This is the first look at the new Microtech Ultratech. It has the Dual Fuel drivetrain, Zero blade play Zero stop system and the the Crud Cutter button track design.
This is going to make the secondary market nuts for getting an older Microtech. The blade play was what was holding up my purchase. Cant wait to get my first auto MT in hand!😊
Keep up the great work! Was just looking at some Hawk deadlocks and they are almost 3k now. I'm guessing the titanium has made the price go way up compared to the $1400 for their aluminum chassis, I don't know have not really looked into it. But that's great news about the zero blade play and especially on the Ultratech now. It looks great as well. One more idea I would like to see happen is hollow grinds on them.
I really like my Ultratech. I've had it now for several years. Sadly I don't carry it often because the local laws are murky when it comes to 'automatic' knives. Still, it's a great blade and I like it a lot! Thanks Ray!
Dad-blast-it... Evidently we all like the same toys! I've heard you talk about Microtech in some of your shooting vids... and thought you sure were high on them. That figures also, as back in the early eighties, I was in Las Vegas on a job withI a couple of contracts with General Electric and another defense contractor who shall remain nameless( sensitive now ) at that time... and a man named Mike Dillon, who suggested I start going to SHOT SHOW... and the first booth I couldn't pass by was Microtech's ( as I was in shock with all the manufacturers and hardware )... and the rest is history. Besides firearms, machinery, and racing... I love and collect knives too! Glad to see you fulfill your days with greatness and Industry Giants! Hope the week goes well my friend. Respectfully, Seth
I’m already pretty impressed with the little blade play my late 2021 ultratech has so zero play would be super impressive! The only issue I have with mine is it takes an insane amount of force to retract the blade. It literally shreds the skin on my thumb (and no it’s not cause I’m weak because I’ve handed this knife to my 200+ pound friend open and he still had some trouble). If this comes in magnacut I’m gonna probably sell mine on Craigslist and pick it up.
Considering i’ve seen videos of ray using his index finger to fire and retract one of the newer microtechs that means they significantly made it easier to deploy than older microtechs
They've actually done just that, the new dual spring models are incredibly easy to open and close compared to older ones, none of the thumb fatigue you used to get on older ones after a bunch of openings.
i been in situations where i have gotten alot of grid and sand in an OTF and had deployment issues just cant ever carry one again long live the manual flipper
I’m a knife guy and microtech addict. I don’t get why people are so hung up on the very minimal blade play in otf’s. It seems like it’s more of a good thing with a knife with moving parts as so no debris etc.. will clog it up. But I don’t make the knives so idk.
Bruh, you and I both. I like minimal play outside of what's needed to allow the blade to run. There needs to be some lash incase debris gets in the track etc. Gotta think ARs will jam when AKs won't for this exact reason.
I am a knife guy but I've been a 940 Osborn guy for years. Every time I try to carry something else the 940 ends up back in my pocket within a day or two.
I struggle with my opinion on microtech. Without question great knives, but I wonder how much is the name. My folder from Chris(?) Wilmont is a beast and is my EDC. It was about 600. My hellcat otf is a lower grade of steel but the internals are perfect for 175. have a hard time justifying paying that much for a name. I had a 1000 otf from them and it was a beautiful blade but not worth 1000. It’s why as a Canik fanboy I’m not terribly excited about the TTI. To be clear, microtech makes fantastic knives but they’re not worth it to me. My opinion., bring the pain.
What a lovely, friendly guy. And…The knife has a level of engineering that blows me away. I live in the UK and can easily afford it…but cannot buy it. That sucks, 🤮🤮🤮
Crud cutter is the design under the button track to allow clearance for lint and debris from your pocket. Anything with the Zero Blade Play or Zero Stop feature is the no movement blade once deployed.
Her--retic??? ...OMG they Florida-manned an ancient word that is CLEARLY pronounced HARE-A-TIC... BECAUSE THE ROOT OF THE WORD IS HERESY. which is DEFINITELY not pronounced HER-A-SEE... But HAIR-ESS-SEE... Even in Florida.
@@chrisaguirre7018 I just think the old stuff looks lame. They took a step in the right direction but I think they look classy. I'm in Washington so gas station knives are pretty bad here haha
Ray I sent a message to you on Instagram about a Microtech Jagdkommando I randomly found at a gun store, realized I couldn’t send a picture. Confirmed serial number with Microtech and it’s real. Flamed Titanium for 950 out the door Never seen one in person, had to buy it once I saw it lol.
