Microtech Ultratech: Field Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2012
- An Air Force aircrew member takes the Microtech Ultratech into the back country to see how it would perform if his plane went down. Out-the-front knives are pretty hip and cool. We wanted to know if they're hip, cool AND functional for someone on the job in the military. Jaime was going to film himself using the knife during a recent tour in Afghanistan, but for security reasons, he wasn't able to. Instead, we headed into the Utah backcountry to see how the knife performed.

Watching OTF videos saying to myself no way I’d ever spend that much on an Ultratech. Handled one in person. Bought it. Damn you American quality. I can’t resist.
I did same thing but got my utx85 dull AF yesterday. Very disappointing.
@@Carl6801force send it in, they do free sharpening
I know😂 I feel you I just bought the green standard
Me too! Can’t wait until it’s here. Ordered it yesterday.
@@jimmy86gti it’s awesome I love it
It's awesome how they venture all the way into the great wilderness to cut a seat belt, break a jar with the lid on it and stick a piece of plywood.. that's some serious adventure and testing
Just wanna say that those detents are really made for tempered glass. I work at a glass shop and regular glass can be broken by anything but tempered is actually hard to break. That detent punctures the surface and it shatters into like a million pieces. Keep up the good work tho guys
Glazier?
@@jonathanaldana4941 yes sir👍 you?
Lambouknow yes I am
It was I was thinking the same exact thing and then I saw your comment lol
@@jonathanaldana4941 lol we should know enough im sure you have chunks of flesh missing same as me. 😂
Lambouknow lol ah bro I cut two tendons, had half inch tempered pop on me
battoning with a ultra tech hurts my brain

Hey, it's a good test.
I felt each hit in my balls
Yes. I totally flinched. He needs to get a camilus for that crap..... Who the hell puts themselves in a survival situation with an otf. Its more at home in SE LA and not in NE BFE.
Glad I’m not the only one who cringed
These knives are made for piercing flesh/self defence. Buy a cheaper, sturdy, non-mechanical knife if you want a reliable survival knife. Who buys a $400 mechanical knife for camping/outdoor survival? I do understand that this is an emergency situation scenario, so i get the point they're trying to make.
Hold on let me go cut down a tree with my edc microtech pocket knife
@kawika dav sick
hahaha Yeah, this testing reminds me of the extreme tests that have been done on Glocks, like dropping them out of a plane. Well, nice to know it'll handle that, I guess!
Advice, throw some leather gloves on next time you try breaking glass like that. Almost sliced your hand in half
Ben Barth LOL this is such typical aircrew. They normally would have flame resistant gloves on. Also he tried to break through a mason jar, those things are tempered, that's why he had an issue. And any aircrewmen should have a small go bag, with a fixed blade. Batoning a $300 microtech? This guy lol. God bless and thanks for your service.
I was holding my breath waiting for him to slice a finger in half.
That would've probably been a really dangerous cut too. Most certainly would've need stitches and an ER visit. Honestly, if that shit sliced his wrist open with the amount of force he was using, he might've severed an artery.
Ben Barth kevlar
Alex Marchica by the way it broke I really don't think that was tempered it just broke off in one big piece. You may be right though just my perspective:)
You almost filleted your hand with that glass jar
I am going to guess your good friend Ben gave you a new one...
great vid! i love watching the field test knife reviews just to see how these knifes ACTUALLY hold up in real situations!
Batoning with a fucking microtech otf holy shit hahaha
Great video!!! I've been wanting a Microtech but I was concerned about the locking mechanism's strength in regards to thrusting but this video shows that the Microtech is well made!
the best thing when an otf fails is that the blade doesnt close on your fingers! it just goes back in the handle.
Thank you for the test. Especially the stabbing in the board. I was wondering if my ultratech would hold up to that much force.
Every time he battoned on that blade, it felt like a midget was punching me in my nads. Great test, thanks for testing the limits so us average joes don't have too with our money. Ima working man.. to have this knife ill have to sacrifice a good bit. And although I don't mind spending it, I also like to know my tools limitations. But im not fond of finding them out the hard way. Thanks guys, I know what all my knives will and will not tolerate due to RUclipsrs doing it for me.
Just bought one of these from you this morning. Can't wait for it to get here.
Just bought a ultratech tanto. Glad I did and this makes me feel better about putting in my carry rotation
Jaime, thank you for your service to our country.
I love my Ultratech! Apart from my Scarab the ultra is my second favorite OTF knife.
Great job with these vids, Ben. Keep them coming!
Thank you for your service, sir.
Putting it through its paces. Nice blade choice. Thanks!
I'm loving your field tests, I really want to see you test out the Benchmade Adamas folder.
Great review. Thank you sir (Jamie) for your service. Starting to shop for an automatic and this helps.
I love knives, but I need to clarify some things because seeing this video sorta annoys. I'm an aircrew member in the USMC and I own this knife. I can personally tell you that the idea of getting out of an aircraft with the glass breaker is just far fetched. Mostly due to the 12 emergency exits that you will have the opportunity to use, including swing windows in the flight station. You'll never be in a situation where you'll crash and be trapped in a seatbelt. You have to survive the crash first, good luck with that, and seatbelts on C-130s (And almost every single cargo airplane) are literally just quick release and should be adjusted tight to your body. I will tell you that the only time I ever found this knife to be useful on an aircraft is when you airdrop CDS bundles, heavy equipment, etc. and have to cut line. Even then though, the line will have so much tension that a butter knife could cut through it, the ultratech was sorta comforting because I could just push the blade out with one hand and cut it fast, then close the blade just as fast without slowing down so I can roll into our next checklist faster and in a safer manner. The blade is nice in the fact that it doesn't wear very easily and I've never had it jammed, but I take good care of my knives too so that may play a part in it.
Rap4NoReason hey, stfu. Your daddy isn't proud of you.
yea but what if you were rolling down the strip, blew a tire and the MFr flipped?
U play cod
100% fact that you wouldn't be getting through c-130 cockpit window, we have to beat them out with 24lb sledges and still a pain and come out pretty well in one piece
Damn, I can't believe I gave enough of a fuck to comment on a RUclips video 3 years ago lmfao
Not my first choice as a survival knife but Now that I have one I know it can be pressed to hard service if need be. Great video
Looks great. Thank you guys for all the great vids and support of the knife Nuts out there!
Chuck
Man! I want an OTF. Looks great guys, and as usual fantastic video...
Thank you for your service
Thanks for the honesty and showing the flaws, most would edit those out or not speak of them
Seeing this makes me feel better about the ultratech I've been carrying the last 6 months. I never wanted to take it out and thrash on it.
I didn't think it would hold up that well.... Considering it a auto.. I have looked into this one for a while. Definitely one to buy!!
Great vid Ben. I like the setup it kept me entertained.
Just ordered one! Cant wait
26 year veteran. 4 years in the Infantry and 22 as a Green Beret. My knives were used primarily for cutting open MREs lol. One hands deployment is handy though for airborne operations.
Try to use blue LocTight on your screws next time so they don't back out.
people watch the video then post a rude comments like " It is an otf you idiot!" You looked at the title you chose the video. Why choose a video just to be rude?
Fiend test on a Microtech OTF? AWESOME!! :D
Great Demo
Thanks for the video !
Make more field tests !!!
can u field test a piranha excalibur? awesome vid looking forward to more tests in the field
More videos like this please?!?
It's a gentleman's pocket knife! It's good for moderate edc. But it is worth every penny! I suggest the the UTX 85!
I like that you did something stuff you shouldn't do with a folder. I guess an otf is the best to batton with because it doesn't fold.
Love you Microtech🥰👍💪✊
Nutn would be trying to baton with his SOG Flash I.
Please do a review on the ZT 0550 / 0560! Keep up the good work
These field test videos are pretty sweet. Autos are what got me into collecting knives. I know they aren't as reliable as fixed blades but they are market towards military and law enforcement so they should be reliable right? Could you guys do a scarab? I hear they are very sturdy and maybe the most rugged otf. Please and thanks you.
so cool video guys..
I like the honesty from this video a lot.
Hunting is always great. We got a few antelope in wyoming, an elk in idaho and a few friend gots elk here in Utah. Starting to hit the wasatch hard for deer now.
You should do some field tests on some fixed blades like an esee 6 or something
I agree, great suggestion....
1. For stabbin' mofo's.
2. Decent performance in the environ.
@Truth you dumb.
I would love to see a filed test for the spyderco manix 2 translucent blue.
this has a blade that is made for stabbing. literally. since its a double edge, and has a sharp point, it penetrates so well
What about a utx-70 magnacut BHQ model? I have one coming, its my first OTF & I can't wait
You should test MTN forged knives
I want to know how well the double edge version holds up to that sort of beating.
you should make a video on the new bark river bravo 1.5
Actually I didn't expect the glass breaker to get dented after glass breaking, I thought they were surposed to be made of tungsten carbide, which is extremely hard.
thanks for posting this..i could never take my blade hq limited run blackout ultratech and thump on it like this..but at least i know it can handle it...now seeing that you guys sold out of the 300 run..even more so not to thump on it and watch a video instead...got number 282 here and shes gunna stay pretty
Sold! I'm getting one next month from you!
i don't know if you have any in stock or anything, but i'd love to see you guys test a ZT 0100. i hear amazing things about CPM 3V and i actually have one myself but i don't have enough money for me to be comfortable to do a field test on the one i have.
I tried to find one that had serrations on just one side but couldnt sadly so I just got a straight edge dagger. Which I keep my knives razor sharp anyway so cutting a belt wont be an issue regardless. But still I would have loved one that was serrations on the top and a straight edge on the bottom. It just makes sense way more sense than the combo edge on both sides...
All these condescending comments...
Look, guys, he wants to carry the knife. It stands up to the jobs he needs it to do. I dunno what's so complicated about letting things be as they are- not everybody is going to be an expert knife collector.
Wrong ...boker makes a fixed blade 8.25 I believe..full tang combat..no mechanics..fixed blade 1 hand sheath removal ..25 bucks from your commissary. .stop trying to make that knife something its not..my 2 cents..infantryman here not chair uuummhh air force..
They're underachieving people who need to feel better about themselves.
Tyler Machicek what is he wrong about? You didn’t even say anything about what he said
These things are cool self defense/every day task knives, but I wouldn't want any auto knife to be something I had to rely on in the field, especially for the tasks shown in this vid. Still cool to see how tough the knife is though. I was really suprised it survived the batoning
for en everyday carry you could switch the screws out yourself so it would be easier to maintain.
The strength of the locks on these knives is unbelievable to me. The fact that even a $30 lightning OTF can withstand stabbing thick wood without failing is insane. I don't know how much force it can withstand, but in order for the lock to fail, you'd probably be using enough force to slip past the handle and onto the blade... Meaning it surely goes through bones and serves as an excellent self defense knife.
Which is shocking when you see the internals. The thing that catches the blade in the open/closed positions is the smallest thinnest piece of plastic you ever saw. It's the same on a lightning as it is an ultratech
They're made to take a beating!
:) That's a good one! 230$ sounds much better. I do not shop online, but i like a lot your YT channel. Good luck with everything you do and keep up the great job!
Now I want one
Did u hear that spring when he closed it . I would want to be stuck out there with one of those knives
I want to see if a balisong could be used hard and if not, how much would it take before breaking?
A full tang fixed blade with a sheath is one handed operations and design for this use
This knife is apparently what I'd consider when I need a survival knife.
Please do this with a microtech combat troodon
Some in stock today cool. Microtech Ultratech S/E OTF Automatic Knife Tactical Black (3.4" Black Serr)
Dude- just ordered an ultratech- unfortunately I couldn't get it from bladehq.com because the blade style I wanted wasn't in stock. :(.. But on a side note I'd love to see a field test on the HALO V!! Awesome vid dudes- two thumbs up!
Agreed 100%. This would've been a good one, especially since Nutn is retired USAF.
are the microtech balis in yet? i paid for mine in full! i hope im in the first batch!
How about the the Benchmade 275 adamas folder. Ive heard that benchmade boasts that the axis lock withstand 800 pounds.
6 yrs ago I gave a Utah NAt. Guardsman (Logan), a Microtech folder to take to Afganistan area. He beat the crap out of it, the blade wiggles, and the black is all scratched up, but still works.....
Hey so would you pick tanto point ober drop point and half serrated over non serrated for edc
It does even cut matches? Wow
Revisit!
Test the benchmade 4600 good comparison to this knife.
Try the xm-1 from Ontario knife companie
I love my ultratech, but it wouldn't be the only knife I took on a duty tour. It is great for EDC and possible self-defense but for hard use and something I had to trust my life with after it takes a beating I would take a fixed blade or maybe a ZT.
cool knife
Id love to see a combat troodon torture test to see if its really combat / fight worthy or just a cool show blade.
True but I've never heard of a voyager breaking I've heard of a recon 1 break and it holds 330 pounds in their videos
try a medford praetorian in the field. i bet it will excel
KnifeHQ Would you ship a regular size microtech ultratech to California because they are legal to own in California but not to carry. I would love to have one in my knife collection.
Any chance of a microtech halo field test? (V or VI?)
Bazinga!
Id like to see some spyderco fixed blades
im surprised you didnt feature the kershaw leek
Lol
field test the benchmade adamas folder!
(When I saw this video in the feed) Shit is about to go down.
