The Microtech knife presentations always go deep into details and philosophy. Great stuff.
Their m390 is 57rc
@@johnnysilverhand1733 yeah its sad its so bad. Its funny people spend that much on soft stuff.
Into what details? Tony is a poser now. Useless chattering about nothing - all he's capable of right now. And that bullshitt with dealers and Axial Gear company.
I was badly wanting microtech otf, earlier, but now, after reading all that crap about tony and his company - no thanks, will never purchase any of Microtech products in my life.
Waste of money.
Sold me. Hera mini here i come.
Edit, I own it now and it's fantastic! Small but not too small. Love the bayonet point.
Awesome company and an excellently hosted showcase! 👍🏻🔥
Not awesome. Soft m390. Low value high price
Love this guy. Thanks for listening to customer feedback! Thats amazing and something more companies need to make a priority.
The sans hardware Hera and Cypher look dope! Looking forward to my Socom Bravo mini showing up this week! We need more “mini” manual models for EDC!
The LUDT, the Socom Elite, and the Anax will always be my favorite Microtech knives.
Microtech are soft. M390 57-59rc.
Halo!!! Bring it back
and nemesis, combat talon
I have a Mini Socom from 1998 and I could definitely use and upgraded model, new LUDT is also on this list still some of the best knives I've used well done.
Microtech gets a tip of the hat, they are one of the very few companies giving the consumer an upgrade and new products at the same great price points. Not gouging the pockets of consumers like the trash Benchmade is putting out.
$600-$800 for a Combat Troodon feels like pocket gouging to me... That's the cost of a budget AR or a nice striker fired pistol.
Really…Benchmade has several new models from $250-$350 of great quality…Microtech??? Most of the Microtech lineup is north of $400…many over $500…seems like gouging to me!
Great price points? Um…… 👀
@@theKashConnoisseurCombat Troodons have been 550$ + for a while now. Until they just released this new gen III version. They’re about 400$ for the newest and updated gen III’s. Pretty cool to see them change and improve them while also dropping the prices. I think that’s what the original commenter was referencing.
Kershaw livewire is better at 240 dollars. That's about half the price of a comparable microtech.
Tony is pure genius! Unbelievably talented designer! Probably the best...
Still proudly own my first Ultratech. It was definitely not my last Microtech knife.
I just ordered a ludt Gen 3 can't wait for it to come in. Plan on getting a few more microtechs great quality knives
Where did you find LUDT gen 3?
57rc m390 is not quality or high quality.
These are some really interesting new things. I definitely will be getting a ludt 3, and an amphibian
What's the ETA and blade length on the Hera mini? Not seeing it in coming soon yet.
FIVE NEW RAM LOK KNIVES! WOW!
I've lived in Asheville for 16 years & grew up in Boone NC where Winkler knives is located....How about a Western NC-Winkler/Microtech collaboration!!!! Never in a million multiverses would this happen, but the designs I imagine for it in my head are badass!
I got my father in law a winkler knife for Christmas! They are amazing!
How about Krambit Microtech auto. Do they still make it or they dropped it. No more in anyone's stock. And with Magnacut please.
I’m gonna start saying “a hundred percent” every time my boss or coworkers say anything! 😂 I want that Hera Mini!
Any idea when the new Combat Troodon gen 3 will be in stock? I'm looking for the Serrated dagger version.
Ram-Lok Socom sounds interesting but I'm worried that would screw up the signature Socom action and snappiness.
Gen3 CT hasn't left my pocket since the day I got it a week ago. 🔥
Cool. So you’ve used it for 7 days. Sweet.
Carried but not used yet 😆
Nice, how was the factory edge?
@@peytonkellar4621 decent, but not the same level as the factory edges on the SOCOM Elites I have.
@@robertm8401 oh yeah,their otf sharpness and their socom and other folders edges are not even close
Microtech is absolutely crushing it - they have become my favorite knives by far!
Nice, deep dive
Tony, my man, your products are the best on the market. I know you listen to your customers, so if you bring back a Halo production model I will be a Microtech fan for life! Ideally at a lower price (like you did with the newest models) but I would be happy regardless.
Also, I will be a Microtech fan for life regardless… but your fans want a Halo! As the kids say, shut up and take my money!
tony is awesome im buying a knife for sure.
Where can I purchase that red mat?
Does that mean they won't be making any more utx 70 or 85 because of the new Hera mini?
On the balde of the LUDT next Gen presented few weeks ago on the Microtech YT channel, there is only the eagle's claw as logo (it's minimaltistic and beautiful, in the mood of the time). Does there is this or the classic writing logo ?
I’d love for them bring back a mini socom elite
He had a perfect opportunity to talk about their soft heat treatment on their M390k and their lock failure problems with the MSI. Could have told us they were correcting those problems and build back some confidence in these models and he didn’t say zip. I really like the Ram-like but not gonna spend money on them until they address their problems and let us know they are working on fixing them.
I mean do you regularly beat the hell out of the spine of your knife on a tree stump?
In that same vein, I have admired Microtech's designs and had a few of their blades pass through my possession over the years, but their general attitude towards the customer always convinces me to sell them off. I've had two seperate poor customer service experiences with them, and Tony, while brilliant, has a smarmy attitude at every event I've met him at. For what Microtechs cost, I should be confident that they will take care of me, and I'm not, so while alot of what they do is cool, I won't be buying another.
@@Cyanoblades not regularly but I fail to see your point.
@@Cyanobladesthats not the point at all. These are marketed and priced as hard use knifes. For what they cost, there should be no problems. If there are problems, they need to be transparent about it and what they intend to do to fix the design and service existing owners. But they won't, because they want to publicly pretend the problem doesnt exist so as to keep the customer in the dark not knowing, so they don't initiate an RMA.
@@SurlyYerby exactly. And I’ve seen it fail lock tests that weren’t even considered hard whacks. Also, the heat treat is very bad for m390. They should take ownership of it it as a company and correct the issues.
YES!!! 5 MORE RAM-LOK FOLDERS!!! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Anyone know if the mini Hera will still come in S/E? Can’t stand dual edge especially on a little knife
Nice
Just got my Glykon. Next will be a Scarab 3 or Ultratec DE. Hmm both right? Haha
Need more CF + DLC Stitches and Amphibians in 2024!
Did the Hera get a SE tanto yet?
A MSI in magnacut would be my next purchase
If it was 63-64rc. But they would use 59rc magnacut.
SIDE SLIDE BUTTON IS SCARY FOR POCKET.
They need to make some smaller EDC'able RAM-LOK knives. I love the MSI but it's a pocket sword.
Yeah, I'm hoping there'll be MSI-85s & 70s at some point 🥺
Agreed more “mini” manual models for EDC! Happy about the Socom Bravo mini release and have one in route. The size is great, not too small at all at 7.75” overall and will be much more practical to carry and use daily than my Socom bravo or Elite which are badass and the Bravo is beautiful but like 6 oz and Socoms are 9” overall. I love big blades and all but it would be nice to see more variations around the 8” overall size and ideally 3.5-4.5 oz range. Hoping for a USA made Elite mini comeback also!
Love all of this! But Faaaahhhhh still no mini socom🫠
I’m not worried about warranty parts per se; what’s really gonna break besides springs? Having said that, on my original scarab, a spring had failed. I managed to repair it despite the proprietary fasteners. Couple years later I had another failure and decided to send it in. It was gone for a solid month for just a cleaning. I’d requested they change the springs, noting one was already repaired. I wish MT had taken the time to change my springs, esp considering I’ve so many of their knives and they know it. I love MT OTF’s, but still disappointed they didn’t bother to make my knife 100% with new springs. Oh, shit. I just remembered my socom auto! They flat out refused to replace the broken spring because according to them the lifetime of the product was reached. I bought a decent substitute.
Shoot; what was I saying about springs?
I should also say I’ve bought plenty more after these two episodes. So take my nonsense with a grain of salt! Gen 3 fires hard but so easy. I MISS the groove on the spine though(scarab 2).
Mini Socom RAM-LOK do it Tony!
My 2024 Dirac Delta is outstanding!
Need a Hera 2 in a warhound blade
Ive always prefered the Hellhound but Warhound is my second favorite custom Marfione blade shape.
Will the scarab 2 ever use magnacut?
Did he really just introduce the great Marfione that casually??
Oh wow how the fk did I miss this. They didn't promote the hera mini... just troodon, ludt, hera 2 and cypher. Then I did see the socom mini and matrix on round 2. Only one I could get was the cypher.
Damn he seems like a sick dude
i swear to god if i see a socom with the ram lock i might cry (plz take my money).
Did you ask about the failures of the axis like lock?
Like the idiot that slammed the MSI blade into his hand spine whacking the shit out it?
Mini socom for the win lol can't wait.
Also my EDC has been MSI OD green plain edge since released. Haven't altered one bit oddly enough. @microtech
A-hundred-percent 💯%
Why the cutouts in the blades? A place to collect junk and carry back into handle. Also the deep clip design. Why not to top?
speed holes like a gas station knife.
"Tell us about the dual-fuel".
Proceeds to talk about Corvettes.
Mega Cool Mini Hera How long is the Blade And Overall
Like every car guy would say you ALWAYS modify first and fix later
Why does everyone hate on these knives? Is it the price point?
I can't say i'm a fan, i bought a utx 70, soon it started stiffening up the action. I cleaned and oiled following the given procedure, was better for few time then becoming unusable again. I got missfires, to the point where i would need to keep it tip down to let gravity help to be consistent enough in the opening. It was just sad to spend those money to get those problem when for half the price i got a pm3 and it's a joy to operate. I think the fact is sold as "tactical" is a bit off too, the glass breaker drives me mad, cos when i used it, the rebound from the glass made the blade exit from the front a few mm cutting my palm, and the knife cannot be used to hit in a self defense scenario cos the glass breaker diggs in the palm of the user. I think the bigger models should be better but the utx 70 is not a good product to me, it feels like they scaled down the measures but the phisical properties of the components doesnt work the same in a smaller mechanism... heard people getting stiffen action from the exocet too, mini troadon seems fine. U can find other people with the same claims, and for the ppl saying that a strong thumb should help i can say i do have enough, going back i would have got a guardian tactical instead.
Price point, lock/mechanism failures (which shouldn't happen given the cost), soft heat treatment on some steel, and there's rumors they are pressuring retails to not sell competitors' knives.
I never said I hated these knives, take a breath, chill out and NEVER like your own comments
Because Microtech’s have terrible action and a number of models look like gas station knives.
I am not a knife guy, but I did buy the Microtech OTF UTX-85, but I carry the Kershaw because it is sharp and I can do more with it.
Smart man
Livewire is the way to go!
How many times does Tony say "You know" during this?
Easy to “dominate the OTF market” when you pressure retailers to not carry a small competitor like Axial.
Axial doesn’t even have a single knife for sale on their own … USA website. Sad 😞. Microtech for the win IG
😭
@@Dabaroo probably hard to ramp up production when your sales channels are closed out 🤷🏽♂️
I agree. I tell my friends never buy Microtech anymore.
Microtech been at it for decades and Axial will 𝙉𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍 be on par with them. I do like my Axial OTF however as well as my Microtech's.
D.O.C RAM LAWK
If only their QC practices were as streamlined as Tony’s presentation. Opening up a brand new Glock priced knife only to find loose switches and deformed pocket clips is unbecoming of his stated philosophy. If MT truly cared so deeply about customers, they wouldn’t fist them with obscene pricing on their tools for the proprietary fasteners. Love my MT knives however, Guardian Tactical’s mechanism is still smoother than MTs and the Kershaw Livewire offers far superior value with its duel springs and magnacut blades.
Good info here
Thanks! I will for sure stay off of Microtechs now.
They don't worth it and Tony is just spoiled richass oldboy.
A hundred percent
Waiting for mini socom...
He reminds me of John Lovell
Anyone that is interested in a D/A OTF should buy a cheap one also. Learn how to work on the cheap one before you go at the better one. I love my Microtechs and I love Blade HQ.
Give me a ludt in a ram lock
Microtech listens to feedback huh?..... Well where's my new Halo Tony? Been waiting for years!
TONY 🐐🐐🐐‼️🫡
100% 👍
Too expensive. Got a counterfeit OTF knockoff of some fancy brand 2 years ago for $45, still going strong as my EDC. Can replace every part in it, can swap blades, change the scales. Paying these premium prices is crazy.
Blade hq needs a new host.
Definitely my least favorite of all the hosts over the years
Come on guys, George does a decent job. The turnover rate is ridiculous at BHQ.
Give George a break, working on camera is NOT EASY. It's easy to complain and cry about something so why don't you go talk to BHQ and you get up there and fill his shoes? He's such a bad host? Fix it! Their turn over rate is high so you should have no problem getting on the show! Remember He's an hourly employee that's filling his job role while also doing the content.... like I said instead of complaining why don't you go do it and give us that great host we have been craving!
They need a hot female host.
@@DasAtomstein thats what I’m talking about!
Are all of these over $300 too?
I really wish they’d get a new button. I’m sick of getting my thumb chewed up by my microtechs.
Magnacut 2024
Release some new models so i can finally snag a dlc carbon ram-lock stitch
wait till they fix the lock
@@Mr-kn6uk my 10/23 made MSI is solid.
@@Mr-kn6uksame as 07 said. I have the black bladed FRN MSI with born on date of 11/2023. Gave it some decent spine whacks and it was solid as a rock
MT has updated the Ram locks. The mechanism is longer now to engage more material along the blade tang.
@@jeremydoucette6352 Cheers mate! Im keen as for the stitch but a lot of reviews have stopped me. Do you know what date ish it was when they fixed the lock? Have you had any probs with the HRC?
Cheers Cobber
All the best from Western Australia!!
Or as we say, all the best from Shamesville!!
Blade HQ
So FOS, I thought I was watching a politician!
I had some pocket lint render a MT OTF completely useless one time, was the last time. Maybe woulda happened to any OTF but it didn’t, it happened to my expensive MT. Overrated, I would rather get one from his son over at Heretic knives. However is see they are making these a little more serviceable since they know that a tiny bit of debris or lint will make it useless. I don’t rely on any OTF alone anymore.. Hard to beat a good auto but can never replace a good lock blade or fixed blade.
Hera II or cypher II please someone help a brother out
I have 2 microtech ultratechs, and one of them has a trigger no where near as smooth as the ones in this video. Stiff as hell. Im wondering if i should send it in to have the spring loosened.
The prices are too high.
How much rattling noise do these new MiceoTechs make, versus a Hawk Deadlock?
Respectfully dude deadlocks are the only production otf ever made with no blade play, you could expect atleast a little from any other knife no matter the quality
Well theres the SOG Pentagon but otherwise all OTFs have a little play by design and the pentagon is a far cry from Deadlock overall quality.
@jkstdstang I didn't actually know the pentagon didn't have play
They have more blade play and rattle than the previous generation ones did. I was surprised when I picked up the new scarab gen 3. I might pass on any more unless they figure out how to make it better than the ones before it and not just look better 😮
Marfione.. humble? Lmao
Love microteh, not a huge fan of blade HQ.
If you're so confident of your product, why do you pressure knife retailers not to sell a competitor's (Axial Knives)?
I heard Microtech runs there metals soft.
The torx screws make them look like a fake microtech
I prefer the tri wings but still cool.
They have some cool new products I would be interested in buying but I still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth from their crappy customer service.
aka: “Chinese copies made everyone realize we’re nothing special when 12 year olds in dungeons with power tools can come 99.9% close to our $600+ product for $50.” 🙂
😂😂 i always laugh at dudes who carry such an expensive knife, as a defense specific tool.
If you ever have to use it to defend yourself, it will end up in an evidence locker, and there goes all that money.
You can pay $20 for a Ccanku neck knife, or $40 for a cold steel boot knife, and do way better. And not feel the waste of money later when it saves you.
Can we please get a halo 😇
Knockoff gas station OTF’s ruined the OTF market.
Too bad their QC is trash and as a unlucky owner of a Glykon with a rattling slide button that lives outside of the US I have to either accept a rattling piece of crap knife in a 500$ price point or spend another 100 or so to get it sent for a repair that I have no guarantee of. Last time I've purchased a Microtech for sure. Disappointing.
Same here! I was considering to buy Microtech otf, but reading such a bad things about it's products, QC and especially about unfair marketing policy turned me off of ordering one. And now, after I've red about Axial, I will never purchase Microtech.
Tony is a richass chuff for me now.
And I let all my mates and friends know it!
Glory to Ukraine!
I had to stop the video, his incessant not stop verbal diarrhoea was doing my head in, imagine being his missus and having to listen to him all day and night 😂
Love everything but that dumbass comment about their proprietary screws. Torx has been industry standard for over 2 decades
I lol'd when he said their proprietary hardware wasn't because they wanted to keep people from self servicing their knives. Marfione is so full of shit.
Film the knives when he holds it up I don't care for looking at u
at-tributes not uh-tributes
I love their knives but the self congratulation at the end is pretty tiresome-esp when their level of innovation at this point is p much in line with everyone else in the industry at the moment, ie, Take a popular model and make it bigger/smaller, maybe add a new colorway and magnacut if possible. (Or torx screws-WOWWWW) It’s like Spyderco but with more ninja energy
Tony is such a bullshitter I've seen so many times where people have sent things in for warranty work. And they don't have parts or are unable to fix And the best thing that they offer when they can't fulfill their lifetime warranty Is offer you a discount on a new knife
That's why I will stay out of Microtech products!
Did anyone catch the Cypher failing when he tried to close it?! Hahaha
He knocked it off track to showcase how the internals are maintained. It was done purposefully
