As always, before we get started, don’t forget to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Now let's get straight into the review!

The Packaging: A First Impression

The Halictus III comes in a well-designed box that immediately gives off an air of premium quality. The box features a sleek, understated design with clean, modern typography. Maxace's logo is proudly displayed on the front, showcasing the brand's commitment to high-end craftsmanship. When you flip the box over, you’ll find some more detailed information about the knife’s specifications and features, giving you a hint of what’s to come.

Opening the box reveals the knife nestled in a soft, protective foam insert, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition. Along with the knife, you’ll find some useful extras: a cleaning cloth to keep the blade spotless, a few Maxace-branded stickers to add some flair to your gear, and of course, the knife itself — which we'll talk about in just a moment.

First Impressions: A Knife That Feels Right at Home in Your Hand

The Halictus III is a statement piece in the world of high-performance EDC knives. Let's break down its features, starting with the handle material. Crafted from titanium with Zirmascus inlays, the handle has a smooth, solid feel that is both lightweight and durable. The Zirmascus inlays add a touch of elegance and refinement, making this knife feel like a true luxury item in your hand.

The lanyard hole adds some practicality, and while the pocket clip is included, it’s not reversible — something to consider for left-handed users. Still, the frame lock mechanism is buttery smooth and secure, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place when open.

Blade & Performance: Cutting Edge Technology

Now let’s talk about the Halictus III’s crowning glory: the blade. Made from Bohler M390 steel, the blade promises excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, which is perfect for both everyday tasks and more demanding cutting jobs. The drop point blade style offers versatility, making it a great all-around performer.

The blade features thumb studs for easy deployment, and the jimping on the spine of the blade provides added control when using the knife for precision tasks. The satin finish and flat grind give the blade a refined look and a performance edge, combining aesthetics with utility.

Size and Specs

Let’s get into the numbers. The Halictus III is perfectly sized for an everyday carry knife, with an overall length of 8.66 inches. The blade itself is 3.94 inches long, offering a good balance between portability and cutting power. The handle, with its titanium and Zirmascus construction, measures 4.72 inches, fitting comfortably in most hands for an excellent grip.

Variants and Availability

Currently, there are two different variants of the Halictus III, and both are available on our website as of this review's release. So, if you're interested in picking one up, make sure to head over and check out the options.

Final Thoughts

To wrap things up, the Maxace Halictus III is a top-tier knife that blends high-quality materials with thoughtful design. From the titanium and Zirmascus handle to the Bohler M390 steel blade, it’s clear that Maxace has created a knife that not only looks incredible but performs like a dream.
