As a former firefighter, I know what cutting through 1 3/4 inch hose line is like. Double jacketed isn’t easy to get through with any blade. That’s why I always carry one of Microtech’s blades in my pocket or on my belt at all times!

I think the knife gave YOU a torture test

Now I will laugh even harder at the people online who think Microtechs are just overpriced office knives.

I was holding off getting one of these, but your tests convinced me to wait no longer. Good job.

Proper heat treatment!😂

The hammering really made me cringe, and it's amazing the blade didn't come off the tracks throughout the testing. You have me convinced I need one. Thanks!

Decided to pull the trigger on an Microtech Ultratech from an authorized dealer today. I am happy to know that the quality is there for many years to come. Thank you for these videos. They make me appreciate the craftmanship of what actually goes into these knives.

Just bought my first Microtech Ultratech UTX-85 S/E and so far I am very pleased. Kept spending money on cheap OTF knifes and of course hearing these are the top of the line entry I had to check one out. Here’s to hopefully a long life of getting plenty of use from this beauty. You guys rock. Good stuff

Purchased a Troodon today. My first Microtech. Feeling even better about my purchase after seeing this video. Thank you for doing this torture test.

Wow...some high end folders don't even have this level of reliability, let alone an OTF. Excellent 👌 product.

Thanks for showing what microtech knives are capable of doing!

Damn i can't believe that knife is still going strong sure would love to carry one of those. Great video. You guys make awesome knifes hands down.

Awsome test , I don’t think many would hold up to that test , worth every cent .

These knives never fail the job. I will keep buying them as long as you’re in business!

This is best torture test I’ve ever seeing bar non, awesome video awesome knife!!!!!

This video sold me on buying a Microtech OTF vs benchmade or other brand. Bought my first Microtech today and excited to finally have one. Keep up the great videos.

Hell of a torture test. Great job!!

Microtech is the Lamborghini of knives it does not get any nicer unless you want to get a custom

Love my Combat..M390 DE ...thanks for sharing your videos. Great job

Tbh I always feel like products being reviewed are always higher quality than what you will actually get yourself, but something tells me this guy provides the real deal, I’m sorta surprised….

We need an updated torture test with the current steal that you are using for the Troodon.

I own about a dozen microtechs. Only have had 1 problem with one of my combats after about 2 to 3 years with thousands of actuations and microtechs customer service was quick and speedy. Got my knife back in around 2 weeks with a high speed rare microtech morale patch. This is the ONLY brand of knife I will carry period.

I never knew that you could beat on one of these. Figured the action would fail inside. Always figured they were a mechanical nightmare inside. Just got after a long search a new LUDT. For just EDC.

Just because you put in the work for me I went and bought myself one of these. Okay 2 of them. These knives and people like you are the reason to never buy foreign crap. We have to support American manufacturing and American workers.

Very impressed with the performance of this blade always liked the tanto design but this video has me thinking twice about it!!!

Good job. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Bought my second OTF first cobra tech it failed to launch after about 3 years no heavy usage just light cutting and I decided to upgrade to the microtech 702-3rd hera!! Definitely a huge and noticable upgrade!

I was trying to decide between you and Benchmade. You made me a believer in Microtech.

Just ordered mine today. Can't wait!

Awesome video! I've held off on buying an OTF auto for years. I always questioned their lock up, durability and amount of maintenance with all the moving parts. After recently handling a couple Ultratechs, I became more interested in an OTF but was still on the fence . Saw this video and it locked my decision. Glad you beat on the knife as I wouldn't with their price point. Coincidentally, also found a Combat Troodon the same day I watched this video I ordered that bad boy and now I'm geeked for Christmas! Woohoo!

I would definitely buy one. Great video!!

Great video I just picked up a Hellhound Tanto Combat Troodon and I love it!

Thanks for this incredible video. Makes me proud to own one. Now at least another one.

Very impressive. Great test video

I just purchased my first Microtech today. Dirac Apocalyptic I really hope it's all that everyone says it is. I put in a few weekends of OT to get it. Much love and mad respect from the Pacific Northwest

I love this vid! I have 2 MT CTs I carry regularly and a MT Stitch. Love em and the company!

It's just unbelievable how much can this knife take. Some fixed blade would be broken by now. Excellent video, thanks.

Amazing Video, I’ve cut a tire off the rim with my Benchmade Adamas and it’s no freaking joke difficult lol. That’s an awesome Knife. Microtech has an amazing Mil/Leo discount for any of there production knives. It’s a huge discount.

Son that is impressive!! Great video!!

Great torture test.

So your the one that started distressed look. Thanks for sharing your videos. Great job

Function with badass looks who could ask for more!!

Great show!

Great review. Thanks.

I love Microtech! I own several models. No Combat Troodon yet. I wonder if a Heretic Manticore would hold up like this one did?

The most honest review I've ever seen

Now that what I call a Microtech commercial!

im a glazier (glaziers 387 woot) and i use my glass breaker on my ultratech a lot! its effortless. love walking up on the new guy swinging a crowbar and just bouncing off, i just give it a little tap with the ultratech to pop it. but.. will an ultratech stand up to the nail test as well? EDIT: also ill say in my experience not all glass breakers are created equal. guys at microtech got it right!

i just got gifted one of these for christmas, i’ve been so careful with it, but glad i know it can hold up pretty well :)

It’s almost hard to believe that knife could endure some of those tests

Sir, thank you for review. That’s all I wanted to know about this knife. I will definitely buy it. And sorry for my English, it’s not as good as I would like.

Alot of fix blades would fail that test.

How would you sharpen a double edged with serration?

Damn you really tested this knife. Great video.

Only the best!!

I have been watching XRing on his channel for years. Found out about Microtechs and now watching so many MT videos with XRing in them. It's weird when the hobbies intersect like this.

Got to hand it too u ur really putting that thing through its paces. I didn't dream any otf could withstand that. I'd love any microtech but a. Its waaaay out of my price range and b. Living in the UK unless they come broken down u won't get it through customs. But if I ever afford 1 atleast I know now they're genuinely worth it. Thanku

Absolutely sick! Take my money!

This was awesome! You gotta respect a company that proves their products by beating the shit out of em. I'm always super careful when I use my microtechs(cause I'm not wealthy and the thought of snapping the tip off or gouging the edge on a $500-$1000 knife makes me sick lol), but it sure eases a mans mind a tad to know that expensive knife ain't just a fragile piece of junk if you needed to use it hard. Thank u guys!

好刀，请问那儿能买到

Damn that’s unreal. I know some quality folders and even fixed blades that wouldn’t have made it through that test! Makes me feel really good about EDC’ing my M390 Ultratech with the bayonet profile blade. I wish I could afford a Troodon but to be honest even the Ultratech really pushed my budget. Even knowing the extreme quality of these knives I kinda thought they were more of a light use knife. Not so much anymore.

Buying the gen 3 single edge for myself for my 30th birthday. Wicked knife

Insane! Love me some Elmax. Love me some Microtech.

Perfect testing👏👍👌

I just got the hera....I don't even want to cut anything with it much less drive it through a 2x4. Goodness. I do want an edc microtech. This maybe a good option

Can these be sharpened on a Work Sharp belt sharpener?

Thank you for the review you sold me on it.

Wtf man, that is crazy. I got a used ultra and I was scared to carry it because of the cost. How do they compare for hard use like the regular troodon? I don't plan on anything nearly as hard use as this video

Got the green combat troodon in M390...thing's a beast!

Oh man. Loved how the top half of the decapitated water bottle landed on the bottom half.

I saw one at a 5.11 for 450 and thought it's just for show. But holy shit this thing performs. I'll pick one up this week.

Holy crap. What a beast! Don’t think I’d EDC this. It would be a fun, show off knife for me.

Just picked up a troodon today. Love how tough it is. Still gonna be a safe princess though!

Looks like your in the PNW? Awesome video.

Impressive!

Did you find any chipping on the blade edge?

What’s their military/LE discount look like?

Great.. now i need one.

I found this knife in the middle of the road and stopped just to pick it up. Now im looking up videos about it lol

I have carried ultratechs for years and never had a issue nothing major any way I had a pocket clip come loose a few times but a little lock tight and no more problems

What a knife. I wonder if other OTF knives from other companies can do all this. Hammering through that 2×4 was wicked!

does burning your knife ruin the heat treat?

Will this be offered as a blem knife?

excellent

Still trying to find one in stock somewhere

I keep hearing people say something bad about MT knives. I have yet to find any problems with mine, I only own 4 at this time. 1 guy complained about a round metal edge that hit his hand when it was in his pocket. It wasn't something wrong with the knife itself. Its the way it was made. My first thought you want some cheese, probably. The hardest thing about my my combat troodon is the switch is hard to retract back. Guess what it is supposed to be. Anyway great video, you gave it a work out I will be carrying mine everywhere.

I have a manual socom elite in m390 and love it.

My man sold me when he became the last samurai with that innocent Dasani bottle 😂

Perfect video to watch right after purchasing one 10 minutes ago.

Might have been asked, but how does a CT fare when dropped? Say 4 - 5 ft onto hard surface? I drop sh*t all the time, I wondered with all the internal springy things a drop would mess it up. Thanks!

I would like a before and after of the innards.

I'm a knife designer/reviewer. I only use Rem Oil on my steel. I just ordered a Combat Troodon. I'll review it immediately once it's in and I'll add the link to your vid. I don't do "torture tests" on blades that I don't personally make as I think it's disrespectful to the maker. So I'm glad you did. I will definitely be sending people your way. My designs have sold on every continent except Antartica so I'm sure my review and other future vids on your knife will bring you some new buyers. Much respect and thank you for doing what you do.

Cut-resistant Kevlar gloves? Ok, so now how about a Microtech vs Kevlar test?

Can I buy that tested Combat Troodon?

God I love that Western North Carolina scenery.

Wait.. Is that tje same knife the whole time

how much does it cost?

Two things why you dont ship in Europe,and why these knifes are so expensive? If someone need to work with wood can buy an axe or a machete, i dont think would sacrify an expensive otf knife...why not get a morakniv?

Awesome knife

Man I want one so bad. They are sold out everywhere!
