After buying my wife a UTX-85, I decided I needed an Ultratech, it was delivered last week.

Quote HistoryQuoted: After buying my wife a UTX-85, I decided I needed an Ultratech, it was delivered last week. https://i.imgur.com/Mxx79kf.jpg Very nice. After fondling my 3, I decided on the UTX85 for an EDC pocket carry. In other words. Just spent an additional 258.00 for a black body & drop point blade. |

This thread has convinced me I need a UTX-85 S/E but I'm gonna hold out for an OD with stonewashed or an apocalyptic blade finish.
Being patient is not easy. |

FWIW, I read earlier in this thread about poor customer service @ Microtech. My recent experience was very good, just to provide perspective.
I broke a small piece off the tip of my UTX-85 doing something stupid that would have wrecked any knife. I filled out a request for service ticket on their website asking if I could send it in and *PAY* for them to fix the blade, since I broke it. They repaired it, sharpened it, cleaned it, and returned it within a week of me sending it off, and didn't charge me a nickel. I treat that UTX-85 like a tool. |

 I admit I’m a fan. 2 Troodons (best EDC imo) UTX-85 and UTX-75. Right now I use the 85 for work, the SE Troodon for fishing and hunting, the DE for Saturday night and the UTX-70 for Sunday mornings. |

Does anyone know if there will be any other finishes released fir the SOCOM alpha? The black and stonewash is available now but that’s hands down my least favorite color combo. I’m looking for the part serrated spear point in almost any other color other than black and stonewash lol

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, settled might not be the right word. It was certainly a bit more $$$ than a utx-85. Why are the Troodons more expensive than ultratechs? Troodons have a lot more milling involved. The action also seems more finely tuned but I don't know if that is just my imagination. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: By "off brand" do you mean "patent infringing, copy"? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My UTX-85 next to an off brand OTF. Having owned both, you can definitely tell the difference in MT quality. Most notably in weight, action, and ability to maintain a sharp edge. https://live.staticflickr.com/787/40694285305_bc5e7f5c57_c.jpg Benchmade is typing...

Now that Remoil is difficult to find, would Breakfree CLP be an acceptable substitute to lube the MT OTF’s?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. All it needs is a drop or so in the blade guide/groove. Open and close it 10x, and hit it with compressed air.

I would look into using Hoppes 9 aerosol lube rating oil, it’s just as thin as Rem-oil. IMO, CLP is a little too thick most likely for this application |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice - so the combat troodon is roughly the same dimensions as a 1911 magazine? Good choice on the TRS, too. I’ve carried one for years now. @Mall-Ninja sorry just saw this months late the Combat Troodon is about the size of a 1911 mag. If I remember correctly, I actually carried it once in a leather mag pouch holder I have |

Place holder for incoming Combat Troodon.
I was playing with my friends CT Marifone and was highly impressed. Along with his Marifone 85 and 70. Nice knives. But I'm currently a poor. Normally EDC a BM Phaton OTF given to me or an 810 Contego and occasionally a CRK Uzizizizziizfjif something or other. So this CT will be a bit different! |

Here's all my microtech's that I have. The plan is to get more but I haven't yet.
These 3 are all Ultratech's in each camo color. They were all made in 04/2017. Gray and tan camo are within 20 Serial numbers and the green is 1k off. Elmax blade steel on all 3. So yeah I bought these all in 2017 when they came out and haven't gotten anymore.... I've also never carried these thinking they might be collectible one day.

copy paste from GD
Reiterate, not thrilled on how dull it is. Got my Combat Troodon in today, first Microtech. Embarrassingly dull for a $500+ dollar knife. Not impressed. Action is incredibly difficult to retract, hopefully it gets a little easier. My collection of folder has grown a bit. Before you say anything GD, the 810 is the only BM I purchased

Anyone send the MT in for a reduction in force it takes to retract more than deploy? When I send it in I would almost like them to idk swap out springs or something. It's gotten eraser with oil, but not there yet. Need more finger strength apparently.

I think a lot of people lack dexterity and strength in thumbs these days. They are pretty stiff springs. Just use it and see if it loosens or email Jason at microtech and see what he says. |
