I love that MT brought back the Socom Bravo and in a more accessible production version (even if its not made in the USA). Picked up the full size when it dropped which is just beautiful and flawless in build quality imo. have the mini in route and am pretty happy to have a more EDC friendly size offering as most of MT manuals are on the larger heavier end. Very much looking forward to getting it in hand any day now and hope MT makes some more “mini” versions of other models!
Agreed, cool that there is a smaller and more accessible/affordable option now. The size is perfect on it, although it’s a mini compared to the original, it’s still a full sized knife that’s easy to carry. I’m with you on hoping they do more of these ‘mini’ models. Thanks for tuning in! 👊🏼⚔️
Dude I appreciate the review. I accidentally bought the mini thinking it was the bravo I didn't even know they had a mini. Still think it's cool definitely going to keep it. I'm really just looking for a size comparison . I already have the elite. Thank you for doing this video no one is doing videos on the mini.
Thanks for checking it out! I don’t have the full size to compare it to yet or I definitely would. And I noticed that too, not sure why there hasn’t been much coverage on it.
Thanks! Plain Carbon fiber isn’t my favorite but I like the way it looks on this one. I think they are doing a DLC one but will still have the carbon fiber inlay I think. Thanks for checking it out!
Good luck, I handled another recently and it was good but have seen enough people mentioning it that it definitely seems hit or miss. Hope you get a good one! 🤞🏼
I owned the larger version and sent it back. The ergos were not my jam and the blade was super thick behind the edge. Great looking knife, but couldn't justify keeping it. I'm interested in this mini.
Nice review! Initially, I wanted the full size Bravo (Clip Point, Single Edge), but it's pretty much sold out. The DLC is available, but out of my budget. However, since I already have an Socom Elite, I think the Mini will make a great addition.
I put a size comparison in the second half of today’s video (on the log and jotter) to some common knives that get used for comparisons a lot and a Microtech Ultratech.
Oof, it’s definitely possible it will break in but I would probably start with loosening and/or oiling the pivot which will usually help but if not may be worth seeing if you can exchange it (just don’t mention you adjusted or disassembled it if you go that route as some places may not exchange it if you do).
My doesn't flick open for nothing. It takes an incredible amount of force to open it, then doesn't flick open. Do I have a defect? Any way to adjust it?
Sorry to hear that, you’re actually the second person that’s mentioned it so doesn’t seem like a one off. You can try backing the pivot off just slightly to see if maybe it’s just too tight. You can also disassemble it and oil the path of the detent ball on the blade. If neither of those work I would see if you can return/exchange/warranty it.
Tristate showing community love. I actually subbed the other day. Keep up the great work!
Thanx for the review. I have handled the knife and I also found it to have excellent quality and beautiful detail.
100%. Appreciate you tuning in! 👊🏼⚔️
Tristate has the voice of an angel! In distress

TRISTATE sent me. So awesome to share the love! Looking forward to checking out your content!
Thanks, appreciate you checking it out!
That looks great! I could go with another material for the scales. Great video Jake!

Just ordered mine! Seen all the complaints about the detent so hoping I get lucky. It’s on sale though and my introduction to Microtech.
Good luck, I handled another recently and it was good but have seen enough people mentioning it that it definitely seems hit or miss. Hope you get a good one! 🤞🏼
Noice! I'm looking at this one! Oh, & Tristate sends his love!

Interesting, I’d like to get my hands on the full size at some point but the mini is definitely more my jam too. Thanks for tuning in! 👊🏼⚔️
I love my microtechs. Very nice knife. Tristate tells me he likes it too.
Great video! Really been looking forward to checking this one out. Hopefully sometime in the near future
Thanks, it a good one. Appreciate you checking it out! 👊🏼⚔️

Thanks! I still need to grab the full size but really happy with the mini. Appreciate you taking a look!
tristate says hello. Love the knife.
Tristate sends his love!
Tristate EDC once fought a black bear with a socom bravo. He lost. Great videos my man!!!
love this model ! got 2 just because... my detent is a little too stiff.. hoping it will break in
Nice, I’ve heard a few people mention a stiffer detent but no one ever came back to update if it broke in over time. Hope it does for you!
Box is sick looking. Nice looking nice too. Tristate sent me.

Would be awesome if you compared it with the full size or another common carried knife.
Noted. I don’t have the full sized version unfortunately but could compare it to some other common knives.
@UncommonEDC Thanks, man.
I put a size comparison in the second half of today’s video (on the log and jotter) to some common knives that get used for comparisons a lot and a Microtech Ultratech.

@@UncommonEDC
You’re welcome!
Tristate and I need this bad azz microtech. Get some! Woo!!
The initial detent on mine makes it almost impossible to flick open. Do you think it will break in? Or should I return it because it is faulty?
Oof, it’s definitely possible it will break in but I would probably start with loosening and/or oiling the pivot which will usually help but if not may be worth seeing if you can exchange it (just don’t mention you adjusted or disassembled it if you go that route as some places may not exchange it if you do).
A little boy, Tristate approves!
Tristate said this is where the party was at
Love socom!!! Tristate
That microtech is gorgeous Tristate says howdy
Tristate made me come. 😂 I will get to watch you soon.
I’m hoping they’ll do the blackout signature series with these and I’ll get a mini to match the full size lol
That would be cool! 👊🏼⚔️
Sheeeeeeeeesh

Tristate sent me, but great stuff. I agree, the box is cool.
My doesn't flick open for nothing. It takes an incredible amount of force to open it, then doesn't flick open. Do I have a defect? Any way to adjust it?

@UncommonEDC thanks for the advice! I'll try that. Something is causing it to excessively bind.
@@UncommonEDC Update! It did loosen up after opening and closing a few hundred times. Now works perfectly.
Hey, Uncommon EDC Jake, you are live right now with Tim and Ben but we at Tristate EDC wanted to show some luv and maybe get you to 6K.
