤷🏾♂️
I like the knife the only thing in my opinion there is no Choil to stop your hand from sliding up the knife and cutting yourself on the blade badly. Example like usual the flipper tab would normally stick out the bottom and that would suffice and would be used to be a guard to stop the hand from sliding up. I’m talking of course puncturing and hard use. The frame doesn’t look to seem to be enough to stop the hand from sliding But I like this knife a lot I would use for light use it is bad ass. It’s just maybe this knife would have been wise to not have a hidden flipper. I’m not a fan of holes in handle and small back spacers. I know I might catch some shit but remember it’s just my little opinion course if it’s going to be used in the fashion where that injury is possible I can be wrong. Nice vid have a good one brother
Very innovative flipper tab.

Good gent carry
Mayo did a collaboration with buck on a couple of knives and at least one of them was awesome.

I imagine it has something to do with self defense since that being smashed into a skull piece wouldn’t feel very good at all. Gangster no doubt !!
That is freakin Awesome. Sneaky very sneaky :))
