Benchmade Infidel Vs. Microtech Dirac Delta - WHICH IS BESTEST!?!?! 

I just got the infidel and I love the fact that I’m not the only person that saw the nut sack on the knife. I made a joke about that today at work with a coworker. Also, I love the fact that you still go back to your old videos and see peoples comments. you just got yourself a subscriber you’re amazing.

In terms of a weapon that might have to be used as intended, the Infidel is actually designed as a real world weapon, not a couch fidget tool. With that said, I'm a huge fan of the Microtech knives and absolutely love them. A latest review of the colored handle Infidels of the big knife seller websites show the Infidel going for $650 which is a ridiculous price.

Microtech > Benchmade. It’s as easy as that. Add the DE with one side being fully serrated and that Dirac Delta will handle all cutting needs…

Great comparison video

Might be late, but thought I'd say something. If you have the feeling an OTF fires slow or different in one direction than the other there are 2 things I have see. The L shaped piece on either side of the spring can rub on the inside of the housing and brake the springs a bit. I have seen a rough surface on the upper side of the piece, after polishing it the knife fired much harder. Another thing that might lead the piece to rub is that it does not sit right in the spring holder. Had a knife, where the L bracket had a bit of a sharp corner that made it press against the housing on the outwrds stroke. After filing it off the piece sat much deeper in the holder and had less contact with the housing making this knife also fire much easier and faster.

I’ll be honest, I much prefer the infidel handle. God forbid you ever do find yourself using it as it’s intended, the faceted design and overall shape of the handle will offer a rock solid grip.

Spreading that otf wisdom🤘🤘

Yea I have a lightning otf with less blade play than my benchmade! I'm guessing the longer handle & blade tang on the microtech offers better stability

Nice video man my dad is a benchmade guy and I’m a microtech guy. Where did you get your delta with the brass accents I’m looking for one.

Benchmade knows they can charge way more for a lesser product, so they do. They call it business. I call it ripping off soldiers.

I had both and used both extensively and I will tell you if your looking to use it for field work or any sort of real world application the infidel worked better for me. The texture of the material, the east of the blade mechanism it was was just simpler to use and extremely durable. BYW, the spring stiffness has nothing to do with operation or reliability of it just for your info. I will give the Microtech the more elegant look of your into that stuff but I the end of the day I prefer function over fashion. Just my opinion

I love my Infidel but at $450 I think the price is out of line. Luckily I paid quite a bit less.

I wouldn’t get a Benchmade infidel after watching this. I’ve had my eye on a Dirac Delta, and didn’t realize how far the gap is between Microtech and Benchmade OTF’s.

I love my Dirac!

Do you think that for $230 it would be a different story? Or is even $230 too high a price for the outdated infidel? I hear a lot of comparisons and criticisms about the blade steel and how outdated it is and overpriced it is compared to other knives the same price ($500) however rn it’s being sold on Benchmades site for $230. I don’t think I can justify $400+ for a knife it’s just not something in my budget, but $230 on the other hand is very affordable. Wdy think? Is even $230 “overpriced” for the infidel?

Interesting I have an Ultratech and Infidel and my Ultratech definitely has a slight bit more play when deployed then my Infidel. Both have great lock up when deployed for OTF's

Good video, thanks

I own numerous Microtech OTF knives. I narrowly prefer Microtech over Benchmade, but I must admit, I absolutely love my Infidel. I believe it's the best knife Benchmade has ever produced. Super reliable, great blade, and the handle is extremely grippy and combat ready.

Is this the larger dirac? Aren't there 2 different sizes?

you still have that Dirac Delta ? I'l buy it off of you :) I dig that color combo

I've always like the Dirac's name :) I think its pronounced "die-rack". To me, knifes just have some of the oddest names nowadays.

I just got an new Infidel for $45!!!

What’s the purpose of these knives?

Im not a pro but I think your benchmade is a fake Where is the marking on the front of the blade down by the handle? Great video though

The reason to get the Infidel is if you plan on actually stabbing things... the handle on the Infidel is exponentially better for actually holding onto while stabbing into objects with decent resistance, and the locking mechanism is better. The Delta is much more likely for your hand to slide forward if you stab something. I do wish the Benchmade had a glass breaker, but I think you can get a modified pocket clip that has a glass breaker integrated into it.

it should be a battle of the top teir otfs from each company that's what the infidel is from benchmade it is legit.....but microtech comes thru with the halo....nuff said

My benchmade had almost no wiggle unlike every microtech

You did not talk about the customer service and warranty. Benchmade warranty is well known for its quality

They are 450 on your site right now wtd Why can't u buy a infidel for a decent price? Everyone jas raised the price for 450. You can almost get some of the best otfs

The button on the Dirac tore my thumb up.

i just ordered an infidel for $40 cause it was 93% off!!!

Everything other than the possible deployment issues with the weaker spring is pretty much irrelevant, when it comes to a practical standpoint...that puppy will pierce right through a temple let alone a torso as intended as a combat blade. Your getting more blade in a smaller more robust package that allows for better purchase in the hand. No disrespect just my humble opinion. I've seen that blade pierce the hood of a car no problem.💀

Dirac is referring to a shape of perfect cemetery. The left mirrors the right and it's not pronounced gearack it's pronounced die with an eye

Sounds like a microtec salesman lmao

It's not dee rack its die rack

The Infidel is a toy compared to the Dirac Delta. D2 vs m390 is no comparison. All materials and machining from microtech are far superior. And it costs less! I tried to like Benchmade for years, but they just don’t bring it. Only ZT, Hinderer, and Microtech for me at the moment.

I don’t even recognize Benchmade as a knife maker - wouldn’t have one if given to me with $500 check. Good knives for sure, but over priced - almost every single one. Chris Reeve, Medford and Microtech for me and I ignore everything else.

Delta all the way! Infidel is gay! Really gay!!!

Benchmade = Overpriced

The criteria you use to justify your preference are so subjective, so much just a matter of opinion, that your review is just tainted by them!

Benchmade lock up is much better.

Infidel is made for war and combat. The MT is made to look pretty which it is. Both are nice But BM for me...

Infidel has a stronger lockup, no question. This comparison s****. ;)

Dirac Delta or SOG Pentagon over the Benchmade any day

I prefer the infidel
