The carriage was sitting on the rear locking lugs the first time. When you took the cover back off the carriage slid forward into place. 👍

I find it pathetic that Microtech can use lower quality materials like 6061 aluminum and have a blade wiggle, yet still charge $1,000+ on knives inferior to my Deadlock.

I heard you say it was different internally, thank you now I see. I don't like face switch otf's, but I like the double gate open and closed! The bottom gates were not on track with the track

Mega Cool OTF Knife Awesome Greetings Pirmin From Switzerland 🇨🇭

Thanks Carter... Something to remind you maybe a little lithium grease on the springs the next time you have it open, although you might not be able to hear the springs through the heavier walled stainless. 👍🤠

Entertaining video, thanks. Idea for one of your rant videos- see that eagle claw on your workmat? NO, that is not the Microtech 'claw' logo. It is the unit insignia of the US Army's 17th Airborne Division (Golden Talons). Heres the rant: HOW can Microtech register trademark that as their logo??? Guess i can register trademark the 2nd Ranger Bat scroll for myself; maybe you'd like to register the Presidential Seal.... thought that was illegal but IDK, its like soup on a plate- it just aint right

DON’T DO IT!!!

Cool. Glad you took it apart. Insides look good. If I remember correctly the original had a mechanism that one could adjust blade play, otherwise I like the double locks and the stainless 'scales".

These are limited right?

I really hope they make more

Never took apart that type of OTF. Actually seems easier than a top switch. The 2/2 lock gates are why its super strong just like the Maxace Neptune.

I would’ve loved a true replica of the old sand shark in a regular production run (if it’s a limited run there’s no way I can enjoy actually using it) BUT I do like that they improved the typical OTF design in someways. Hopefully the company will listen to us and give us a proper reboot! Thanks again for making this video!

Thank you brother!!

Was considering picking this up or an Pirahna Excalibur. Would you kindly offer a suggestion? They are both about the same price. I’ve heard the Excalibur uses very similar build to the original DKW SS but I’m unable to confirm with certainty. I figured I’d carry the newer purchase alternating with a Kershaw Livewire I recently ordered. Thank You!
