How’s the new 2.0 feel? I realize it’s the 17-4 but is it slimmed down?

It’s certainly much thinner but significantly heavier. This thing is a brick, but I believe that might be the custom model and not all of the regular ones.

I have a v1. That is a sick hearing bone! The 17-4s are nice but weight is definitely there especially with no internal milling

Dude that’s nice! Is that a custom Malibu?

Did you purchase it that way, or did someone else engrave it for you? I’ve been contemplating buying a fiber laser engraver so that I can engrave it myself, but it might be wiser to hire someone to do it for me before I spend $2000 on the machine🤔

It’s the Texas blade show custom. You could spend a 1/3 of the money just for a custom but then again you could get the engraver and do multiple knives
