I could have inserted so many “That’s what she said!” remarks while editing this video. 😂😂😂
Was waiting every time. 😆
I’ve seen a lot of bar lock style knives that have lock stick when you first get them. I’m not sure if it’s needing to wear a path or what it is, but it doesn’t usually dissuade me on the bar locks. I’ve not had a single one that didn’t wear in well.
Liked and subbed, thanks for the vid.
I wonder if its the 2nd gen ones with the added hardware that have that lock stick. Mine is a first gen without the 2 added screws on either side of the lock. Mine has no stick and super smooth.
i have no trouble flicking this knife open (6.3 guy with big hands) and either they fixed the sticky lock issue or i was lucky, absolutely smooth lock on mine, better than any bm ootb.
the spring could be stronger though.
"Put on your murder gloves, lets murder" 😂
Did I just find a new favorite reviewer?
Handled it and the stitch at Blade TX. I went with every intention of getting one or both. Was pretty let down also.
The coating on the blade needs to be polished off and the action gets very good. It's dirty as hell out of the factory. The deployment is a bit weak due to the ram lock design, but mine operates smooth as glass after I "fixed " it.
I usually don't mind lock stick but on an axis lock I'll probably pass for now. I really want a michrotech folder. One of the major selling points on this knife for me is the ambi pocket clip since I'm left handed.
The action is as soft as their HRC.
Leave it in the kitchen and your good lady will be pleased with her new folding spatula. 😋
Dang bro. That is a lot of stick. Mine didn’t have that but I did need to tune the pivot to improve the action. It is a big boy.
From what I’ve seen with other ppl it looks like the v2 got some fun lockstick. Maybe adding all the screws caused it unintentionally…
Am I the only one that was laughing at the "eagle noise?"
apparently... Just you and me 🤣
Thanks, TriStateEDC. I need to try one out. I've learned that if it's too big for you ... then I need to take interest. 😂.
It was announced at $250RRP by Microtech so you'd expect retailers to come in cheaper. Though another reviewer paid $300.... Crazy. Also on the lockstick, i have the same issue with the Benchmade 940-2 which is apparently common.
That blade finish is pretty nice. 16 places to stick your torx bit seems like a lot :D
That's real unfortunate. I thought these would have great detents, and yours is the first I heard of having a lock stick issue.
but they can't use flush screws on the pocket clip
I really wanted one but with those problems I'll have to pass for now, but I am thinking about selling my Spyderco Tuff in like brand new condition ( carried very little and never once used) with a RGT black linen micarta scale and Lynch deep carry clip, I love it and don't really want to part with it but I need some money for some other knives I really want
Looks like a big awesome sticky knife. Pretty cool. Definitely don't pay scalpers more than it sells new for. Let them keep it.
The Rockwell and Para 3 are close in size. I'd suggest using the Para 2 instead. Just a suggestion
Yeah, the axis lock operation on the SuperFreek is almost just as uncomfortable for "perfectly average😁" hands. Almost just out of comfortable reach.
Thanks for the review, was really looking forward to picking one up. Now with the price point, action, and so many other knives for the price. The ram lock Microtechs are a massive pass at this point. Hopefully there is some cqi versions to come😢.
Hopefully flytanium makes some scales for it.
Wonder if this is only on the MSI, my ram lok stitch has zero lock stick. Might have to hold off on the msi then.
Apparently it was an issue on early MSI's. I've heard from a lot of folks that haven't had any issues.
@@TristateEDC ah that sucks I would like to think that Microtech would replace and or fix it. The ram lok has been great to me, I’m sure they have some kinks to work out still on a brand new model.
I paid I think 315 a piece for mine at Texas Show, and I bought 4 😆 🤣 😠
You got robbed 🤣
I like everything about it except the weak detent! Deal killer for me
Are you returning it?
8:08 The face of sheer disappointment 😢
“Size comparison… It’s fuckin’ huge” Concise, sir.
Thanks for the video brother.. Think I’ll just get another AD20S instead now 😂
Sharpie or pencil the lock surface on the blade and that will help with the stick until it breaks in. I dont mind stick, makes it seem more secure to me. Great video. Subscribed
I only understand about half of what you are referring to but I enjoy your videos so much. I hope you get the knife working better.
M.S.I = MUSHY SOFT ISSUES
😂😂
Just put a little graphite on that lock and that should do it !
I already sold her, But thanks 🙌
@@TristateEDC Thank you for making those video bro, keep up the good work 💪
Dudes gonna be late for his radio gig
I’ve been torn between the Stitch, Amphibian, and MSI, and this has given me more encouragement to get the Stitch.
Yeah, I've heard more positive feedback about the stitch, but I haven't reviewed one yet myself.
@@TristateEDC I hope you do, and I would love to hear your opinion of it! Tho, specifically, I would get a Ram-Lok Stitch, since I live in a no-autos state. 🙃
Yeah it sucks that it sucks! Thanks for sharing and being honest about it bud
I can’t buy anything from Microtech or Marfione. Never been lucky with my knives form them. Even my ultratech had the craziest strength needed to actuate the button.
I don’t know why you RUclipsr knife reviewers think that everything’s gotta flip out or either you think it sucks…You can stick your finger in the blade opening hole with your thumb and pull the knife straight out until it locks up without all of those errors. The kind of lock that it is which is similar to the Spyderco ceramic ball bolt lock & it’s not made for flipping out like that, it’s for having a strong lock up, and if anything will slow down the speed of flipping it open and then it bouncing back without locking up which is just wear and tear on all the parts on most knives.
after many months of owning this. I've revised my first impressions. At the end of the day, It's a solid knife, and a cool design.... it's just too big for me personally🤣
Knife center was retail selling these for 350-400$ and people still bought them🤮 I refuse to pay over msrp for it..but I still want one of the stitches..nice episode Kole🙌
Absolute NONSENSE
Just get yourself a socom elite brotha. Best microtech folder ever made.
That looks like some nasty lock stick Kole! I’d already heard about the super soft detent and have been watching all the reviews, like you it is just way too big for my preferences. Hopefully they sort it out and help people out with warranty stuff
Great review my dude! You ARE the cat’s pajamas
This is why they are releasing this 10 at a time because they know it will sell if it has that can't get mysterious vibe. I've heard nothing but disappointments. And I've been wasting Thursday's for 4 months now trying to get one. Microtech urks me.
I think Microtech must have accidentally magnetized the 26 screws holding this model together, and they must be holding the blade in place and affecting the action! Only plausible explanation.
Fancy looking
I liked the Salute to the All American Pinch Grip but I’d have to send back that sloppy action 2 handed Ram Stick, Thanks Koke 😎
Darn - Kinda sad now. I like a strong detent too.
don’t worry lock stick goes away with use
It's been a long long while. Long stick is still there. 🤷
dang mine went away fairly quickly.
They’ll make a mini msi that will work lol
Oh yes pleez lord!
dam brother awesome knife i like it allot
THANKS MAN, THAT SUX FOR THAT PRICE! I WONT WASTE MY MONEY!
Pepperoni couldn’t even stick around for this knife. He’s appalled.
Hmmm, interesting. I have some thoughts on this Microtech - first time I saw it, it reminded me of CIVIVI Spiny Dogfish design wise - which was good, coz I have and like this knife. I must say MSI looks amazing, very high-tech, sci-fi, cyberpunk etc. However, looks is one thing and the quality and action is another. I was considering buying this one but the price is too big for what it represents. It's good I watched your vid and it put me off from buying this knife, which is good because if I bought it I'd be probably very disappointed. It's mind boggling that such a respectable company produces such a piece of c.... which looks very good , I must admit. My next gripe with this knife is the lock, too complex, too many holes, empty spaces as for a heavy duty Rambo knife. I can imagine a bit of dirt or sand getting into the lock during work and being unable to close it or open it when needed later. So, generally- a big NO. A shame, cos the design is amazing, it seems we should never judge the book by the cover :|
They need to drop the “RAM” lock and make it in a titanium frame lock.
I'd buy it
send that one back right away
I plan on it. Just wanted to get some photo/video work done with it before I send it off.
I don't mind lock stick on these types of knives.
ok but....how do you wait a whole night to open boxes lol...i'd rather have that anax
Because every single unboxing you see on my channel represents 4-8 hours of work 🤣
@@TristateEDC oh i know, it shows...i just meant how a box on new knife day sits a whole night unopened lol...i am also not a youtuber so, boxes don't stay unopened very long around me haha
another great video
You can't win' em all slugger.😔Why don't you come to my house for dinner, mom's making Stove top.😁
Oof. Crazy that quality control let that lock stick out in the wild. From what I’ve heard, factory action is terrible on all of them. Poor showing for Microtech’s new standard.
Woof! What a dog. Que sad trombone....🤦♂️ Thanks for the video Kole 🤘💜🤙
If you do decide it is too big for you I will buy it off you for what you have in it.
The knife was disappointing, but the video was AWESOME!! This is my kinda knife reviewer! Just subbed and can't wait to check out your other vids!
Do you use a voice changer?
Sometimes 😏
“Lock stick” or *bonus clicks* ?….yeah, it’s lock stick.
People have high hopes for this knife but I just can’t get it
….Just oil it up….Break it. It will be fine(just bought one)- USMC VET
Dude, your voice is made for broadcasting.
He uses a voice enhancer when making his videos, but nonetheless the final product does come out rather nice.
Why do people pay this much for a knife with flimsy liners & plastic scales 😳
Pass 😝
Bummer...could be better mate. Give it a miss.
Can anyone redirect me to the secondhand market?
In the description there is a link for knafsale... You're welcome 🥂
Sure is pretty….but nope. Still want the all Blk SOCOM BRAVO. It’s hot and she will go to work.
If anybody has seen Andromeda before, DISAPPOINTED!
ALL HYPE NO KEALLLL🤬
Lol.
I don’t like disappointed kole. Shame micro tech . Shame. Did you sell it yet
I'm going to send it back and give them a chance to fix it.
Im trying so hard to listen and take in this review, but the fact that this man is digitally altering the pitch of his voice to gain a much deeper, baritone sound is the biggest red flag ive ever ever stumbled apon.
What's the red flag? That I dislike my own voice?
With all respect, yes, you got a bad one. I own the MSI and no lock stick at all. And no sir, the detent is not soft. You cannot take a ram lock deployment system like this and compare it to liner or frame locks. The detent is perfect for this style of deployment. This is not a toy for nervous people to fidget with, although you can play with it in this way. I have seen more than one video where people are using their own personal narratives and preferences for "flicky" or "drop shutty" and try to apply these ludicrous terms to every knife. These terms are irrelevant for this knife and the detent, again, is not soft. As for the hot spot under the two front fingers, you are correct. I took some super fine wet/dry sand paper, put some CLP on the paper and very gently took the edge off that area and it made a world of difference. And you cannot even tell I touched the knife because the CLP was polishing it while I was smoothing it at the same time! Olive oil or coconut oil will do the same.
I'm really hoping they make a smaller version, I'll definitely buy it again.
meow meow
The disappointment in your voice 😔 I hope you can get it fixed. Or better yet sell it!!
Honestly, In 3 years of doing this... biggest let down in my career. 😞
Exceptionally good knife, especially the polymer version bringing great blade steel and some titanium to sub $200 unlike Benchmade, I applaud this effort.
I am thoroughly unimpressed with this knife.
This brand is sometimes overrated
Ew.
