Thank you! Always a fan of Elijah Isham's designs 🔪🔥

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! My Glykon has been very smooth. Of course, the side switch is not the greatest for deployment, but it can be done and does not have any rough feeling. It is running some sort of intermediary drive train between the old gen and the dual fuel stuff which makes it easier to actuate and feel a bit smoother than my older gen ultratech for sure.

@ Thanks for the feedback. I may have to give the Glykon another shot then.Mine was one of the first Glykons released and the action was stiff AF or it was just me 😂

Of course! Thank you for asking. If that does not work, the dual fuel drive train models are a lot less stiff but have the downside of a bit longer pull length

I am going to give the Glykon another shot. I just ordered the Outbreak 🙌 Not sure if I would dig the longer pull length of the new duel fuel drive train mechanism anyways but it is an option for easier action.

Great, I hope it works out well!

I am not sure what you mean?

@ I wanted to resharpen my knife, I have the same GTX-025. I couldn’t find anywhere online at what angle the knife gets sharpened to from the factory. But I ended up sharpening the blade at a 22 Degree angle, and I can shave hair with it now.

Great! I will have to reprofile my edge as well when I sharpen mine...

Microtech is known for having a thinner coating than say Spyderco and is more similar to Benchmade. With decent carry for a month or so, there is one "mark" on it (not huge, just a bit lighter than the rest). I honestly cant complain and it might have been me hitting a staple which caused that. If you are really worried about the coating wearing off, go with apocalyptic. I have carried my Glykon with that finish and it hides wear very well! If you want the best wear hider, the normal stone washed finish will be the best.

@ Are all the black microtech blades DLC? Or is this yet another finish. If not dlc, what is it?

Most coatings that Microtech uses are PVD, but there are DLC models, mostly the Shadow variants.

Yes, it is a bit bunky compared to modern, but still a fantastic tool which I have enjoyed!

Also, to be fair my Civivi baby banter and full banter are in the rotation as well

Yes, it is a good user! I love my Tenacious as well (my first Spyderco too), but I haven't acquired as much of a Spyderco collection yet!!

Yes, I totally agree. I just think for the price, there could be some better materials and/or build quality for a knife made in China

Yes! I had to do a lot of research to make sure I was saying it correctly!! I hope you enjoyed the review!

Cool! How are they? I have not tried any of Microtech's serrated blades, but I have heard great things!

Yes, the blade shape was one of the things that tipped me over to getting it!

Great! I really hope and think you will enjoy it! I have continued to carry mine and still absolutely love it!!

Yes, while I have only experienced two, the Scarab is my favorite as well!

Indeed! While the ebony/brass ones are a little outdated, they are still definitely classics.

Thank you! Lynch Northwest makes great products all around, I highly recommend them!!

It definately has that charm of older knives. I still really enjoy it as I pretty much always have a traditional knife of some sort on me as well!

Great! Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoy!!

Ok, thank you for the info! I do not know a whole lot about Hinderer, so that is much appreciated!

Great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Thanks for the info on the clever, I had no idea! I hope you enjoyed the video!!

Thanks! It is just as fidgety!!

Great! I agree he will love it!

Great! Even with our slight issues with the knife overall, still very recommendable!

Great!! I had the same feeling, hope you continue to enjoy it! What colorway did you get?

Yeah, BM's heat treat on Magnacut is not great (around 60-62 hrc) in terms of edge retention of it prioritizing toughness. I can confirm the Cru-Wear is much better in the edge retention respect. Factory up-and-down play is somewhat normal for Axis-style locks, so I would not be concerned about it. Side-to-side play should go away with a tiny turn of the pivot! Still, we hope you enjoyed the video!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching! When watching reviews before I purchased, I heard this a few times as well, but honestly, I might even have a slight preference for how the Gen 2 is milled due to the lock bar having a more consistent spacing with the rest of the back scale (for a lack of a better term, the "outline" of the lock bar). It serves no functional difference though, really it is up to you whether you want a very thin "outline" that gets thicker at the lock interface or a consistent "outline" which is just a thicker outline around the lockbar as a whole. For reference, it is slightly wider than a Sebenza 31 and I have not noticed it in use.

@ thanks so much for your reply, I think I am ready now… :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I hope it was helpful.

Agreed!! 🍂🦃

Thank you, we really appreciate it!

Of course, thank you for your support!! Thank you so much, it means a lot!! We have been enjoying it a lot and do not plan to stop! Excited to hear from you more!!🍻

Thank you!! No, I have not but I am not sure how you can manage it? For me, there is nothing protruding for a front flip to be possible (like how you can front flip a sebenza), did you modify yours?

Thank you!! I actually just got the Ozark a couple of days ago (for a similar purpose), so I think I will have to do that! Thanks for the idea! 😂

Thank you! I would say go for whichever you like the look of most, but the sheepsfoot has a bit more utility in my opinion.

Thank you!!

That's awesome! Glad you enjoy the mikro as well!

Which one you like better and which blade shape?

I've only tried the Mikro, so I can't really speak to Mikro vs. Makro, but the Mikro 2 with the sheepsfoot blade shape has a bit more utility than the Mikro 1 with the drop point shape.

Agreed, it is a fantastic little knife. There was a sale on it at BHQ a couple of weeks ago, it is possible other retailers will do the same!

Yes! To my knowledge, any Kershaw with an American flag is.

Thank you! Agreed, I have been really enjoying it as well! Looking forward to hearing more from you!!

Agreed! I was pleasantly surprised when I got it.

Indeed! I am sorry to hear that, hopefully you get around to that soon!

Thanks for checking out this and all of the other videos! 🔪

That is completely my fault, you are correct, it does run on phosphor bronze washers. That is interesting and good to hear about the lockup and play. I ran into the same issue with the pocket clip and now cannot remove it as the screw stripped; another benefit of larger fasteners.

Thanks!

Since prices can vary among retailers because of sales and availability, we don't feel that it is best to provide links. This is a model that is available at most of the main retailers (BHQ, Knife Center, DLT Trading, etc.), so if you want to get it, pick your favorite retailer, whatever you have the most rewards points at, or whoever has a sale.

Totally agree, if you're not in love, it's not worth it, an equally priced ProTech will probably be more convenient.

Thanks!
