Your thoughts on Protech Malibu?

[Another Shepherd]

I have about half a dozen different MagnaCut folders. They all have issues except for the Malibu. It's one of the best folders I have.

It’s a good knife but not an excellent slicer
That is compensated by some good ergonomics and a nice construction

You know I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. The more I use it, the more I see it's a pretty thick lead in to the edge.

That said, because it is so lightweight I don't mind.

To the OP, I love the Malibu but like the Mordax even more!

Would you mind identifying "they?"

I have a couple of Malibus, a rec special and a textured black, the action is great, very ergonomic, but I like the Mordax a little more

I had one for all of a few minutes before deciding that it wasn't for me. Too small, too expensive, and too poorly ground for cutting. The Mordax is just better IMO, especially if it gets a hollow regrind.

Agree. A hollow ground would've elevated this knife up to perfection.
That said, it is still a higly enjoyable and practical knife. No regrets getting one.

My experience is much the same. Very well made, flips effortlessly. As a cutting instrument it’s mediocre, due to the thick stock and shallow grind. The button lock mechanism gets gunked up easily when doing dirty work and is hard to clean.

The antecedent of "They" is "about half a dozen different MagnaCut folders".

Well that cleared that up.

Well that cleared that up.

Grammatically, yes

Where do I go to sell my blue magna cut Malibu? Don't like it at all.
