Italian 4 max

Just received my Italian 4Max from Jimislash today and I am impressed. Fit and finish are perfect. Right up there with my CRK's and Hinderers. Blade grind is outstanding. Feels great in hand and carries very well in jeans or shorts for being a 6" handle and weighing ~10oz. Really love this knife and highly recommend it if you're looking for a true work horse. Begs to be used. My only knock on this one is that the lock is pretty stiff and needs to be broken in and it's not a free dropper....yet. I'm workin' on it. Again, huge but not too unruly like my full size marauder was. I'll post a pic in hand when I get back to my phone.

I have the Italian 4 Max as well and I love it. Fit and finish is what you'd expect from a $300 plus knife. I'd even call it midtech quality. Absolutely flawless.

Glad to hear you've got a good one. The 4th-5th run on the USA 4 Max's are really a step up. The one (of five) I decided to keep, is right up
there with Demko custom. Perfect blade and edge grinds. It falls shut, yet has no blade play and the action and lock are buttery smooth.
The G10 looks like it was hand sanded to match the Ti liners and the blade finish is close to mirror.

When the street price on the Italian 4 Max's drops and I've got the money, i'm getting one of those too. I can try to convince myself
otherwise, but I like the gray better

It's a shame they let some bad one's hit the market. It really tarnished the reputation of a great knife!
