I'm a fixie edc guy for many years. Haven't edc'd a folder since I almost lost half an index finger to a Cold Steel XL Vaquero. That and as I age I noticed less dexterity in my hands. Used to use an Esee Izula 2, great knife and still have a couple. But I found the Creely Mako in magnacut, what a perfect knife for a small ranch. Feed bags, twine, leather, pvc, etc. So far, quarterly stropping and a once a year sharpening seems to work. The Mako is an excellent blade, handle looks weird but melts into a medium/large hand.
It is a beautiful knife. But my reason for a fixie is for much more demanding work than a folder. Especially hunting, camping and if it ever happened - survival and self defense. The slick handle and lack of a finger guard make this a great "gentleman's" or Camp Chef fixie. Thanks for the vid!
It has a finger guard and you can get it in micarta if you don't want a slick handle but I'll give it to you on the size not being great for self defense ..that said I don't personally carry a knife for self defense so for me that one is a non issue..no for me it's slaying cardboard..cutting materials like plastic, and if I don't trust the steak house cutting my food😂
Titanium handle scales on a fixed blade is cool as long as they don't charge over $200. Even that's high for a fixed blade IMO. Great looking knife. 👍🔥🔥🔥. It's probably worth $250 being made here in the USA. Seems like alot for a knife that doesn't fold though to me.
Did you move or is this just a new "set"? I'm still figuring out if I can make fixed blades work for me. So far, the answer seems to be "scout carry" but TBD.
I love me some pocket fix blades, I always got a pocket fixed blade on me I'd really like to get my hands on that knife there is just one more thing that kind of sucks about that knife, I don't own it😂
From what I understand, Magnacut is intended to be treated to 63-64 HRC according to the Larrin Thomas. So I'd assume that it's ideal toughness there as well.
I have a Mink! Although since Axial came to market first technically it would be the Mink that looks like the alpine😂 - that said they both have very basic utilitarian style blade options that could be likened to many different knives out there

As you know, I edc a fixie. This one is a tad longer that my normal max length but I'd carry this one in a heartbeat.

I carry both, usually multiples.
I’ve been falling down the fixie train brother. I’m finding it easier to carry then folders nowadays
I edc a fixed blade and a folder most days.

Price is very reasonable for Magnacut, full Ti, great sheath, included UltiClip, Ti lanyard bead, and 100% made in USA.

The background I normally have up is currently under maintenance😂
I was going to grab one, but they only have the tanto style left.

Nice lookin piece. I’d carry it…👍🏻✌🏻
Was close to grabbing this one, but something else (not fixed blade) called my name.
Does magnacut loose a lot of toughness if being hardnend over 62 hrc, to 64 or 65 hrc?

Very nice 👌
I’m in California… can only open carry it if it’s on the hip. 😢
No concealed carry here…
Done with folders 😂😂😂😂😂
it looks like a high end "vosteed mink" ! check out their fixed blades.

Carry Both
I suppose that's why jeans have multiple pockets ...😂
