    Microtech takes care of military and first responders so much respect for them🫡. Bought my first a few days ago and WILL buy more. I’m loyal to companies that support the military!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    EDCandLace:
    Out of the stitch and msi I had and sold the following day because of both having HRCs in the 58s and sharpening about 50 of them in the last 3 months... they are SOFT, it's soft enough that it is noticeably gummy on the stones. Plus the action on both of them is mushy as hell. I received both of mine in the same day, had them poked later that day and sold the next morning lol. If you buy a knife to use and expect serviceable edge retention then you will not be happy.

    I love, i really love Microtech knives, and a have 2 ultratech (123-16CFS and 121-1DLCTULS) and both of them have so many issues. So many asymmetric parts and inscriptions (on clips). I love the idea and reliability of this knives, but want to ask quality control to pay a little more attention to this moments.
    And one of constructive element are really bother me: stop pin into the blade are crash a front edge of a "rail" in the chassis, so upper front leg strike top cover (in my case it made cracks in carbon top 123-16CFS, and i afraid for ultem top in low temperatures). Besides, crashed chassis are made marks on blade. Longer stop pin may fix that. For my knives, that i already have, i really don't know what to do to repair it and make it live longer.

    Man i can't help but change my feelings and view on Tony and his company! I've been so rubbed the wrong way wanting this new MSI knife. Just don't get why a $250 production knife is being released like a custom hand made rare piece. As many knives as they make and the microtech name, I have this notion they could just make enough that your average consumer could buy. I understand they will eventually be dropped to the masses. But man it's frustrating. He is such a model of the American dream! I'm a fan! But Tony, please take my money I want to buy your product!!
