TacKnives Magnificent Beast
This knife actually started off as the Budget Unnamed. But after everything was said and done, I felt it deserved a new name because it ended up looking quite a bit different from the Unnamed. The main changes were to the blade shape and the handle around the pivot area. I also added the rock grind, although that could still change in future versions.
The Unnamed was my first love. It was the first knife I ever designed, and I remember every part of the journey. Unfortunately, a lot of people didn’t like the blade shape, and many also didn’t like the plunge lock. That was pretty much the end of the road for the Unnamed.
But I still loved everything about that knife.
I’ve always been drawn to knives where the blade is wider than the handle. I like a hole that allows an easy middle-finger reverse flick. I like good jimping. I like a front flipper. And I love a good rock grind.
So with those things in mind, here comes the Magnificent Beast.
I was not sure what to expect with this knife. I buy knives a lot so I have received knives to were a big disappointment. i purchased the magnificent Beast. I can honestly say this knife is well made and a lot of details covered. I am very glad I made this purchase. I like this knife so much I plan on buying a few in different colors and have already bought my son one.
This is my second knife I’ve purchased from TacKnives. The knife’s name Magnificent Beast, describes it perfectly. Detent, blade centering, jimping, deployment methods, all are money. As for the edge… it’s like a big folding scalpel. Scary sharp! Also, I’m impressed with TacKnives packaging. I received a nice rigid zipper pouch, some stickers, and a velcro patch. This knife is going in my pocket tomorrow morning, on my way to work. I can definitely recommend this knife to anyone interested in a full sized, hard use blade. Nice job, TacKnives.
This knife has excellent action on the deployments. It came screaming sharp, hair popping sharp. I enjoy the grippy and rock texture. It has excellent, smooth drop shut action. This is one of best knives I’ve bought this year. I just love it!
Great knife. Excellent quality.
This is everything you want from a knife at a budget knife price point! It’s beefy but feels fantastic in hand. Detent came perfectly tuned. Absolute slabs of G-10 and a gorgeous flat grind on that 14C28N! Fit and finish were money and even a Ti clip…come on! TAC Knives is doing it right!
