Ti Pro-Tech Malibu - Small Details and Big Decisions
Published: 3 years ago
This was a tough one! I've spent a week studying this knife and deliberating over whether it would stick around. Let's take a close look at what makes this knife special, how it compares to the Aluminum version, and why I feel it ultimately (probably) won't stick around.
UPDATE: I've received a couple of questions about whether it's still here (or available), but sorry, it's already gone! If you think it'll be up your alley, definitely keep up the hunt -- I'm sure you'll love it! G'luck!
