    Excellent advice here, I would love to see how you sharpen your serrated blades! I think it's awesome to see an owner of a company take time out of his day to share his knowledge with his customer base.

    As a Firefighter, I rely on my knife to perform every single time. From cutting seatbelts and flattening tires during auto accident extrications, to opening up sheetrock and walls during a structure fire overhaul, I need my knife to open, cut, and close EVERY SINGLE TIME. Often, I can only do this one handed, and my Microtech performs flawlessly. Firefighters are known to tear apart anything in their path to complete the job. This knife makes that possible, EVERY SINGLE TIME. These knives simply won’t fail you when you need it most. I have complete faith that I can rely on this knife to help me save lives. PERIOD! I can’t think of a clearer way to say - you can trust these knives like no other. We are very hard on our tools, because every second counts in a rescue. I trust the engineering and materials used to build these tools. This knife is a tool, that works flawlessly, and still looks beautiful and perfect in its design. If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing one, rest assured that you will never regret buying a Microtech. I don’t believe there is a better EDC knife out there… at any price.

      My only addition is the glass breaker.
      How many times have you seen an officer wailing away with their collapsible baton on a car window?
      And as we both know with the modern car windows, you wind up in the water being able to get out of that car quickly can be a serious problem.

    I realize this is an older video. It's been very informative! I've waited for years and finally came to the point that I'm going to buy nice stuff. I had always wanted a utx-70. Not a big knife, and not super expensive, but it does cost a couple dollars. I'm at the range the other day and who it out to trim a cigar. Here I am styling with my new orange s/e. I've been using and sharpening knives for years. The knife BARELY could cut the cigar and damaged the cigar. I was sawing and getting no where. Disappointed, I remember at the fun shows, and the microtechs were razor sharp! I may have to send it back in for some factory love.
