I strongly disagree. Currently Microtechs customer service sucks but ive noticed no difference in the QC since they moved from Florida. All of mine fire just as strong never had a misfire. If you CAN find an older one go for it but like ive said i havent noticed any differences.

I do however agree that Microtech is far better than the Infidel. The benchmade has significantly more blade play than any of the microtechs. For an EDC I would go with either the ultratech at ~3.5" or the slimmer but shorter and more expensive troodon ~3. Just my experience and .02

Stay Sharp.

Victorinox Tinker, the one MacGyver carried the most often (although he was also known to carry the Huntsman and Spartan as well). Also have a Victorinox Classic on the key chain as a admittedly diminutive backup. Would like to find an inexpensive multi-tool that I could customize a bit (i.e. that I could disassemble and fabricate a beer faucet wrench for)

Another one of my hobbies...
My everyday knife is usually a Boker. Dad passed away with cancer last April and in August some meth heads broke in my house while I was at work and stole every knife in the house (including those of my dad and my son's--even the hunting knives). We recovered more than half of them but for almost a month the Boker that was in my pocket that day was the only knife I had left. Dad had several German knives and custom made knives. He was a former meat cutter and loved Solingen steel. I really like Kershaw knives but only have a couple now.

I have carried this Spyderco for many years around town, in the woods and on the boat in fresh and salt water. It has been immersed in both fresh and saltwater numerous times and I have had no problems with it. I do rinse it off in fresh water after being in salt, and I try to keep it oiled, but that is just regular preventative maintenance. Similar to a gun, you gotta take care of it.

CPM S30V is much more resistant to rust than 8cr13MOV. It also commands a higher price too. Gotta love the Paramilitary.

its spring loaded which is kinda illegal here i think but oh well.

Its nice to see a well worn knife. Just a fun fact. Camillus has gone out of business and many people are now finding their blades to be collectable.

well worn, and its only 4-6months of use. But i regularly sharpen it becuase its really abused. Holding up very well though. Im impressed.

single bevel good to beat on **** with and really abuse.

well it is done. I picked up a Spyderco Endura 4 Full Flat Ground with the Gray handle. Might pick up another for a gift to my bro who is a cop in Gainesville, FL

Devanmc · 07-23-2011, 03:32 PM

i have a question. I do alright with my sharpener but lets be honest there is much better. None of this mechanical or newb v junk. I want to do it myself.
