Maxace Capsule Knife Review: A Compact EDC with Style and Performance

Welcome back to another Jimping with Jacrispy review! In today’s review, we’re taking a look at the Maxace Capsule, a compact but striking EDC knife that’s packed with premium materials and thoughtful design. Whether you’re a seasoned knife enthusiast or a casual user, the Maxace Capsule might just pique your interest. Let’s dive right in.

Unboxing the Maxace Capsule

The Maxace Capsule comes in a sleek and sturdy box, which includes a few nice extras: a cleaning cloth, a sticker, and even a band-aid (just in case you get a little too excited about your new blade!). It’s always nice to see brands add small touches like this that enhance the unboxing experience, and Maxace doesn’t disappoint here.

Currently, the Capsule is available in two eye-catching versions:

1. Red & White Titanium
2. Purple & Green Titanium (the version we have for review)

Both are priced at $228, making the Capsule a bit of a premium purchase, but it seems justified given the quality of materials and craftsmanship.

Design and Build Quality

Let’s talk about the handle first. The Maxace Capsule features a handle made from TC4 titanium, coated with Cerakote, which gives it a stunning purple and green finish. The Cerakote is not just for looks, though—it also enhances the titanium’s resistance to corrosion, heat, and water, making the Capsule a durable and practical choice for everyday carry.

On the back, you’ll find a black pocket clip with the Maxace logo, which provides a secure carry option. The clip is sturdy and blends well with the overall design without being too obtrusive.

Blade Details

Now let’s get to the business end—the blade. The Capsule features a Bohler M390 steel blade, a top-tier choice for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall strength. The blade has a drop point style, which is both versatile and practical for everyday tasks, whether you're slicing, piercing, or cutting.

What stands out is the jimping on the spine of the blade. It's not overdone, but it’s enough to provide solid grip and control during use. Another neat design choice is the flipper tab located near the jimping, which serves as the primary opening mechanism. This is different from many knives that feature a back flipper, and the result is smooth and reliable deployment.

Specifications

For those who love the numbers, here are the specs for the Maxace Capsule:

• Handle Length: 3.62 inches (92mm)
• Blade Length: 2.67 inches (68mm)
• Overall Length: 6.29 inches (160mm)
• Weight: 4.7 ounces (133g)

The Capsule is compact and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry, especially for those who prefer a smaller knife that doesn’t take up too much pocket real estate.

Final Thoughts

At $228 on our website, the Maxace Capsule is certainly a premium knife, but it offers a lot of value in return. The combination of high-end materials like Bohler M390 steel and TC4 titanium, along with thoughtful design features like the Cerakote coating and jimping on the blade, makes this a standout option in the world of EDC knives. Whether you’re a collector or just looking for a reliable everyday carry knife that’s also a conversation starter, the Capsule has you covered.

Pros:

• Beautiful titanium handle with Cerakote coating
• Premium Bohler M390 steel blade
• Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry
• Thoughtful design features (jimping, flipper tab)

Cons:

• Price may be a bit high for some
• Blade length may be too short for certain tasks

All in all, the Maxace Capsule is a stylish, high-performing EDC knife that combines premium materials with solid craftsmanship. If you’re in the market for a quality knife that looks as good as it performs, this is definitely one to consider.
