what a company man comment.

Yeah I laughed when he said that. If the thing was assembled then there’s obviously a way to get it out. They sure didn’t forge the handle around the blade. 😂

Rem Oil is the only thing I’ve found that will work on my Ultratech. I used two different kinds of Lucas gun oil, and some Hoppes oil that may have been for fishing reels but I’m not 100% sure. All three of those stopped it up and it would fail to fire nearly every time, despite only putting a couple of drops at the tang and wiping off the excess.

Oh ok cool! Thank you, I wasn't sure.

I was looking for this. I was thinking, if the blade can't come out, how did they get it in there? Didn't make sense logically.

THEY KNOW

Good thing it's really not under tension lol. The spring rests when in or out only gets real tight as you engage or disengage the blade.

The Late Boy Scout You may be interested to know they are available on Bladeops today, I just saw their video saying they got a few.

Im curious of this myself! Just got my 1st Microtech: The $802 Combat Troodon Mandalorian edition M390 (more like $900 after tax and shipping), and honestly, i feel i overpaid by $300-$400. Not super impressed for the price. Came with a generic cardboard box, clear plastic bag, advertisement and card saying it was inspected by someone that scribbles their initials! No bag, no cloth, no special cardboard outer box even. But i did order from Blade HQ, so i know it's 100% legit! Anyway, curious if the internals are the same as well. I just got my screw bit, so i guess ill find out here shortly, when i decide to do exploratory surgery!

@@jun1orbaitor44 Well the regular Combat Troodon is about $500 I believe, so roughly $300 - $400 of that was in the special edition paint and such. The regular versions of these knives are meant to be used and used hard, so they don't come with anything special like a bag or cool box. I myself just bought a Kabar and it came in a standard cardboard box with a plastic bag and a piece of paper. Doesn't take away from the fact it's a great knife that is meant to withstand the worst of the worst.

@@Trippsy05 You're reaching by saying $300-$400 is for paint, the same paint is available on lower end models that sell for around $300-$400. I've bought dozens of medium end knives, never a Microtech before this, and im personally not impressed. What i paid for was the M390 blade, that was what the price bump was for. But $300 more?! The button was very slightly loose when i 1st got it, as well as the blade being very slightly wobbly, very slightly. After a month of playing with it here and there after work, the button is super loose and the blade wiggles now. To make it even better, MT uses a proprietary screw pattern, so i had to order a special tool to just be able to lube the action! And if you want a MT branded tool, its not cheap. I paid $20 for an Etsy off brand one that's about the size of a 1/8"- 1/4 square drive socket. Ive had 2 Kabars myself, and the packaging is almost identical to this blade, except Kabars come with sheaths! AND COST 1/4 TO 1/8 OF THE PRICE!! I also have Civivi's, Boker's, Kizer's, an Esee 5, CKRT's, TOPS, Mcusta and lower brands like Schrade, SOG, Ontario, Cold Steel, Gerber and more. They range from $25 to $350. They're made from steels between 1095- S35VN, and a couple M390's. I know low to mid grade knives, with a small dabble getting into higher end. This Microtech knife i got was overpriced, by a decent margin. This is a Special Edition blade from a high end manufacturer, it isn't meant to be used hard. It's a Collector's item and should've been packaged as such. Yes, it still can handle major abuse, but the point is this specific model or line is a Collector's item, so dress it up, especially when there's no difference from models that are $300-$400 less except the blade steel, in which case those lower models still have expensive "super steels" as their blades!

perhaps it's due to the thermal shrinkage of the metal components when it gets colder but that's just an educated guess

Thank you for your comment on a nearly 10 year old video, I hope to see you in another decade. 👍

it would be insanely hard to pull the trigger but yeah its probably possible

Watch the video made by Microtech themselves. The guy puts the nozzle from a can of Remoil in the front and just hoses the whole thing down until it’s coming up out of the opening. Then he shakes it out and wipes off the excess abs that’s it. And that’s right from the manufacturer.

If its a microtech it probly just needs maintenance. If cheep one it could just need maintenance but also could have a bent or broken piece or more.

What did you end up getting?

@@Jacob_6420 my local gun store had a signature series ultratech on sale.. so I grabbed it!

@@_DST0NE_ sweet man, I have never owned a high quality knife or spent more than 50 bucks. Tax money hit and I shouldnt have but ordered a utx70 and utx85! Cant wait to get them

Message microtech, you can buy a new blade for from $65-$85

Can I ask what was wrong with yours? Mine retracts great, but only fully deploys 8 out of 10 times (maybe). Then, I have to manually pull out the blade to lock it open and it works again for a while.

Chris Brady Chris Brady Same problem I grind some points and add ducktape to one place and start to work fantastic ..until the day when the main spring broke ..Now its totaly crap.The whole idea and knife is stupid.If u want lighting fast opening knife get some with emerson flipper .It goes ready out of the pocket faster than these autos because u have two actions with the auto ( grab out of the pocket and press the button) with the emerson type blade u have only one action..I am pissed of these now.Good luck

They’re not hard use knives. They’re more for just general EDC stuff like cutting boxes and rope or whatever. They’re also, especially the dagger edged ones, self defense weapons. These aren’t knives you want for trekking out in the woods or in a survival situation but in reality no folder is. You’d want a sturdy fixed blade. That’s why even though I ALWAYS have a nice folder or my Microtech in my pocket I carry my ESEE Izula 2 as well in a horizontal cross draw setup on my weak side.

iron or non-stainless steel will contaminate stainless and cause it to begin rusting

vxgas Naw. I've seen people stab these into treated wood before. The stress points are all steel. The locking mechanism is steel, the steel blade is inside the steel and aluminum frame, etc.

+sherman614 I've even seen the cheap chinese ones hold up to being HAMMERED through MDF and work perfectly fine afterwards.

yep but the spring start to wear relatively fast with a cheap chinese. I don't really recommend those.

where did u find the replacement spring ? you contacted the seller ?

Idk maybe some other clones have better springs, but mine is thin, kinda loose with twisted extremities just after 2 month of use. it misfires 80% of the time.

is there a specific name for that tipe of spring or not?

Use the spring from a pilot pen 🤣

да, мужик красавчик. я тоже сейчас смотрю. купил уже торксы т15 чтобы биту выпилить, но что то пока ленюсь, думаю хренотень такую же проще замутить
