That sucker sure took a beating, and I'd say they make some awesome stuff! That same Chevy 2500 HD crewcab is the truck that hit me at 70mph when I was at the stop sign. I had some heavenly help on that night, it was one heck of a collision! Seems like that Microtech can take a beating better than me. :)
I have always trusted the Microtech’s but I had no idea what kind of abuse they could really take. It actually surprised me a little. 70mph is a hard impact from ANYTHING! Including a baseball!
@@XRING Yeah, I kind of feel bad now. You reminded me of all the guys I beaned when I was a pitcher. LOL I told em not to crowd the plate, they should've listened. :)
Man!! That was painful to watch. lol. But.... that is true testament how well they are built and why the cost more. Good stuff my friend. Even tho I have to take blood pressure meds now.
My son just brought his back from 2 weeks active duty. It was covered. In hardened Mortar. Sprayed lots of Remoil And PB Blaster in it. Then blew off the mortar with a pressure washer. Lubed it up snd blew it out with air compressor. Fires as good as day one!!!
string twister My pleasure string twister and thanks for watching. Just remember to blow out the chassis with air or rem oil occasionally to keep it running 100%!
I bought me a Ludt just got it in the mail a couple days ago...and man I had never seen one or held one in real life video doesn’t do it justice...there such high quality knives you feel it the second you pick it up and fire it with it’s amazing action...100% happy and highly recommend microtech...I have a 300 dollar Zero Tolerance which I still absolutely adore but my LUDT has been in my pocket since I got it...you should get yours with a satin blade finish it’s so nice to look at
They exceeded my expectations I will from now on be a lifetime microtech customer and will always talk highly of the company thats how happy i am with my knife 😄😄😄
@@claybaybay740 I'm jelouse, there is something about the LUDT especially the auto version that is probably my favorite auto side flipping knife out of all of them. There's something about it that's just amazing, maybe because of the looks and it's meant for underwater demolition LOL.
Thanks for doing these tests. I find the “safe queen” / “collectible” reviews to be worthless. I’ve carried a knife since I was about seven. As you said, they’re meant to be used. I’ve got a couple of OTF Microtech clones from the gun shows. I like the OTF because it’s one handed IN as well as out, but assumed they were too fragile to be a working knife. After seeing these I’m getting a real one. Kate
That is seriously one of the coolest Ultratech I have ever seen. They never have compromised on quality I cannot wait to get one. Super expensive but it’s a lifelong blade.. how cool is that?? Another great video! Way cool you’d put your stuff through this so we know what we can and can’t do. Much appreciated.
Well, I always thought they look cool but are finnicky and can break down easily. I just ordered my first after this video! A blue with black drop point. Cant wait!
Thanks Laeveld. Just remember that they do need to have a little Rem Oil every few months. They are reliable if you do your part with servicing occasionally. Thanks for watching.
Was always skeptical of the look, design, use, etc, especially for the price lines, but seeing such torture tests (and not that I could or would intentionally to a personal knife), now I really want to get one! Hopefully I can qualify for the program you spoke of. I also appreciate and admire when a company can display such pride and performance in their products, and for people who've literally worked entire lives in those fields or professions. Semper Fi & Thanks!
Well done... for our LE guys out there buy this brand... you wouldn’t carry a Chi-Com GLOCK so get yourself a blade that you can bet your life on. I’m retired... I still see you guys carrying some knock offs... not all but a few. Yes... they’re a half a pay check.... but worth it. Cry once!
I just bought my first Ultratech and I can’t barely even keep it out of my hand..lol..she is definitely my favorite and most expensive knife..I didn’t think I would ever talk myself into spend over the $200 I spent on my Spyderco Autonomy 2..this time I’m serious,$300 will be my max but man are them Hellhounds blades beautiful..lol
ohh man now that would do real damage, I caught residential lawns with zero turn mowers for about 4 years now, and I have seen what the mower blades can do to metal or steel when they come in contact. Don't ask me how I know this lol. It would quite possibly, if it hit it right, almost cut it into pieces.
There won't be. For the lock to be damaged the entire chassis must be deformed which takes a lot! MT blade locks are perfection to behold and engineered for positive engagement under tip pressure - the harder you hammer, the more the front lock holds! Not saying you can't destroy a MT if you beat on it hard enough - FAR beyond even extreme duty use, but you will never destroy one without the aid of heavy hammers, and solid backing, or deliberately flexing the blade as hard as possible sideways. I'd trust my MT DA OTFs to stand up to abuse that would split the handle and warp the blade mount of many of my hinge bladed knives!
I am a Corrections Officer and that is why I bought mine! RAY!!!!! Great job! You prove why Microtech makes them. BTW, I have the Ultratech T/E Tanto Blade (no serration) aqua blue.
@@XRING no I did not go through the program. I went in uniform to Bear Mountain Outfitters (St. Augustine, Fl) on the way to work and they hooked me up. But I dig my blade!
the greatest OTF enemy is dirt, not falls from skycrapers nor standing tons of weight. Oil, grease, fruit sugars, dust, sand and even blood are much more likely to happen than the BS situations you saw in this video. Those elements CAN and usually ARE enough to get the blade stuck inside and the knife useless. Have some blood getting dry on the internals will make your microtech useless. So much for this test and the law enforcements claims made by microtech. And I am not TALKING. I am carrying first hand experience. I love Microtech, Marfione works, etc, but military and LE should stay away from ANY otf knife. That's it.
I agree that the biggest enemy of an OTF is dirt/sand. This was a very impromptu video but I have real tests on other OTF’s. I completely disagree with you that LEO/Mil should stay away from from them. If you maintain them like anything else they are fine. Remember to wipe the blood off before you retract. Carried them for too many years in “real” Leo/Mil capacity to argue about it.
@@XRING I have a lot of respect for those having professional background/actual expertise, and even more in these days of the internet when too many people reject science / actual experts, etc. I am not one of those guys and appreciate your experience. Yet, in this particular case I have to repectfully disagree with you for one simple reason: you don't take less reliable instruments on the field (or requiring more maintance, which is the same) when those same instruments give you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in return for that 'more demanding maintenance'. And that's exactly what an OTF brings on the table when chosen over a side opening folder: zero, nothing, nada. A side folder is cheaper, sturdier, less sensitive to dust and dirt and there's no single task in the world an otf can accomplish that a side folder can't (and the side opening usually does it better!!). And here comes the part contaning a very respectful 'don't BS me'. Dear X-Ring yes, I believe you carried and used a microtech OTF for years and had very few issues thanks to a very careful manitenance and care... just don't BS me: THE ONLY REASON YOU DID IT WAS THE COOL FACTOR. And frankly said I have problems with military / LE taking decisions based on the cool factor. I hope you will appreciate my frankness. That said, I love microtech as much as I hate their military / LE 'talking' at the same time. They touched the bottom with their jackcommando design... I love their arts and designs, but I hate when they mess with 'serious things'. Peace and love. You have an awesome channell.
wallace lee I appreciate your response and respect your point of view. In all fairness, if you watch my channel I have carried my Socom Auto for 19 years. I really didn’t purchase it for the cool factor. I purchased it because 19 years ago there was not a better knife out there. It was the most expensive knife that I had ever bought up to that point . It was always Cold Steel up until then. In 2013 I started carrying 2 knives....the Socom and the 2013 Combat that I still have and carry. It was never less reliable for me but I am a stickler for maintenance on everything. I do not carry the Ultratech or the X-85. Good knives, but not big enough for my liking. I appreciate you watching and commenting on the channel. Differing views are not always a bad thing.
yep, I was talking about OTFknives only. Let's say my reply goes to those soldiers (and there were actually more than one) that carried Benchmade Infidels in the middle east...
I got blood in my microtech and haven't cleaned it and also it went 3-4 inch in my hand so blood definitely went inside I haven't cleaned it in 4 months and my knife shoot and closes fine with no mess ups 😂😂😂😂
The replicas hold up just as well for the most part. I've seen some out preform real Microtechs. So of you want to run over your knife but not spend $300-$400 to do it, that would be an option.
I've done these test with my hifinder knockoffs and they passed just as well as the microtech. I also have many real microtechs but abuse the knockoffs
Makes me feel even better about my recent $300 Ultratech purchase..mine is turquoise with black blade and hardware..it’s a single edge drop point blade in 204p..it’s truly an amazing knife
Thanks Garrett and thanks for watching the channel. Since this video was filmed, I have taken a job with Microtech and have made a few videos on how we make the Ultratech. The series is called How and Ultratech is made. How a Microtech Ultratech is made. PT. 1 ruclips.net/video/zr4MesjUIZ4/видео.html
I hawe Ultratech im from Croatia and in whole EU are forbiden but it's just to good to not have one one packet:)) . Next one is Socom Elite manual. Best regards
My first Ultratech Knife Death Card bronce edition im wery hepy, knife worth ewer peny . Now i know why the hipe. Best working otf in te world i use it like EDC. In 6month not one misfire unbeliweble good knife with super steal. M390.
All well and good, but just drop it in the sand one time and it won't be working until you disassemble and clean it. I was using mine to cut some leftover polyethylene silt fence that a construction crew left behind my house when I got a little dirt inside it. Totally jammed it up until I took it apart, cleaned and lubed it. I still love my Ultratech, however, and carry it every day.
Has anyone had issues with their otf by Microtech not functioning properly in cold temperatures? Just got a UTX-85 and it will not deploy the blade fully anytime the knife gets below 40F. Hoping this isn't normal and I can get it replaced.
Sean Tynan Hello Sean, I have heard that using lubricants or lack of lubricants other than Rem Oil can cause this issue. Have you tried flooding the knife with this and using compressed air to remove the remaining oil?
Howdy X-RING. Your suggestion to use Rem Oil is exactly what Microtech recommends and they also have a quick video to help show how to maintain their OTF autos. I’ve experimented with many different conventional and synthetic lubricants in one of my Ultratechs and Rem Oil is the only lubricant I’ve found that doesn’t slow down extension/retraction of the blade. Also, for anyone else who might read this comment, stick with compressed air in a can like one would use to lightly dust electronics or computers when you blow out the excess Rem Oil. Ultratechs have four small springs inside and two small pivoting lock-open, lock-closed latches that might be blown out of place or even bent if a person used high air pressure from any shop compressor. Anyhow, that’s my two cents and I hope it helps people maintain their Microtech OTF knives. Please keep making your very informative videos. I learn something from every one I watch.
Howdy X-RING and thanks for your reply. Sorry about my long-winded comments. I didn’t know about you working for Microtech until after I had droned on and on a couple of times while commenting. I was just trying to be helpful (I think you probably realize that). Anyhow, please keep making your very informative videos but please, pace yourself when hacking through tires... this old man damn near had a heart attack watching you work. ;)
All fake! This wasn't even filmed on planet Earth. You could tell this was filmed on an entirely different planet with 1/2 the gravity as Earth. Go figure.
Mine survived everything I threw at it. I wore the blade down in the field. I had the blade replaced and it didn't survive the ride home from the shop. Birmingham sucks lol. Stopped to use the restroom and my car was broken into and grabbed the small bag it was in.
Don't forget EMS, my wife is a paramedic and she gets the discounted price as well. Love Microtech for that, and this knife as well. We both have that exact model, just with a Tonto non cerated blade. Knew they were great knives just didn't know how tough they really were. Glad to know they'll hold up to that much abuse.
my ultratech half deployed when it fell out of my pocket onto the garage floor ,wondering whats wrong with it ,if hes throwing it and its not deploying
After running it over, throwing it, etc. - at the end he says I hate to do this to this knife as he throws it one last time. Like all the other things where just regular use. Ha ha ha ha

You should do a disassembly after all the torture test to see if there is any damage to the lock

If he would’ve hit the truck with the throwing test with the glasbreaker side and the windshield broke. Now that would’ve been real funny 😆
I feel like the guy in Bill Burrs helicopter story! What the F$@%! What the F%@%in F$@#! Lol
I save all my MICROTECH BOXES...15 and counting. Tuff blades.”love them.’’ Keep up the great work. Semper fi. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Yeah, definitely want to save those boxes. Especially if you have any customs.
I only have one box, the one my utx 85 came in In February to replace my pro tech cqc7. Just ordered an ultratech
@@Jx12346 I think you will like the Ultratech for sure. Congratulations on the new purchase.
Don't forget EMS, my wife is a paramedic and she gets the discounted price as well. Love Microtech for that, and this knife as well. We both have that exact model, just with a Tonto non cerated blade. Knew they were great knives just didn't know how tough they really were. Glad to know they'll hold up to that much abuse.
Tougher than I expected.
Not gonna lie, that hurt my soul to watch. But I appreciate the video. Been skeptical about one but the video helped me out.
Microtech says spray Rem Oil into the knife slot when your first get it and then use compressed air amd spray the excess out.
my ultratech half deployed when it fell out of my pocket onto the garage floor ,wondering whats wrong with it ,if hes throwing it and its not deploying
When he was standing next too the truck i thought he was gonna go ham on the tires and stab the hell out of them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love mine. Works great. Good video
Isyour6covered® Thank Rick!
I just ordered my first microtech. Havnt even got it yet and im a fan boy.
Id like to see a torture test of the hera 2 gen 3. Im curious about how the hidden fasteners would hold up
After running it over, throwing it, etc. - at the end he says I hate to do this to this knife as he throws it one last time. Like all the other things where just regular use. Ha ha ha ha
When he first threw that beauty my first thought was I wanna take you and throw you as far as I can! Damn man gotta do a great knife like that
We can see the mower on the trailer of your truck it wasn’t a random persons mower lol you don’t have to lie to kick it man.
I throw all my $40 knives that far. Toss them on concrete or gravel I don’t care. What? Those cost how much. She it that boy is crazy
Tom Olofsson All in the name of testing Tom. Just want to see how they do.
Don't know if I would ever subject my ultratech to that kind of torture but good to know it can withstand a beating in extreme situations.
What the heck is he hiding on the dlc coating right under the clip ? His personal info laser etched into the handle??
Excellent Knives
I thought he was going to put the knife in the lawnmower blades and I said dont you dare
Definitely the best review. Ordering 2 as of now.
lol some guy let him borrow his lawn mower and let him drive his truck thats a little sus 🧐
Thank you for really testing these tools
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Be nice to have automobiles turn like that mower did.
Great job have my first one on it's way. Made me a believer glad someone else had to do it not me. Great video!!
I will not do this to my Ultratech. Thanks for the cool video.
Next time ask for 2 to test and just send the other to me
Kevin Roberts might as well make it three and send me one also ☝️
This is the test of the handle of the knife, not the knife itself. How about using it?
Now that Michigan allows single edge blade automatics one of these days I’m gonna have to give up my carbon fiber zero tolerance for one of these
badbilly429 CF ZT is a nice one. Glad Michigan changed the laws on the OTF’s
Be interesting if it were ran over by that truck or mower when opened....
My microtech is brand new out of the box easy to open but hard to close
I like the videos this guy makes when it comes to knives. He doesn't bullshit around. He shows you what is good and what is bad.
Thanks Tylor and thanks for watching!
@@XRING any time. Bought a microtech single action recently. It's awesome.
They are definitely addicting !
One on the way! What a cool company to offer such a product to service personnel.
I still want it.....if you dont like it..my dreamknives
I want one but unfortunately these type of knifes are banned in the penal colony that is Australia 😏😞
Jim Gourlas Yes, Australia doesn’t allow any of the OTF offerings.
Banned in several states as well. Then there's states that allow possession but outlaw carry. Thankfully my state is neither.
In Australia , many animals are more dangerous than a machin gun 😁, so why a auto knife is illegal!!!!
My kinda test! Brutal,love it!✔️👋
the hesitation before slamming it😂 great test video bro
Kinda clickbait but still great video 😂
Soooo...never let X-Ring borrow a knife✔️😂 no those knives are super tough. Do a blade/cutting edge test
I'dRatherBeOutside LoL. I will do that
I would like a before and after of the innards.
This video hurt me more than it hurt the knife lol.
