Maxace Yu Review: A Closer Look at Maxace's Latest Blade

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another exciting Jimping with Jacrispy blog review. In today's blog review, we're diving into a brand-new knife from Maxace called the Maxace Yu. Before we get started, don’t forget to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way, let’s dive into this sleek blade.

The Box: Sleek & Simple

First impressions often begin with the packaging, and Maxace nails it again with the box design for the Maxace Yu. The box is a clean, minimalist design with a neutral color scheme that feels premium yet understated. The front of the box features Maxace’s bold logo in a stylish font, with a sleek and modern appearance. On the back, you’ll find basic product information and a few key specs to give you an idea of what’s inside.

When you open the box, you’re greeted with the knife, of course, but also with a few extra goodies. Inside, there’s a soft cleaning cloth for keeping your blade in top condition, as well as a couple of branded stickers. These little touches really elevate the unboxing experience and make you feel like you're getting a well-thought-out product.

Maxace Yu: The Knife

Now, let’s get to the star of the show—the Maxace Yu. As of the release of this video, there’s only one variant available. This variant comes with a gray titanium handle, which feels both sturdy and refined in hand. Titanium is always a premium material, and the finish on this one adds a nice touch of class to the overall look.

Design and Features

• Handle Material: Gray Titanium – Lightweight and durable, titanium adds a sleek, modern touch while ensuring the knife is tough enough to handle everyday tasks.
• Lanyard Hole: No lanyard hole on this one, so if you’re a fan of carrying your knife with a lanyard, that feature is absent here.
• Pocket Clip: Yes, this knife does come with a pocket clip, making it easy to carry around in your pocket. However, it’s not reversible, so it’s set for right-hand tip-up carry only.
• Lock Type: The Maxace Yu utilizes a framelock mechanism, ensuring solid lockup and a secure feel when you’re using the blade.

Blade Details

• Blade Steel: The Bohler M390 steel is an excellent choice for this knife. Known for its incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance, it’s perfect for those who need a high-performing blade that stands up to daily use.
• Blade Style: A drop point blade design offers a perfect balance between utility and aesthetics. It’s a great all-around shape, ideal for slicing, cutting, and more precise tasks.
• Thumb Studs: Yes, the Maxace Yu features thumb studs for easy one-handed opening, giving you smooth deployment with minimal effort.
• Jimping: There’s also jimping on the spine of the blade, giving you added control for those more detailed cuts or tasks that require precision.
• Blade Finish: The blade features a stonewashed finish, which gives it a rugged, well-worn look while also hiding fingerprints and scratches.
• Blade Grind: The blade has a flat grind, offering excellent cutting performance and a solid edge.

Specifications & Dimensions

Now, let’s go over the specifications and measurements of the Maxace Yu:

• Handle Length: 4.13 inches (105 mm)
• Blade Length: 2.95 inches (75 mm)
• Overall Length: 7.08 inches (180 mm)

This size makes it a compact and carry-friendly knife that’s still big enough for most daily tasks.
