I have one in 3v, and i love it. Might need a Magnacut one too because I have a problem 😂 careful with the clip on the sheath though, its a danger to car doors
This is a really hard area to make a knife in, IMO. I mean, the Bradford Guardian 3 series exists. So does the Spyderco Mule (although, those are hard to get) for steel nerds.
That knife will draw a lot of envious and admiring glances when my fellow Montana Yellowstone Club members notice it dangling from the pocket of my Orvis corduroy slacks. They Ii be pestering me to cut their salume sampler plates.
I can speak for maryland laws, if it has a pocket clip that is exposed on the outside of your pocket it is not concealed. As far as I know most laws work this way
Idk where you got that information but you can legally conceal folding knives all you want. You can technically OC a fixed blade but unless you're using it for work/hunting I probably wouldn't. Some local laws are stricter.
Very nice knife. I'm a sucker for edc fixed blades. Have to figure out how to sneak another one past the wife. She doesn't get it but I just point at her purses if she gets on me about it.
This blade is perfect for the person in the trades who uses knives beyond apple slicing. Folders can easily be out of their weight class with that hinge. Also easy as hell to lose a folder, lot harder to lose a fixed blade. Just my 2 cents.
Interesting to see Nick set out for a near self-described Quick Shabazz review, and then 20 minutes later, when he realizes he just described one of the greatest cutting tools of his storied review life, a folding blade guy is talking through reasons to get many of the same fixed blade (like I used to for PM2's - "I have S30V. Now I need 20CV, oh yeah Cru-Wear, and then the BHQ M4 one...oh crap - they're dropping a Rex45 next month in copper..." etc. This Mako blew my socks off - one of the greatest knives made.
I was able to get one of the Knife Center exclusive Cruwear Makos in stock for around $250, its the only fixed EDC I've found that I'm good with carrying. As for the location of the blade steel marking, I normally don't like billboarding on my blade, but since Gary Creely is a knife nerd (and so am I) it kind of makes sense that he wanted the steel type to be more prominent.
Nicolás, really like the design and totally get the heat treatment, the steels, etc but that size and that price 🤔 just don't know if it's worth it. Great vid as always.🤝⚔️
Hey Nick 👋🏼 don’t you love this weather here in SoCal pre Thanksgiving? 🏝 🏜 🏖 BTW I missed seeing you at ccks this year. Happy holidays buddy and hope all is great with ya.
Not that it’s anything one couldn’t overcome, but many a great knife has had the enjoyment of it diminished by a sheath that doesn’t suit the owner. For what the sheath is intended for it likely works well but I’d never carry that way. Love my small fixed blades but I’m more comfortable with it on my belt. Winkler Knives make some exceptionally durable & well designed sheaths for several of their models.
Interesting knife. If I were to buy one I would have a kydex sheath or a stiff plastic insert to protect the user from being cut/stabbed. I know people who were stabbed by their leather sheathed knife when hunting.
Seeing as I had to google Gavic to learn it was spelled Gavac is a strong indicator I had no knowledge of either their history or design, but I have been making my Mako for 5 years. That Gavac Mako and my Mako are pretty different designs also. I named it the Mako because I thought it looked a little like a shark. Case has used that name since the 70s (it's a buck 110 type knife), although I did not know that until I had been making them for a few years. Neither the name or the design is borrowed.
I've had a Rex 121 Mako for years. It's a great edc fixed blade and Gary is one of the few makers crazy enough to offer that steel.
Still waiting on my mako Rex121 and have been for 2 years or so
@@charredhusk just got my email today! It's been 3 years for me. I'm psyched
I got an SPK sasquatch in Rex-121 at 71 hrc. Completely needlessly cool over the top knife steel.
@@-trmxzer0-235 I also have a BBB Handmade half flex trapper in 15v. That thing is unbelievable
Here's a nice video from Gary himself about the sheath and how to use it, which he shared afterwards. ruclips.net/video/Z3coNG5Np_U/видео.html
I've had my Magnacut Mako for a little while now and I bloody love it. Disappears into the pocket and comes out ready for hard use.

The logo of beauty in simplicity.
would love to see you cover an esee izula or izula 2
I have one of these, pg in magnacut.. fantastic little fixed that I take fishing
Nice review thanks

Oooh good point re mule series steel utility
What, no disassembly video, Nick? LOL

I get alot of good use outta mine. Offside back pocket is usually empty am I right?
spot on

Not left handed tho
If someone were to gift me one it would "Mako" my day (howzat for cheesy?).
Permission to speak Creely? Sorry. I think the best use of a Mako is to make us folks who love small fixed blades very, very happy.
I've got two of them one in 3v, and one also in magnacut. They are fantastic little blades.
Very nice knife. I'm a sucker for edc fixed blades. Have to figure out how to sneak another one past the wife. She doesn't get it but I just point at her purses if she gets on me about it.
The rex 121 is my grail. Its like holding a lazer
The vanax sharpens up just like that even a polished edge is real sticky
Oh this is exciting, I ordered mine back in March or so. Maybe I'll see it soon. I've got one already in cru-wear and it sees a lot of action.
“Quick” = > 20” again ;-)
Enjoyed it Nick.

I’ve got a Mako in LC200N and one on the way in Magnacut. I enjoy them quite a bit.
LC200N is sooo choice!

2 minutes into a 21 minute review the man says "this is gonna be a quick review"...... :)
Waiting the rewiev of the T.W. Price Dawn.
He's reviewing a fixed blade. Am I dreaming?
how much for that one you have let me know if selling it !?
Looks like a good fixed blade knife.
👊💪🤙🇺🇲
Seems to have borrowed the design and name from Gavic?
Seeing as I had to google Gavic to learn it was spelled Gavac is a strong indicator I had no knowledge of either their history or design, but I have been making my Mako for 5 years. That Gavac Mako and my Mako are pretty different designs also. I named it the Mako because I thought it looked a little like a shark.

Took me almost 12 months to get my Magnacut Mako. It’s an awesome knife, super happy to have it. Just incredible.
