The Maxace Little Guy (that's it's new official name, you can't change my mind) is like if maxace got high, looked at their friends and said "bro you wanna see something funny"
I haven't watched the video yet, and I have no idea what this means but it's already funny Edit: I actually think I might know what this means Edit 2: Banger comment
Maxace and LDY are really impressing me, cool Chinese companies making cool stuff! I love that they take packaging and included extras to the max(ace)!
I’m really trying to figure out where LDY sells their stuff rn. I’m super interested in there products. I’m also hoping to see more great products coming out of the Chinese companies. They been really upping their standards in recent years.
Something that was really cool of maxace to do also is that they now include a really good quality case with the appostle, and they don't charge a penny more for it. IT'S LIKE AN ACTUAL CASE WITH A HANDLE AMD FOAM THAT CAN HOLD LIKE 5 BALISONGS. I am absolutely blown away that they did this. Add that to an already 10/10 unboxing experience, i would give it a 15/10
I just found your channel, a few days ago and god-damn, you made me get back to a thing I forgot how much I enjoy. And the way you present everything, the editing, the jokes, all of them is my type. I really appreciate the work you put in every second of the videos. I love this channel, and you, who run it.
my first balisong (after a CCC my friend gave me) was an Obsidian, and ever since getting it I've been a fan of Maxace, so glad we're getting a video on Maxace!
as a huge maxace fan and specifically a pian fan this video was awesome and very enjoyable to watch! Still asking you to try Kuski barrels for the pian i think the balance is much more on part with competitive flippers and its my personal favorite flipper ever since i got it 😄
great video will and brandon, you’ve outdone yourselves. also i have an obsidian s and i love it, but the little t6 screws are the worst things in existence and i’ve lost half of them from them just falling out
Very awesome video! I love you how you mixed it up a bit and reviewed several at once but still put a lot of detail in it. I want an obsidian bad. I know it's probably a weird flipper, but it is so gorgeous! Unfortunately the black one is hard to find these days without paying way over retail.
Most of my balisongs are from Maxace. As a European they are easier and less risky to get then anything from the USA. I own a couple of more expensive (300-400 dollar range) balisongs but I really think the serpent strikers are best for me at the moment.
The uahhh....the very small one seems a bit more like an actual weapon knife rather than a balisong used for flipping. It seems like a real deadly, and easily concealable knife.
I like how professional this channel is, with all the expensive Bali songs and high quality cameras with amazing scenes and how unprofessional they are at the same time
Will! love your stuff, altho the one thing I do have a question about is the distribution of the scores, the middle of the scale is 6/10, And that's rather odd considering the average is meant to be 5. this leads to the bell shape curve out of wack
Finally! The pian gets the respect it deserves lol been saying this for a while man. I just wish they sounded better tbh. Is it the best? Nope but it's very good for sure! The apostle sounds much better. But now maxace is going to blow up from this and will ever be in stock haha. Crazy how much impact you have over people's opinions and wants. Imo people should get what they like regardless. They shouldn't have their minds made just because someone likes or dislikes a product lol
2:48 - 5:37 ohhhh I was always told maxace made clones at the beginning and then turned original, that makes a lot more sense, the thing is i don't think its as based in racism, that may have spawned some comments and jokes but because of the balisong's community in specific not liking clones of their products(ive checked, we are literally the only community that cares that much. yes, people give you shit in other communities but your still allowed in the main reddit for the most part, people have literally quit making balisongs or furthering their designs and sometimes deleting their instas because people called them clones for being mildly similar of at all and i can think of a couple of instances where that has happened during some time's even recently or while I was taking a break) there is another instance that is sounding similar to maxace's story atm, kotlin posted about a knife on his instagram that's being sold on his store and because the maker is unknown he is getting bashed for making clones even though I've seen no evidence to support that yet(I've seen the makers insta, its public, and there isn't a single clone to support that theory, there is just that knife), and they bring up the selling on kotlins store who actively promote clones, bro, maxace sells on aliexpress stores that sell clones all the fuckin time, I don't see you walking around saying he clones shit, people are willing to spite a new maker just trying to make their knife known because they don't like him, I said this on the reddit post soul posted: "I've seen the makers Instagram, this is his only knife, he doesn't make clones and doesn't deserve the hate he gets for taking a deal anybody would of taken. He gets to sell on a website globally on a relatively established store when all he needs to do is send his stock in or send his knives to the address that shows up, fuck, I would of taken this deal and kotlin drives me nuts too(and he tried to get out of my partial refund) but if it meant a market internationally I would put that aside, doesn't matter if I hate the guy, you sometimes have to work with people you don't like." while I agree that "anybody would of taken that offer" was a bit of an over exaggeration, I still stand by what I said, to be offered the ability to sell your knife all over the world for a new maker would be huge, could he do that on insta? ya. but think about what he has to do on aliexpress "ohhh new order numbers, send it under this name at this address" boom its done, no semantics, not having to ask extra for shipping, just here's the money, deliver the knife, and he gets free publicity from an account bigger then him, bad publicity is still publicity, and the fact kotlin says its a secret from who its from(I already know) proves that, he just wants to sell his knife, kotlin may have been the only one that offered and he doesnt what to be associated with him maybe, that's not racism, that's hate of clones and kotlin, that's just guilt by association, which as I've said before, maxace products still sell on clone sellers stores so where's the hate for maxace? in my honest opinion, I'm willing to take L's, this is one I'm willing to take especially, yes kotlin is an ass but if its in support of a new maker, I'm willing to buy it, i just like taking risks like that, i took a large one recently in buying the log design ti knife from aliexpress, it was a lot of cash but I know both sellers because I've bought from them before, my knives got delivered and kotlin price gouges sure but mostly on the ti clones, by the makers own words these shouldn't be that much higher then 279$, I was planning on making a video on my secondary channel(here it is, shameless self promotion: ruclips.net/channel/UCEX2erEtbbgLJjavpBkwtjw )so I have visuals and stuff and now so this can be more then a "just trust me bro", I just wanted to get my thoughts out here too. btw love your videos, your awesome, just wanted to share, have a great day will.
What about..........Maxace Skeleton II definitely getting that on the 1st and making my family eat Roman noodles till next month. Gotta give a little to receive a little in this house. Lmao
I actually bought one of the original Covenants when they first launched and man the controversy on the subreddit was crazy.. I was singing its praises for the construction, flipability, included hardware etc but damn the clone issue was nuts lol. So much xenophobia, that's for sure. Sadly I sold it to raise money about 2 years later and never wound up buying a V2 to compare, also bought a DMG, Banshee and channel Petrel but have since sold them all. The Apostle looks tempting but I got a Serif recently and damn.. that knife really changes your perspective on all other balisongs. I hardly flip anything else anymore lmao.
MaxAce Hellcat was my first decent bali and I couldn't be happier with it. Picked up a CF Lucha next and other than the blade steel, it's a downgrade. Thinking about getting a Covenant III next. MaxAce is pretty rad.
Hey will. just one correction! a Batangas made blade has the latch on the bite handle.... its a manila folder if the latch is on the safe handle!!!! and knowing is half the battle!!!!! did I win a vulp?
As someone who personally is neutral about clones, I dont see why the Bali community would be upset about getting a FREE BALISONG especially with it being a Replicant clone, I mean, I get its a clone, but with rep clones you can customize the absolute living crap out of them and make them pretty much an authentic. It just doesnt make very much sense to me why people would get upset over it bc i know id be very exited if I got a free rep clone but thats just me.
So I have an Obsidian and i really like how it feels and the look but thats all. 279€ and tap like 16 min after flipping it is just a nightmare. Second or third day i dont remeber one of the 4 carbon fiber fell out and I had to glue it back in. No locitce out of box too but thats not a big problem i do actually like it without so I can do it myself. I dont know if the quality changed I bought this like 11 months ago but if not I would strongly not recommend maxace or in particularly the obsidian. Someone out here who can tell me your own story of having a maxace knife maybe the same or a diffrent one? Imo maxace is not underrated just bad. Or maybe I was unholy unlucky.
They are a solid nice Balis but not close to 350-400€ for that money you can buy Antropos,Balisong knifes from Russian very quality knife maker,also from titanium and even with beautiful Damascus steel blade and he have very good Balis for 150-200$ with g10 handles,awesome blades and knifes are very very good flippers with good balance...
I own couple of maxace knives great knives but terrible after sales service. I bought troug ebay Petrel and didn't come with tang pins as soon as I received tried to get tang pins because until knife arrived I was aware that they are prone to break. Seller responded that knife was shipped without spare tang pins and promised to ship me soares as soon he gets them. In meantime one of pins broke and I sended couple of emails and tried to get help from factory directly trough Facebook and Instagram but no one ever replied. I still love maxace knives tho. If anyone knows where to get zen pins for channeled Petrel I would be grateful for that information.
Put a couple drops of knife oil and use microfiber cloth to spread a thin coat over the blade. If the blade has already developed rust you may have to rub the rust out a few times until it doesn't show anymore. If the rust pit is severe it may have to be sanded down with sandpaper. Make sure you always dry the knife off well if it gets wet. Then apply a thin coat of oil/synthetic lube. If blade rusts easily do the same after any fingerprints. ( Will recommends super lube I'm sure you can find a link in his description.) If you plan on prepping food with the knife try a food grade mineral oil

Maxace and ldy give you trainer and live blades which is dope

Omg I'm so glad!!
my first balisong (after a CCC my friend gave me) was an Obsidian, and ever since getting it I've been a fan of Maxace, so glad we're getting a video on Maxace!
My first real bali was a Maxace DMG!
Take a shot everytime will says “interesting”
crab will is my spirit animal
as a huge maxace fan and specifically a pian fan this video was awesome and very enjoyable to watch! Still asking you to try Kuski barrels for the pian i think the balance is much more on part with competitive flippers and its my personal favorite flipper ever since i got it 😄
I'm excited for your upcoming Maxace Phantom balisong trainer!!! :D
You should Change the availibility Score for the pian and apostle
You can get Thema easy on lamnia which is like the european Version of blade hq
Just as I bought my first bali (maxace unicorn) you posted this, so excited to learn how to flip ❤️
great video will and brandon, you’ve outdone yourselves. also i have an obsidian s and i love it, but the little t6 screws are the worst things in existence and i’ve lost half of them from them just falling out
Wow!!! I like that lil de. Looks perfect for defensive edc
10:05 YOOOOOOOO
It's the blade bias guy
holy crap lois it’s telestro from blade bias
Holy shit it's Telestro Flips from Telestro
WTH It's Telestro from Dimension Zero Media!!!
Very awesome video! I love you how you mixed it up a bit and reviewed several at once but still put a lot of detail in it. I want an obsidian bad. I know it's probably a weird flipper, but it is so gorgeous! Unfortunately the black one is hard to find these days without paying way over retail.
I would love to see a full review of the Vulp in this style
Most of my balisongs are from Maxace. As a European they are easier and less risky to get then anything from the USA. I own a couple of more expensive (300-400 dollar range) balisongs but I really think the serpent strikers are best for me at the moment.
Next thing for me to own would be a Maxace collaboration with Will’s first titanium designed Bali. OoOooOoOoOoOooOoO~
I Like the Unicorn with the Bowie blade in Red And White 🤓
I'll consider one of theirs next time I buy one maybe. The website doesn't have the balisongs on it tho
I was really hoping you were going to do the Banshee v2
Maxace being one of my favorite companies just design wise, and favorite overall this is really nice to see
You can take a chance and shop at 5 or 6 stores; I'll stick to one... that I trust... which is actually the two you mentioned bladehq and knife center
You da man!...I know you got pull. Wish I can get my hands on the same knives you have access to.👍👍👍
The uahhh....the very small one seems a bit more like an actual weapon knife rather than a balisong used for flipping. It seems like a real deadly, and easily concealable knife.
had a DMG years ago.... i miss that thing
Damn didn't know maxace was such an awesome company. I have their Mammoth folder, bought it about a year ago when you made this video lol.
I like how professional this channel is, with all the expensive Bali songs and high quality cameras with amazing scenes and how unprofessional they are at the same time
Will! love your stuff, altho the one thing I do have a question about is the distribution of the scores, the middle of the scale is 6/10, And that's rather odd considering the average is meant to be 5. this leads to the bell shape curve out of wack
Another day another amazing video
once I saw Will squat walking, I knew it would be a good video
1:52 while we are on the subject of interesting balis, u should review the balisword from atropos
Dude my serpent striker 2 trainer is so enjoyable to flip. It's so well balanced and the perfect wieght.
That covenant blade shape is one of my favorites, shame it's so unpopular. 😢 I even got ruike p108 for it.
YEAA BABY
crab will crab will
Although the banshee v2 isn’t my favorite flipper, I still like it and like the e company
It's so impressive that you guys to manage to review 3 balis at a time
How about a review on the maxace banshee v2
Finally! The pian gets the respect it deserves lol been saying this for a while man. I just wish they sounded better tbh. Is it the best? Nope but it's very good for sure! The apostle sounds much better. But now maxace is going to blow up from this and will ever be in stock haha. Crazy how much impact you have over people's opinions and wants.

there is another instance that is sounding similar to maxace's story atm, kotlin posted about a knife on his instagram that's being sold on his store and because the maker is unknown he is getting bashed for making clones even though I've seen no evidence to support that yet(I've seen the makers insta, its public, and there isn't a single clone to support that theory, there is just that knife), and they bring up the selling on kotlins store who actively promote clones, bro, maxace sells on aliexpress stores that sell clones all the fuckin time, I don't see you walking around saying he clones shit, people are willing to spite a new maker just trying to make their knife known because they don't like him, I said this on the reddit post soul posted:

Can you talk a bit more in detail about the scorpious x
if i remember correctly someone asked the guys running balicomp if he could just have something and they just GAVE hime a covenant
In my opinion the best one out of all of them is the covenant.
you didn't see obsidian
those are some pretty balis
can you review more amzone bailsongs like OWNALL Addax or the MARCOLO Comet
How are they able to import live blades legally?
0:05 that is all
Best starter brand IMO because so many models come with two blades.
Medusa review?
*unhinged B-roll noises*
I just bought a squiddy and it’s coming in the 28 sep
I want to make a knife with a cloud handle 2 piece thing with a lightning bolt blade
After getting into flipping, I took a picture of "Max A/C", sent it to a friend and said "ha funny"
How can apostle only gets 10 on unboxing? it comes with a nice hard case while others only come with zip porch.
I have an maxace banshee v2 and its awesome
Will you ever make a video on the Obsidian S?
As someone who personally is neutral about clones, I dont see why the Bali community would be upset about getting a FREE BALISONG especially with it being a Replicant clone, I mean, I get its a clone, but with rep clones you can customize the absolute living crap out of them and make them pretty much an authentic. It just doesnt make very much sense to me why people would get upset over it bc i know id be very exited if I got a free rep clone but thats just me.
Shipping to the uk is so hard, I tried to buy a squiddy but it added £30 of tax 😢
If someone finds a reliable way to buy a maxace covenant v2, please lmk, I’ve been really contemplating if I want to or not 😂
I got case Alpha and it’s very worth it btw!
33:26 there I am!!
i still really really want a pian
availability 6/10?! Maxace store has most of their products available alltimes and they ship worldwide.
So I have an Obsidian and i really like how it feels and the look but thats all.
279€ and tap like 16 min after flipping it is just a nightmare. Second or third day i dont remeber one of the 4 carbon fiber fell out and I had to glue it back in.

Wow he ain't dead
Why tf did you take the laront seriously instead of making it a shitpost :(
I’d say that Maxace creates interesting names for their balisongs, but there’s something about their style that just sucks me in :s
Leave my boi Loran alone he's average and has a great personality
Can we just start calling and rep clones replicant replicants? I feel like it’s just a huge missed opportunity
Ha, duty
relatively cheap at just 350 dollars
Please anyone help me find the banshee with the tuning fork
i feel like the luron is the shitpost from maxace

Hey I was wondering how to prevent rust and stop it from happening on balisongs that can get rust if anyone knows how please reply!
Put a couple drops of knife oil and use microfiber cloth to spread a thin coat over the blade. If the blade has already developed rust you may have to rub the rust out a few times until it doesn't show anymore. If the rust pit is severe it may have to be sanded down with sandpaper. Make sure you always dry the knife off well if it gets wet. Then apply a thin coat of oil/synthetic lube. If blade rusts easily do the same after any fingerprints. ( Will recommends super lube I'm sure you can find a link in his description.) If you plan on prepping food with the knife try a food grade mineral oil
