    I was a big benchmade fan via my service, once I found microtech they are my new favorite! I have a UltraTech, LUDT, and the Monster MSI!

    Microtech did make a rifle and it didn't have a glassbreaker. Lol. I mean you could Def break glass and a lot more. They produced an American made version of the Steyr AUG , the stg 556

    In my limited experience, running OTFs dry is best. It's worked way better than light oil on my Hogue Counterstrike, and it's what G&G Hawk recommend on their deadlock.

  • @mooosey

    I own both and absolutely regret buying the infidel. You pay more for a knife of significantly lesser quality. Id never recommended the benchmade. If you're looking for an OTF the Ultratech is basically unmatched in quality for the price.

  • @dougr5379
    @dougr5379 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The shape of the Infidels handle and the positioning of the pocket clip and deployment switch are the best design for deployment and use of any OTF made. I do really like Microtech, just not for serious stealth situations.

    • @Jimmydeanmerica
      @Jimmydeanmerica  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have to agree when it comes to switch positioning. Gives really good tactile feel. Especially with the way they milled the button and body

    The infidel gets allot of hate. Mainly from knife guys. I know multiple people who have used one for many years. Including on deployment. No doubt it's an outdated design now. I would carry one and have no worries about reliability.

  • @eric_in_florida
    @eric_in_florida ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have one of each and give a slight edge to the Infidel. It's better ergonomically and fires easier because it is better broken in. Microtech doesn't mind if you open up their knives, they sell the tool after all, but if you get in there and screw things up it will void the warranty. Opening it for minor service or oiling/maintenance will not void the warranty.

    Microtech used to have good quality. I got a new genuine Dirac from an authorized dealer and the blade holes came crooked, the switch was loose, it dulled quickly and the belt clip was crooked. So sloppy I made my first TH-cam videos about it. Going with the infidel!
