Customer photo review of V3 (DLC Blackout)

The pictures really don't do this knife justice. You can immediately sense the quality of this knife when you pick it up. The attention to detail is incredible. The machine work and finishing of the entire knife are flawless. You can tell that this was the result of passion and quest for excellence. Especially impressed by the ricasso and choil, the jimping, and the balance is excellent. The DLC coating is fantastic, and looks almost CGI even as I hold it in my hand. One pleasant surprise is the sheath that came with the knife. Frequently, sheaths are an afterthought and rudimentary. This knife, however, ships with a well-planned and executed floating design that locks with the grips of the knife. Fantastic! I don't know why I waited so long to snag one of these beauties, but it will not be the last.

New paper shredder! This V3 is a work of ART, hands down the best knife I own to date. Have several fix blades and this one is by far the cleanest and best. Haven't left home without it since it arrived. Compliance Edge is for sure on top of the list.

Been following Compliance Edge knives for a while now and finally decided to purchase the V3NDETTA. Awesome knife, great attention to detail and just feels perfect in my hand. Razor shard right out the box.

This is my 3rd purchase from Compliance Edge and honestly this is the best knife I have received hands down. This is my permanent edc. Great quality with excellent customer service!

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (Tropic Thunder)

This is a great utility knife. I was skeptical about the blade shape, as I am a more traditional person for most EDC knives (clip point, drop point, Wharncliffe, etc), but the tanto shape is very useful. The blade is thin and tall, so it cuts very well. I appreciate the magnacut steel with high hardness; no complaints here. Very enjoyable knife! I carry the SVM the most, but this one gets the most actual cutting use. I sometimes carry in the pocket, but most often IWB lately (plastic clip or DCC clip), and it is a very easy knife to carry given the small size, but it is also big enough that you can get a strong grip and do anything with it. It is as capable as larger knives for sure.

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (Blackout)

I heard about Compliance Edge Knives from a fellow enthusiast, after admiring their Copperhead, and was initially keen to grab one of those. After signing up for the May drop, and checking out the full range, I instantly fell in love with the V3NDETTA and grabbed the 'Blackout' version as soon as the new batch dropped - and I couldn't be happier! It's one of the nicest blades I own, and Yoni's customer service was impeccable. Shipping to Australia was no problem, and he even got back to me quickly with some info on sharpening angles. Cannot recommend highly enough, and I can't wait for the chance to get another CEK blade!

I own multiple MKC’s, Schwarz, Dauntless, Stroup, Uinta, Terra, ESEE, knives and more. The V3 is probably my favorite out of all. I watched your most popular video and the time, effort, care, and pride put into your knives is unparalleled. Can’t wait for September. SVM and/or Henchman is next.

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (Stonewashed & Black)

Translated using Google. This knife is the best knife I have ever bought. Most of the time, I put away the knives I buy and don't use them, but I always keep this knife with me. Sadly, in Japan, you can't carry a knife when you go out, but I always keep it with me at home. The appearance shows Mr. Yoni's good taste. The v3ndetta has an artistic look, but it also has a perfect sharpness. I bought it in November and have been using it, and although the sharpness is not as good as it was at the beginning, it is still quite wonderful. I want to buy my next knife, but I can't afford it because of the weak yen, which is sad.... I want to buy an SVMR or a Henchman next. It's a difficult choice😵‍💫

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (Stonewashed & Black)

This will be a complicated review. Because I can only give it 3 stars yet I think it’s worth every penny. The knife itself is a work of art well crafted. Nothing was missed. Kydex is secure. My issue with the knife is that it’s more art than utilitarian. It’s without a doubt one of the top 3 knives aesthetically. And I’d buy it again. However the jimping is so refined that it feels smooth and more toy like than tool like. The grip is beautiful however doesn’t provide as much traction as I’d like. This is not a budget knife but as stated, it’s worth every penny as a collectors item. I was hoping to put it to work but It doesn’t inspire as much confidence in hand as I would have liked. Perhaps it’s my hand size and not the knife but a few of the features just don’t find my daily carry

A bit late on the review and I have to admit I got it from a resale for a 100 less, but I figured I owe you a review because I have an endless amount of love for this knife. Fit and finish. Size. Quality of materials. Design. Blade shape. Everything down to the cool little logo impresses me and makes what seems overpriced most definitely worth it. Thank you!

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (Woodland)

Took me two years to score one. And then I ran into a embargo on Russian steel here in EU and customs almost send it back (I know right 🤯) But with the help of Compliance Edge it all got solved and now she’s here in the Netherlands. And it was all worth it. What a beautiful blade this is 👌🏻 Can say enough how grateful I am for the help from Compliance Edge so thanks a million! And 5 stars 🌟 for sure!

Customer photo review of V3NDETTA (US Flag & Grey)

I love the lines of this blade. I have been wanting one for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. I don’t match my clothes but I do match my EDC and this pairs well with my AXG Legion 365. My only knock on it is the blade isn’t really as grey like it looks in the stock picture. Minor dets.

I’ve been looking around for a good quality knife for EDC and came across compliance edge on IG. I really like the V3NDETTA for the sleek design and the short handle which kinda fit my small built. Quality is top notch and feels really good in hand. I’m very happy with my purchase!

The best Knife I’ve ever bought! carries easy & feels like a quality piece of craftsmanship in your hand 👌🏽

V3NDETTA (Stonewashed & Black)

Arrived, unboxed, but haven’t had a chance to use or carry it yet (life in the way!). First impressions are that the fit and finish are superlative, feels great in the hand, really a well done piece. More to come!

V3 (Stonewashed & Black)

first time buyer. The knife is better than I hoped. Great size and like how its a little beefier than most small fixed blades. Fast shipping and great right out of the box. Will buy from again..Recommended!!

V3 (Stonewashed & Black)

Great blade. I’d call it my heavy use mini EDC. I have been carrying a mini speedgoat for years, really am enjoying the V3’s extra stoutness. Was worried it would be too “stubby”, it is not. Balanced nicely and feels great in the hand. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!

V3 (Stonewashed & Black)

Amazing quality and feel. Best kydex sheath on the market. Highly recommend

V3 (Black/OD/MCB)

Phenomenal quality and craftsmanship.

V3NDETTA (Blackout)

Just received the Vendetta in OD/MCB as a gift from my brother in law and I couldn’t be happier! It’s definitely a badass sharp knife and looks pretty versatile, so I can’t wait to put it to the test.

V3NDETTA (Black/OD/MCB)

Such an amazing knife. It’s study and feels good in your hand. Fits in compact spaces. Wonderful craftsmanship. Would highly recommend.

V3NDETTA (Stonewashed & Black)

The best experience. Owner was so kind and helped me get a knife for my husband. The knife has a very huge weight and it’s excellently crafted. Will purchase again!
