The ultratech is coming out soon with ti pocket clip, dual fuel system and zero blade play making it about a million times better than the livewire and forget Axial, the blade grinding and edge are sloppy (I returned mine)… I believe the current old Ultratech is better than both as it is let alone when it revolutionizes the OTF world in a month or so.

Great review! I agree with all the points you made, except I find the Microtech switch action too stiff, which is a personal preference. Thanks for including the link to my video in the description and, btw, I also posted another one specifically showing how much abuse the Livewire can take and how it functions in very adverse conditions.

Hate the glass breaker, personally. Also, I prefer the pocket clip on the Livewire. Overall, I prefer my Livewire over my Ultratech. Especially factoring in the huge price gap. I got my Livewire for sub $200. It’s an absolute steal

I bought an Ultratech and would have bought another but it was too stiff for my dad to use. He loves the spyderco i got him.

I have both and like the Livewire better the my Ultratech. Just got Axail Shift OTF Gen 3 MINT. I would like to see Axial vs Livewire. Micotech bad customer service, Kershaw will help you answer you ? and answer you on the phone. If you break the blade on Kershaw and if you used it the wrong way 25 bucks new blade. Glad I found this channel I just subscribed thank you for putting out good content. Great review

I got the livewire and it's by far the best knife I've ever bought.

[gigilaco]

There are a tanto livewire as well. Really great knife.

I have both of these in the same colors but my utx is the dual blade. They are fun knives. Great review.

I collect OTF's but prefer a side opening automatics for EDC. The Livewire with the Ultem transparent side is pretty cool but I like the different blade options on the Ultratechs.

Microtech's customer service is awesome. I send my in for sharpening often. On time I broken the tip off my troodon hell hound and they took it in and reprofiled the tip. It was rhe same look but it looked great. Highly recommend them. No worries about their customer service 10/10

[DavidV]

Not even close, the Ultratech is the better knife and the revised one will surpass that.

[dannybens]

We r paying for the blade the function

Your review is to the point and comprehensive. Good job. But please, don't move your gloved hands around excessively as it's somewhat distracting.
