3:22 tbh I think that's actually good, better for safety when in the pocket. I might get one of these but I'm split between blue, black or green.

Thanks for explaining the sharpness on a double edge! I was about to get the hones out!

[DONK]

The price comes from: American made, in house construction, tight tolerances, strict quality control. If you're gonna edc one, a single edge is good for slicing, a double edge with half serrations is versitile.

You might want to strop that blade, it will bring the razor edge back. I have the same knife in OD green with a DLC black double edge. When mine gets a little sticky through paper or cardboard I just strop it on a leather strop and the edge comes right back. That is the beauty of M390 steel.

Other than MT being the benchmark of OTF quality,
(I don’t even own one YET)
What I’ve discovered that IMO, the D/A OTF design is in many ways the most “handy” pocket knife out there.
Here’s the main reason why.
The ability to get the knife out of your pocket, opened, used, closed and back in your pocket SAFELY one handed.
(Picture being on a ladder installing a new ceiling fan, stripping a wire and then wrapping the wires together with electrical tape, as an example)👍🏻

The double edge is meant to be a dagger and pierce. It's not as slicy as something meant specifically to cut. Thanks for the video.

[peterzachar]

it is not bad EDC knife, it's very small, light, reliable, BUT it is dull, especially in dagger version, tip is very vulnerable, it is expensive, release mechanism takes a lot of strenght to open and even more to close...
You can get e.g Boker Lhotak Eagle for 1/6 of Microtech price, it is the same weight and size, and release mechanism is much better

[andrashavas]

All that has been said is true for other OTF-s of the middle range also. The message for the main difference of Microtech vs the competition has not come across...

[Yeoldepimpe]

Been on the fence did my research you had me at 53 seconds sold I’m buying one tomorrow. But now let’s stop talking about them they will end up like a Kershaw

I’m in Canada how do I get the combat troodon?

[jasonriccoboni]

To each their own. Those who feel you can't EDC a double edge, MT makes many variations of each one of their knives. They even have different sizes like the UTX-85...my personal favorite. I will say though, that the one thing I have noticed and don't like about the MT OTF's, is the lack of ability to close them when holding them upside down. I would have to guess that this is due to the spring strength vs. blade weight.

[nathanwoj]

I use mine strictly for paper poking 😂😂. Jk. But that was funny.

[justapatrolman]

Also in Louisiana. See you around! I’ll likely have a Microtech on me

[andresimmons]

He'll nah it ain't worth it I have bought 40$ OTF knives and for the what it's worth as long as the knife does what it's intended to do

[aetonshirdlu]

It's not full tang it's going to break.

[TheMeatwade]

My complaint with my Ultratech Sith Lord edition is i have a very hard time closing it. I have to use my pointer finger to close it. Honestly ridiculous how difficult it is to open and close for close to $400. Makes me not want another Microtech.

[karlschmidt]

Meh… cheesey outfit. Their website and outdated dealer directory is a joke.

[malignustotalis]

The only right you have in California is the right to be a victim. And pray to God that you do not bleed on the shoes of the victimizer because if you do, he may sue you as well.😂🎉

[rickledford]

The knife was not worth it a year ago. And the knife would definitely not be worth it now.
