The deadlock still has the same mechanism as other otfs. The lack of blade play is only because there is a cone that wedges the blade down and to the side.
I have to say. A lot of people do not like otf knives. You have to know it has one spring. That spring has to open and close it. Same pressure both ways. It is much easier to push than to pull down. Glass breaker I've never used but would hope it worked if I came upon a wreck. Break glass cut seatbelt off. I don't know. If you're scared about it in your pocket and someone seeing it move to a red state... Hahaha
I think the true use of the so called glass breaker is a blunt force impact option, like using a kubaton. The OTF knives are designed for one hand opening and fighting. There not designed for a utilitarian knife.
Just tap a rolled up car window in the center with that glass breaker and tell me what happens...not smash it hard, just a firm tap, and that window will crumble into saw dust.
I think they’re cool and fun to play with just sitting around but yeah I carry a bench made mediator daily. Which in my opinion is the best automatic knife on the market right now. Perfect size and the safety is the sturdiest I’ve seen
You can bang that into a 2x4 with a wooden hammer , take it out by bending it back and forth , and it will still fire. Blade play is essential in any spring assisted knife to protect the internals. Trust me, knife designers and manufacturers know more than you.. However though, there should never be blade play like that ... You need to send that back.
I’ve always thought Microtech commands an oddly severe premium for what they are. No doubt they are well made but the prices have never made sense to me. Now after saying that, one of my most carried knives is a beautiful dark blue utx-85 with black hardware and a black standard single edge blade I got second hand. It’s a love hate thing. I think the price and the proprietary screws are stupid, but I own two of them. 🤔
Well you have to look at the process, materials and workmanship that these microtech knives go thru they are not your average chinese made knives if inferior cheap parts. They are made in the USA, made and hand built in house in their PA & SC factories and let me say this again they come with a limited lifetime warranty. Proprietary screws are there so you would be do it your selfers don't get into it and void the warranty think about it man.
@@1998gst4611 I find that any warranty on any knife that is voided by “getting into it” to be idiotic and repulsive. Every knife should be owner serviceable. If you’ve ever opened one up you’d see the mechanism is not particularly complicated or easy to harm.
Yikes. Didn’t realize these had so much blade play. I was just about to buy one on bladehq and that turned me off. I’m picky about stuff like that and for 700+ dollars it should have solid lock up.
I have over a dozen OTFs Including 4 microtechs Ive never seen one rattle like that. Or have that much play. Some play but not close to that. I think something is loose and maybe thats y his button is so strong The tention should be the same opening or closing.
Every OTF knives have a certain percentage of blade play even the solid lock up knives they still have play in them. Microtech knives is solid and still function with no flaws.
I carry a pistol and usually have a rifle nearby at home or in my trunk. I don't even see a knife as a weapon. Mine as used infrequently simply as cutting tools.
I’ve always said that about microtech knifes, ridiculously expensive for a knife that’s only designed for or good at stabbing people or being a cool conversation piece. But like you said, to each their own, if someone wants to go spend their hard earned money on a micro tech more power to them. You won’t catch me paying that amount of money for any knife.
then you always be ignorant what what kinda process these microtech knives go thru and the type of materials used. You need do the research before ranting about knife prices. Yeah microtech prices are expensive but its not for everyone but they do sell and this is why they are still in business since 1986 making the founder and owner Tony Marfione of Microtech knives very wealthy.
@@1998gst4611 no ! He’s not wealthy because he makes a great product. He’s wealthy because there is a bunch of idiots in this world that are willing to pay inflated prices for items that are not worth it. 🤷🏻♂️
The new Star Wars trilogy is heresy. Mandalorian is the redemption. Cool knife.

Dude the glass breaker does what its suppose to do its a glass breaker not blunt force weapon for crushing skulls if that's what your referring to?
@@1998gst4611 no I meant to hit certain points like top of the hand, temple ext.... .

Its funny OTF's got me into knives to begin with but now i would never put one in my pocket over a regular spyderco/BM folder

Microtech ultratech army ,nad PD are buying for 150$ or less. That knife only thing it cost.is cnc and blade that is 50$
Yea you can get some crazy knives in the $750 range. Still cool tho.
That is nothing compared to Microtech's Marfione custom built series which run into the thousands.

I would like to know what percentage of people buying this knife want to use it as a “cutter” . Not many I’m guessing.
No its a tactical knife use to do one thing to kill people with it other than just a cutting knife think about it.
Mine has gutted 4 dears , skinned countless critters, and filleted a ton of fish with only a leather strop to keep it sharp
I carry a pistol and usually have a rifle nearby at home or in my trunk. I don't even see a knife as a weapon. Mine as used infrequently simply as cutting tools.
Do they make the bounty hunter in a regular Troodon
I don’t believe they do, but I could be wrong

I have a knockoff of the gigantic Halo V and has no blade play. Maybe because it is single action
and maybe because its made in China right?
