Thanks a lot.
Just picked up the rereleased D/E-S version in all black from EKnives. Sold out in less than 3 minutes for both versions. It’s my first scarab so I had to pull the trigger.
@@dylana.601 congrats hope you like it.
Great review subbed
@@juangonzalez3034 thanks so much.
I just bought a Scarab 2 Generation 3 less than two months ago, the "Apocalyptic" stonewashed model.
Very nice OTF! One of the pricier blades I've ever purchased. Initially I had quite a few misfires with it but the firing mechanism is now broken in a bit and it's been much more reliable.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 interesting. Congrats and glad it’s working correctly now.
this days I want to have this knife brand !,

4:00 They mark up the regular Combat Troodons as much it more as the Scarab. Your Ultem knife is a higher end signature knife and all the rules go out the window as far as markings go.
So you think the price difference is worth it over the Heretic Colossus or would I be better off saving some money with the Heretic?
@@danielhenderson8316 I’ve done a colossus video also and u think it is a fantastic knife as well. I think the quality is very on par and for the most part you’ll be good saving money with the Heretic and not be disappointed.
Very cool! Great video 👍
Thank you so much for commenting on the blade play for the Scarab 2 Gen3. I bought mine directly from Microtech at Blade Show Atlanta and did not notice it til I got home. I own a Ultratech so I’m familiar with OTF’s but this was my first large blade. It concerned me at first because the play in the Scarab 2 Gen 3 is significantly more noisy than my ultratech. I went to SMKW and played with the Gen 3 Troodon, 3 of them, and they too have a little rattle to them as well. I’m wondering if this is because of the dual fuel system?
It’s just common that’s how MOST OTF’s are.
I will keep encouraging you to get a Maxace Neptune when they are back in stock. I think it will surprise you how tight the blade is and powerful deployment. And Tough as hell. Check out the punishment test here on YT. Thanks for the vid!
I'd say 99% of OTFs have blade play. I have a new Microtech Halo VI and Protech Dark Angel (both single action) that will lock up with no blade play. I wish the Halo wasn't fully serrated, but beggars can't be choosers. That Halo was my grail knife, and I'm so happy to own both of these extremely rare OTFs.
autos not for me, but I like to see them
