Product Description
Armed with an aggressive tanto blade, the Attilio Morotti–designed Maserin AM4 looks rather intimidating—and at 8.6 inches overall, it’s no small folder. The blade, made from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel, is deployed with a small, unassuming flipper Read More
WOW, this thing is a work of art. Normally, I would never buy a Tanto blade, its just not something I’ve ever been interested in. But the entire knife is just so well made. I might take a 1/2 star off for the weak flipper action, but a simple wrist flick at the same time and she opens beautifully. I’m hoping a little teflon oil; will free it up more. The Ghost clip is definately a unique feature and a conversation starter, but the jury is still out on its functionality because it has to twist your pocket in order to sit flat. It’s only noticeable when first inserting into your pocket and you soon forget about it. The pictures show the blue wood overlay a lot darker than it is. This knife is big yet very light for it’s size. I have the Maserin Police 680, a monster folder (IMHO) and this is only 1/2” shorter and the second largest in my collection. Can Gentlemen’s knives be large. It’s pretty enough to be one, for sure. Even with the funky clip and tanto blade, this knife is a jewel and I suspect the other colors are just as nice.
Just received the knife and very impressed. Looks as good or better in person than the photos. Has a feel of quality all around. Most impressive is the sharpness of the blade. You need to pay attention when closing it quickly with one hand cause if it snaps back too quickly and catches your thumb there will be blood (ask me how I know, ha ha). Four instead of five stars for the flipper and flipper action. I would prefer the flipper to be larger and maybe rounder to make it more functional. Would be more inviting to use and play with... And it appears the blade rotation needs to break in or needs a bit of oil to have the blade come out smoother... I feel some friction there. Hate to take the knife apart to open up the clearances a bit so will wait a while and try lubrication. But overall a solid 4 star knife - no regrets on the purchase!
Boy, the geometry on this one is almost perfect in my eyes if the blade's angle was higher and go flush in close. Handle touch-up could be better, there are still sharp edges. Good thought on the ghost clip. The flipper could have better curve; folks, use your thumb nail to stop the blade if you can due to the compromise with the flipper design
Beautiful knife - with a problem.
From a "quality" perspective, this is a 5 star knife. Especially with the retractable clip. Unfortunately - it is possible to cut yourself when the blade is closed and the knife is in your pocket. I.e. the blade tip is "Up" and on the backside of the knife. If you run a finger along that side of the knife you will get a cut on your finger.
Never had that happen with a closed knife before, so to me that is a design flaw and a safety risk. I will keep the knife, but its not something I'm comfortable "carrying" every day clipped in my pocket - so two stars.
This may be a "defect" in the knife I received - but it appears to be a design flaw.
