I just got the Dirac and Dirac Delta in those colors!!! Absolutely love the combo in that color way. I found the Dirac in the November and the Dirac delta in December. I picked them up because you mentioned they might be discontinued in one of your live streams lol.
I've got a question. Do all otf's have a mechanism that stops the blade if it comes into contact with something? Even something like a piece of paper. Or, is it just the cheap ones ?
Recently found my perfect Microtech as well! UTX85, signature series, Carbon Fiber top with bronze apocalyptic treatment and Drop Point blade. Absolute gem! S/N pretty low at 081 too
Nice. I'm looking at utx85 with tan g-10 and bronzed hardware with a s/e blade....looks really good. Honestly what I really want is a Combat in blue with black hardware and dlc tanto or dlc single edge....waiting.
I live down the street from Microtech. It’s really tempting just to knock on the door over there (lightly)and ask for a tour. I haven’t pulled the trigger on an OTF as of yet. Could happen any day.
nice! i remember back when i didn't have anything more than a para 3 and i almost pulled the trigger on the dirac bronze, i regretted it. I did finally get a black and brown one though.
Love this! Im not much of a collector but I'll spend some real money on a nice knife every couple years.. the most recent being a Small regular crk 31. Pretty much my ideal edc knife and I see being satisfied with it for quite a while. Actually my second crk.. first was a small insingo 21 with micarta inlays. Was great but I wasn't really feeling it overall.. I really just wanted a small, plain drop point but the insingo was the only one available locally at the time. It ultimately didn't stick around long and it took me 6 years to get the one I wanted. I have always wanted a nice otf though and the right micro tech is twoard the top of my list. Just has to be the right one.
Me likey!!! Love that it's sleeker than the first version. Didn't buy a single knife for 2021, think I'll splurge a bit now. Have to agree with the perfect OTF.
I have the exact same one in the normal Dirac with a birthdate of 12/21. I got it from eknives. It’s way better than my UTX85. It was $315 tax and shipping included. I didn’t know it was rare lol.
Sweet. I got the same one. Really like it. Got mine from Bladeops. Got a combat troodon single edge in the same format as well. Going all black and bronze! Base for Combat now...from what I've seen online going 520 or so.
Hey MC I just picked up one of the similar knives in the same litter LOL 12/2021 S/N 5293. I too thought they discontinued the Dirac Delta but apparently just a updated version mine is a 227-1t and my second choice but I enjoy it just the same I want to get the same except with the D/E Serated. This one popped up on NC blade and I grabbed it. Definitely enjoy the larger ergos.
Amazing Knife, enjoy bro! I’m an OTS fan, just my thing, and planning to pick up Microtech Sticth (huge Borka fan also) when I’m in Vegas for Shot Show. Show one at PVK Knife and Tool in Vegas if I can’t find one at shot show. If I pick it up, I’ll send it to you unless you’ve reviewed it already
Great piece and congrats! I just found an Ultratech bayonet in M390 in the exact specs I have spent the last five years looking for so I know the feeling.
Nice knife ! Bought one a couple months ago from Aventuron. Looking to part ways. Little on the larger side. Exactly the same color scheme. Storm Troodon D/E
Of course, as soon as I saw this video I automatically reached for my ultratech Lol mine also has M390 but it's a Tanto blade 😅 which I don't mind so thanks for the inspiration for me to pull the trigger.
Well, I should have chosen my words more carefully. The Deadlock Model C is still far and away the ultimate OTF overall, but it's a custom. The Dirac Delta is probably my favorite profuction** OTF 👍
They are very attractive but not so practical. The DE blade is pretty bad for EDC. The angle to the spine is very large and this makes them about the least slicey knives you can buy. They can get sluggish even form pocket lint and fail to fire. I don't use mine. Vastly prefer the Bugout or EDC.
Oh yeah! Find the Halo that you want! I have one but it’s kinda boring... thinking about selling it. Cause I’d rather have a Stitch and a Combat Troodon. An it’s just a little to big to carry in a state that say their illegal.. soo I gotta carry the smaller otfs if I ever get busted with on on me.. I’ll just say I didn’t know!!! Lol
Personal critique from me... Every time I try to watch a video on this channel, I always see myself skipping more and more time to get onto the subject. Now it got to 2 minutes. And even if I know I maybe missed few initial sentences, I'm certainly not going back. That intro, which is always the same, just kills me.
I have a 1500 knife I use all the time. Thinking something out loud doesn't make it true. What you're really saying is "that knife is too expensive for ME to use"
You don't have to take my word for it. I've got a short of me using it. I hate to break it to ya, but most people who own expensive knives eventually use them. It doesn't have to make sense to you. It's just factually true. Sorry 🤷♂️
"Cutting stuff with a $1500 Japanese Pocket Knife" is the name of the short. The knife is the Rockstead Higo II. I still own and use it... along with many, many other knives. You can look it up and see for yourself, or you can just sit there being dumb and mad. I don't really care.

That's gorgeous! Microtechs bronze looks fantastic and it suits that knife well. Very tacti-classy 👌
Agree that the Dirac Delta is the perfect OTF. Love the addition of the lines in the newer models and the bronze is HEAT.
I just got the Dirac and Dirac Delta in those colors!!! Absolutely love the combo in that color way. I found the Dirac in the November and the Dirac delta in December. I picked them up because you mentioned they might be discontinued in one of your live streams lol.
I've got a question. Do all otf's have a mechanism that stops the blade if it comes into contact with something? Even something like a piece of paper. Or, is it just the cheap ones ?
All dual action OTFs have that. Single action OTFs will not stop unless the object overcomes the power of the spring
Finally pulled the trigger on this exact one. I cannot wait for it to come, this will be my first OTF. Tristaredge had two left and I got one of them.
Where did you order it from! I legit cant find them anywhere online?😔😭
@@ericvanslot5409 I got it from Tristaredge
I’ve EDCed an Ultratech for 6 months now, love it to death
Got the bronze ultratech and man I love that color on it. Looks beautiful with the contrast compared to the black aluminum frame. Microtech is great.
The bronze on my ultra tech is a lot brighter bronze. I’ve always been curious how the apocalyptic bronze would look in person
I received a UTX-85 in the bronze finish with Apocalyptic blade for a Christmas present, love it!
Recently found my perfect Microtech as well! UTX85, signature series, Carbon Fiber top with bronze apocalyptic treatment and Drop Point blade. Absolute gem! S/N pretty low at 081 too
Nice. I'm looking at utx85 with tan g-10 and bronzed hardware with a s/e blade....looks really good. Honestly what I really want is a Combat in blue with black hardware and dlc tanto or dlc single edge....waiting.
Just ordered my first microtech. Haven't even got it yet. I'm very excited though. Utx85 sig series
Is the Scarab still in production?? If so, where can I find one??
No jokes. Lost of words. I love the tecs. All of there bronze and apocalyptics are beautiful.
Where do you get it ?
I love my utx-85 dagger, plain on one edge and full serrated on the other edge
I live down the street from Microtech. It’s really tempting just to knock on the door over there (lightly)and ask for a tour. I haven’t pulled the trigger on an OTF as of yet. Could happen any day.
Just got the UTX-70 CA in bronze, love the color
I too am looking for a specific Dirac unicorn. I know it existed for a time…hoping they’ll do another run.
Just got this same color combo for the dirac from bladehq. Love it.
where did you get the hellhound ive been dying to get my hands on one. regardless the price
nice! i remember back when i didn't have anything more than a para 3 and i almost pulled the trigger on the dirac bronze, i regretted it. I did finally get a black and brown one though.
We need the side by side comparison
Love this! Im not much of a collector but I'll spend some real money on a nice knife every couple years.. the most recent being a Small regular crk 31. Pretty much my ideal edc knife and I see being satisfied with it for quite a while. Actually my second crk.. first was a small insingo 21 with micarta inlays.

I have always wanted a nice otf though and the right micro tech is twoard the top of my list. Just has to be the right one.
I was just looking at that one. Was trying to avoid buying it. Now I'm going to get it. Love that color combo.
Recently got a UTX 70 ca legal in bronze. Its cute and bad ass. Renewed my love of Microtechs.
Me likey!!!
Love that it's sleeker than the first version. Didn't buy a single knife for 2021, think I'll splurge a bit now.
Have to agree with the perfect OTF.
I got the ultratech d/e bronzed, love it
Mega Cool Microtech Dirac Delta Switchblade Otf Knife
The bronze wears off easily. I have a ultratech death card and I baby the knife like no other but bronze started wearing super early.
I have the exact same one in the normal Dirac with a birthdate of 12/21. I got it from eknives. It’s way better than my UTX85. It was $315 tax and shipping included. I didn’t know it was rare lol.
Id love one of these that’s bronze but with od green like the Ultratech they have!
How about the microtech venomtech?
First I wanted a heretic, then a recon, I think I'm dead set on the dirac or dirac delta now. Just need to find one
Sweet. I got the same one. Really like it. Got mine from Bladeops. Got a combat troodon single edge in the same format as well. Going all black and bronze! Base for Combat now...from what I've seen online going 520 or so.
That color combo is gorgeous!
Hey MC I just picked up one of the similar knives in the same litter LOL 12/2021 S/N 5293.

This one popped up on NC blade and I grabbed it. Definitely enjoy the larger ergos.
The best looking microtech, always wanted it but little expensive for me
Anyone know why the scarab is so expensive compared to the ultratech/Dirac/etc? Always seemed like a bit of a pricing anomaly to me.
Amazing Knife, enjoy bro! I’m an OTS fan, just my thing, and planning to pick up Microtech Sticth (huge Borka fan also) when I’m in Vegas for Shot Show. Show one at PVK Knife and Tool in Vegas if I can’t find one at shot show. If I pick it up, I’ll send it to you unless you’ve reviewed it already
I have the normal dirac in that. I've wanted the delta but can't justify that.
I love it! I have the merlot and bronzed d/e combat troodon. Have you seen the mini halos?
Great piece and congrats! I just found an Ultratech bayonet in M390 in the exact specs I have spent the last five years looking for so I know the feeling.
Hi! I don’t see the bronze color ? Like the one you have.
I like the bronze too bud!
Can't get them in the UK 😔
Man I have been Searching for the last 2 days for a dirac Delta with no luck i did find the dirac if you know were one is at let me know
I have both, prefer the Dirac. Can't say why, usually like the slightly bigger version of most all knives but this Dirac is near perfect for me:)
That's in my list, picked up the ultratech 2 just this week. Beauty of a knife
Its your lunch, that is all over your fingers 😁
Nice knife ! Bought one a couple months ago from Aventuron. Looking to part ways. Little on the larger side. Exactly the same color scheme. Storm Troodon D/E
Nice. I still like your combat troodon with that sick-ass tanto.
Nice pickup. Another knife to add to my wishlist.
Awesome man. Absolutely beautiful.
Aweosme knife! I got the same color way and blade in an Ultratech.
Of course, as soon as I saw this video I automatically reached for my ultratech Lol mine also has M390 but it's a Tanto blade 😅 which I don't mind so thanks for the inspiration for me to pull the trigger.
You rolled the dice and licked it off your thumb 🤣🤣🤣 god that killed me. Done that before
Haha the sound effects you make remind me of when I peel plastic off a new phone
This or the Hawk Deadlock Model B (or C)?
Well, I should have chosen my words more carefully. The Deadlock Model C is still far and away the ultimate OTF overall, but it's a custom. The Dirac Delta is probably my favorite profuction** OTF 👍
That’s what I like to hear 👍
Ffffffuuuck I was literally looking for one of these on Friday lol I could only find the smaller version of the bronze
Found out my perfect knife is the LUDT in m390. I bought it and thought “If I don’t like it, I’ll just sell it” 🤣 now I don’t carry anything else.
Bronze is the way to go!
Nice enjoy. Illegal in Canada we might cut our fingers Lol.
If it is I’m gonna get it!!!!! That’s beautiful!!!!!
Beautiful knife, I just had the solcom bravo delivered its really well made but it still feels like a microtech clone
Fuck me. I didn’t know I needed this. I have a plain jane Dirac, but now I’m hunting for a signature series Dirac delta.
I think I just saw one of those on BHQ
They are very attractive but not so practical. The DE blade is pretty bad for EDC. The angle to the spine is very large and this makes them about the least slicey knives you can buy. They can get sluggish even form pocket lint and fail to fire. I don't use mine. Vastly prefer the Bugout or EDC.
Never been much of an OTF fan.........But thats probably the only OTF I really want lol
very cool and the giometry💯👍❤️👍❤️
The card slaps, then hit the thumbs up!
their bronze is attractive.
I like those OTF's and the shape of the blade but it's to much for my budget , but damn does they look nice.
good knife
You probably smoked a joint 😂🤣😆 cheers 🍻
Oh yeah! Find the Halo that you want! I have one but it’s kinda boring... thinking about selling it. Cause I’d rather have a Stitch and a Combat Troodon. An it’s just a little to big to carry in a state that say their illegal.. soo I gotta carry the smaller otfs if I ever get busted with on on me.. I’ll just say I didn’t know!!! Lol
My Excalibur…. This gives me hope
Soooooo nice!!!!
OH MY. 😍
Hey MC!
Well, that didn't take long to be out of stock LOL
I always think it's a little funny to worry about the blade Steel in daggers. Are you really stabbing people so much that you wear your edges down?
Regardless of what dagger style blades are made for, most people EDC them for, you know, general utility. You get 2 separate cutting edges.
Microtech fans having protein powder on their fingers, that tracks lol
The Bronze looks killer/sexy!
Nice Microtech flex M|C
Nice
Looks like ya just ate a ice cream sandwich. Lol
Your hand modeling days are over! Haha
hi
Like a kid in a candy 🍬 store, lol.
I slept on it and now it’s out of stock. IM AN IDIOT!
Sheeeeeesh 😫🤲
And the list just keeps getting longer....
Found one lol

Personal critique from me...

Can i get one logical explanation why any knife costs as much or more than your average hand gun?
th-cam.com/video/6YeqMB41JEE/w-d-xo.html
And here's an older video that explains some of the various price tiers
th-cam.com/video/xyCGl3tYs2g/w-d-xo.html
For the price of those knifes they better sing and dance do something other than open and close No thanks
I don’t understand paying that much money for a knife just to look at. Nobody is going to actually use a knife that expensive.
I have a 1500 knife I use all the time. Thinking something out loud doesn't make it true. What you're really saying is "that knife is too expensive for ME to use"
@@metal_complex yeah, ok buddy.
