Cool video, I was interested to see the inside of a dirac after taking apart an ultratech. By the way the the blade isn't actually under tension when in the open or closed position. Its only under tension when you push or pull on the firing button, when the little ramps on that plate above the blade push down on the locks the spring tension is released which moves the blade in or out. A better term I think would be "floating the locks" because you're causing the blade to stop in between either of the locks which is why it moves freely, it makes it easier to disassemble but not any more dangerous

I just received the bronze finish version of this and it is one saWHEET knife! I love the bronze color contrast and the action feels a bit easier than on my other MT knives. This is a good size blade - I measured mine at exactly 3.70" and SBS to my Infidel the blade is just at 2/10ths shorter, but wider, and maintains a broader span until near the tip when it curves in to a razor sharp tip. What really sets Microtech DA OTF knives apart? Look at the size of those blade locks! They measure 0.152" thick with perfectly radiused ends, mated to perfectly milled recesses! That is the heart of the design...the more tip pressure applied, the more the lock is under pressure to remain locked, and being extra thick and of proper heat-treated materials, they don't fail.

Good Microtech maintenance video. I never seen anyway take a Microtech apart on camera before.

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

I haven’t done it too many times myself until now. Now that I have the Microtech Tool Kit, I plan to do more at-home maintenance on my Microtechs. It really makes a lot of difference.

@locksmithdb5987 2 года назад

Microtech suggests using Rem (Remington) oil but you can use whatever you want. The first Microtech I bought, I used grease and it made the action worse.

@briangeiswite4452 Год назад

This isn't for the action. It's just to silence the spring. Don't put it on the slider as that will make it sluggish and sticky

@MrRaditz182 2 года назад

Is there any suggestion is I don't have the tool? I hate the sound and it's coming out of my combat troodon

@imaginehydreigons5377 2 года назад

How long did you have that knife? Hows that spring doing? Did you have to replace it? I was on the fence on getting these because of the spring

@greyman1363 2 года назад

Take a tooth pick and jam a piece of cotton into the spring lube the spot with the tiny piece of cotton and it will never sing again

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

Interesting fix. I haven’t tried that but I could see that working.

I would seriously try to fix it for you for free if you pay for shipping both ways. I like taking knives apart and fixing them.

White lithium grease on washers with a drop of oil on top makes PB washer knives' actions better than some bearing knives.... since you have a tube handy.....

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

I’ll have to try that!

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

Probably not food safe though.

@gamingtogeth3r Год назад

Does anyone know if the Dirac Delta uses the same spring as the UT?

@TripleEEDC Год назад

Good question. I did not compare them.

@MySickstring 2 года назад

I may be wrong, but from what I know, The spring and blade are not under tension either deployed or stowed. there is no need to take it “off track”. The tension comes from the spring only while you are actuating the switch. Once the blade is fully deployed or stowed, there is no tension on the spring or blade. You can also buy a knockoff version of the tool on eBay, Walmart website and even Amazon for like $25.

@somerandomchd2252 2 года назад

if you watch the official microtech dissassembly videos they do tell you to take it off the track before opening

Battle worn is pointless. Use it . Believe me it will look like that if you use it

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

I like battle-worn because it evenly distributed wear and hides additional wear. I get that knives will look worn with use but disagree that it will look the same as battle-worn. Also, I have a pretty large rotation of knives, so even if I use them, the wear patterns take a crazy long time to develop, so I do like battle-worn for that reason as well.

@kds471 2 месяца назад

Battle worn means you can skip the heartbreak of the first chip of paint or parking lot fumble ;).

@fugoogle5802 2 года назад

Tool cost as much as the dam Dirac knife

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

Do not put shrink around the spring

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

You don’t shrink it. Just put it around and leave it. And I wouldn’t recommend it over this. Shrinking it will ruin the action.

@ThomasConnolly 2 года назад

Also what annoys me is that Microtech uses proprietary/unique hardware, so in order to properly disassemble your Microtech OFT you need to buy an expensive Microtech driver/bit set to work with their annoying proprietary hardware☹

@Tiralful 2 года назад

You’re right, and it’s not like it’s on Amazon for $11 Prime. Oh wait….

@ThomasConnolly 2 года назад

@@Tiralful Also, I can't stand the tacticool glass breaker that Microtech puts at the end of the handles on most of their knives🤨🤢🤮🤬 I wish that Microtech sold a replacement screw or something to replace the glass breaker while still securely holding the pocket clip at the end of the handle!!!

@ThomasConnolly 2 года назад

What really annoys the hell out of me is the fact that Microtech dosen't just heavily grease the spring of their OTF knives during assembly which would completely eliminate the tinging sound that's eventually caused by the ungreased spring. But then Microtech clearly states that if you disassemble your OTF it voids their warranty🤬 Microtech OTFs are expensive and at these price ranges I would expect better fit/finish and overall attention to detail. I mean it would literally take just a few extra seconds to grease the springs during the assembly process!!!

@TripleEEDC 2 года назад

Too much grease can attract and trap lint and debris as someone I was arguing with about this pointed out. He was arguing grease was a bad idea because of that and I was arguing grease was a good idea because if you use it sparingly it shouldn’t be an issue and if it turns into one, you can just open it up and clean it (since the average owner couldn’t have greased it without being able to open it up).

@ThomasConnolly 2 года назад

@@TripleEEDC A $300 plus dollar OTF shouldn't have a tinging spring sound to it, the solution is for Microtech to just grease the spring a bit more during the assembly process!!! You're going to have to open your Microtech eventually anyway if you carry it a lot, to either oil or grease it or to clean out any lit and dust inside it. Personally, I completely disagree with Microtech's own instruction for cleaning out one of their OTF knives because Microtech suggests to just spray Rem Oil into it then use compressed air and cotton swabs. But it's a known fact that Rem Oil is a petroleum-based product and when Rem Oil eventually evaporates off it leaves behind a tacky/sticky residue that will really affect the action of any OTF!!!
