Best Button Lock Knife: Protech Malibu vs Ferrum Forge Mordax
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2023
- Is a button lock a switchblade? Not only does protech make awesome autos, they make super fun button lock fidgeters. In this video I pit two Made in USA protechs against one another- The Malibu vs the Ferrum Forge Designed Mordax. The Malibu is an extremely popular button lock, and the Ferrum forge is perhaps a bit less well known in Protechs lineup. These were loaned to me by Matt from Foolish Pride Leather, who bakes amazing wallets, knife slips, and leather beer coozies.

The Mordax is a knife that only shows up in a retailer when I don't have the funds for a new knife. So next time you see one think of me, I'm probably broke that day (usually because I've just bought other knives).
Since I recorded the voiceover I have seen mordaxs were just run again and about to show up at retailers in the coming weeks. So you must be about to be broke
@@AdvancedKnifeBro that makes perfect sense because I just ordered an Arno Bernard iMamba and that's my budget for a little while LOL
Oh well, I was in desperate need of a knife with kudu bone inlays, as we all have been at some point...
Man we’ve all been there
BHQ has their S45VN exclusive Mordax at the moment. Hope you're flush with cash. Or just sell some plasma. Priorities!
@@rhinosaur. You absolute legend! I didn't even have to sell a dog to buy it because my birthday is this week and we all know birthday money isn't real money. Seriously thank you LOL
It's so nice to finally see some love for the lanyard crowd on your videos
Would love more button lock vids. My favorite deployment method
Would love to add either to my collection someday.
"Edges it out". I saw what you did there, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro! You're an unconscious genius!
Another great video. The writing and narration is splendid sir.
Thanks for the video!
Another great vid 👍
Love the button lock comparison! I’ve got a WE Mini Malice button lock and gotta say it’s pretty nice with the contoured handles, and smaller overall size if you wanted a smaller knife to carry
Recently got a mordax took forever to get one and lots of persistence. I like it, fun knife
Lots of leathery goodness in this one. I hope to try one of those out one day to lean what they feel like.
I really like the one that goes THWICK every time you open it over and over and over
At this point, I'm convinced anything named "Malibu" is just the marketing department trying make their product sound more upscale than it really is.
Case in point, Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse.
I never have tried a Malibu, maybe I should get one but did get the rager and that is nice.
Devil Rider AND Dolomite ?!
Right tool for the job indeed ...
I have both. The action is equal and excellent on both. The Mordax is more of a get shit done knife and the Malibu is a bit more of a gentlemen size knife. I prefer the Mordax by a long shot.
😂😂daguuum BLADE OPS - so luv the Malibu- got the 1st production Malibu beast of a blade used the nutz outta it - will take the warny over drop pnt in the mordax- both stellar blades - great vid my man
Never disappointed 😂😂
Leather as in The Gimp? Nothing weird about that.😅
Glock with a lanyard sounds like a what-could-possibly-go-wrong scenario. I think the Malibu is named after the Barbie, which is named after the place, which is named after the car, which is named after Schenectady NY
seems logical to me!
Are you going to be at Blade Show West? Honestly, you are someone I would like to meet there and just get to shake your hand and personally thank you for making the videos you create. I love the humor you have in your videos. You keep my ADHD brain glued to every second of your videos.
If you can not get to go then I will just thank you here.
THANK YOU! I /WE TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS!
Again, THANK YOU!
I will let be there- wish they kept it in California because it was an easy drive for me. I appreciate the kind words!!
If you want a knife in this style that isn't quite as expensive as these two, check out the KnifeCenter exclusive version of the Civivi Conspirator. Black aluminum handle, button lock, S35VN steel, one of the best lockups I've ever seen on a folder, and a wicked blade shape. Even when you spring for the titanium clip from Civivi it's less than half the cost of a Malibu. No matter how much I spend on this stuff, I keep coming back to it. For the price it feels like I stole it from them.
I love my M390 Malibu, I’m still on the hunt for a Mordax. I REALLY want the Mordax as it reminds me a lot of one of the greatest folding knives ever - the Kershaw Skyline.
Adamsknifeworks has one right now. It’s the blue one that just got released. Good luck!
I found the honeycomb scaled Mordax in Magnacut at a mom & pop shop last weekend. I can’t put the damned thing down. It’s such a step up from the Benchmade EDC I was carrying before. I handled the Malibu as well, but the action didn’t seem as nice and the Mordax blade profile is what I imagine when I think about dream knives.
Just spit out my Honey Nut Cheerios on your Malibu in trunk comment. Thanks
Also, loved the pointless dvd stuff. Hilarious
Sometimes I need B roll, so the package had just arrived and it worked.
Ok
Once more a “hi” to the patreons.
fun
I noticed while looking through all those movies there was no copy off Weekend at Bernie's 2!? I guess it's fair to assume you already have it?
AKB is one cool dud.
Hahahahaha
Great. More reasons for the wife to make me sleep in the garage over my ever increasing knife addiction
I have to push the button on my fancy Malibu very hard to get it to press and release. Good because it’s locked up but kinda weird because it’s actions are so smooth.
Weird like Gonzo the Great and his love for chickens. Oh and my cool hanky is for cleaning my glasses and bonus, it silences keys in pocket.
Hodor jimping is what I came for
I have a leather brother too.
Lets just say my mom, who does leather work, didn't take my older brothers passing too well. These projects she is doing are getting out of hand....
I prefer the Mordax because I actually have one. I gave up trying to find a Malibu.
There are lots of Malibu’s available recently
Mordax 🙏
Does the Civivi Elementum have a good button lock? Scored a Spyderco Leafjumper. It's my new favorite knife. It lacks jimping. Weird, but I dig it.
People seem to like it. I ain’t never got one.
I always assumed the Malibu name was a reference to the Hole song.
Shiiiiiiiiit…..
They’re essentially the same knife but with different ergonomics (shapes)
Let me borrow that Dolemite. Promise I'll give it back. Knives are cool too I guess
Nothing like drinking Malibu "Rum" when youre 20-22 and dont know much better
In these comments remembering there’s lots of Malibus I’m forgetting.
Comment for engagement
Sliplock!
I've got both and I love both, although the malibu is just 100x better as far as action and ability to carry.
Not enough poop jokes. 1/10
Poop jokes aren’t my favorite jokes. But they’re a solid #2
I wish pro-tech would run the godfather again.
Oh, and mordax. The mordax is better.
Mordax is currently shipping to dealers be on the lookout… find this out after uploading
2:22 Cpm 20Cv*** not cpm 20v, 20v Is a very VERY different steel then 20cv.
Sorry, slip of the tounge!
The steel in the Malibu and mordax: bladeops.com/cpm-20cv/
20v on the other hand… can’t find much info on it other than a knife steel nerds article discussing a spec sheet on it. Was it ever used in knives? I have one in 10v, but even researching 20v is hard
knifesteelnerds.com/2021/05/24/cpm-15v-and-the-lost-cpm-20v-how-much-vanadium-can-you-add/
@@AdvancedKnifeBro20v is 10 more.
Dandy knives but come on man, as you well know, the only way to test a top dollar button lock is to baton it through a large oak burl. Or Joe X it through an engine block while doing the splits or whatever. That next reviewer will understand.
Nice knives..but and this might be me but are we not becoming a little obsessed with how knives open? And I am sick of looking at the Spyder paramilitary 2... sick of it. You love it...to me bit boring.
I mean think about blade steel. Who gives two shits… the only people ever getting use out of them are the RUclipsrs and knife testers for internet points. Knives are a silly hobby, and it’s all taken way too seriously. For me, a fun lock is a good thing… way more useful to me that how many more cuts a knife gets out of maganacut over M390. Enjoy your knives and sharpen them when they get dull.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro agreed. Maybe we should all concentrate on that hole thing... Spyderco love them.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro will never think about blade steel, life too short.
Life’s too short to worry about what super steel is in the blade
@@AdvancedKnifeBro shhhh it's a secret....I make steel....dude, there is no such thing as super steel...nada. heat treatment....all I am saying...heat treatment.. oh and blade geometry...
No, the sub text on this channel is… Where’s that meatloaf review!!! Years of waiting…
Glock lanyard 😂
I fucking hate button locks. But I love AKB, so I’m still happy that this video dropped.
I honestly don't understand why they even make knives that don't have button locks. It's the best lock and it's not close.
@@cavedog1279 laughs in compression lock, crossbar lock, shark lock, CBBL, and triad lock.
Laughs in slipjoint
@@AdvancedKnifeBro you don’t laugh in slipjoint. You just stand there looking both smug and disappointed in the younger generation.
Thanks for sharing.. but your opinion is wrong... Malibu > mordax
No Col Sanders you’re wrong!!!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro 😂😂😂😂
Sorry that’s all I could think of. You’d need white pointy beard though.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro and some chicken. Damn it. I'm hungry now!!!
Yea protech are nice but they scratch like a bit*h. Those scales always scratch and look like spit. $300 knife
Been trying to get one for the last 3 years. Until then I'm just going to have to cope with my aluminum sencut knife.
