@ ขอบคุณ 🙏

@@dennisduran8500 the spring is in my box of parts, I just don’t have it installed. No rattle with this particular button anyway so it isn’t really needed

@@yuriistetsenko5948 completely fair perspective. I’ll agree that there’s no real negatives to some slight play, but the knife just feels sturdier with no blade play which makes my monkey brain happy. And you could always tune the ZBT to have just the slightest blade play and I’m sure it would be dead reliable (or at least as reliable as any normal OTF)

@@notsimplybrent glad I was able to help! Interesting they seem to be sending so many out with blade play. Although may just be a loud minority

MT is printing $500 ,$1000 etc bills. And has been for years..Can’t be slowing down the printing presses for fine tuning . $5000 ones maybe.but…

@@Allensanity thanks! Enjoy and I’m happy you’re liking it

@@user-jv4ic8rh4d awesome, let me know how you like it!

@@bsodmike it’s the first time in recent memory I’ve felt a Microtech was worth the retail price. I think it’s well worth the $389 I paid. This ball clip has a nice amount of tension instead of the usually crazy tension the ball clips have. Size of the knife is great for me, and the zero blade play is fantastic once adjusted properly. I haven’t had a Gen 3 Scarab 2, but from what I hear those are basically an easier to deploy version of the previous generation. I don’t think those have the ZBT mechanism yet.

@ thanks for clarifying that. I though Gen 3 was the same as ZBT. Good to know!

@@Thomas-ni1jn I think they’re cool. Would I carry this as a primary means of defense? Definitely not. But they’re fun knives and I think dual action otfs are pretty useful from an “ease of use” standpoint at least

@nfitzsim Right on, I can respect that. I still use a Zippo 🙂 Take er easy

@@Psyzzer I’d be interested. I did stab the tip into a 2x4 without any failure but who knows if repeated impacts would make it fail. If you guys want I can give it a shot

@@nfitzsimn. Don’t risk messing it up. I wouldn’t

@@SteppingR I dig the 2 springs. Better design from an engineering standpoint, less stress on each spring and each spring tab

@@nfitzsim or ....ZBT need more opening power also , to do it reliable?!

@@SteppingR I’d say yea with the current ZBT mechanism it needs more force to reliably lock out. Downside with that is you’re going to wear away at the mating surfaces with higher force impact. So it’ll require more frequent tuning and adjustment.

@@Elmax17.5dps thanks man appreciate it

@@EvilSSP I’m thinking they got rid of the old style glass breaker in the interest of cost. It’s another operation tapping a hole in a direction there nothing else is done in. So reduced mfg time and therefore cost. I know Maverick Customs makes Gen 3 CT clips, I bet he’s working on them for these too. Just be careful google searching I know there’s a few fake sites out there trying to scam people

@@mattjay6633 they’re a T8, that’s my bad. I either misread the bit or I used the wrong driver.

@ Lol right on… I figured you grabbed the wrong bit, but just figured I’d check

@@mattjay6633 yea good catch. Felt wrong saying T7 but I didn’t really give it much though. Didnt really want to re-film the whole thing just to correct haha

@@the_knights_edge appreciate you

@nfitzsim I have shown the ultratech on my channel a few times but really wanna checkout that zero blade play

@ it’s the first time in recent memory I’ve thought that a Microtech was worth the retail price

@nfitzsim awesome!

@@tims_always_fishing7117 lol yea man that one took a few minutes to find. Bounced like 3 feet from where it hit the ground

@@nfitzsim does microtech sell parts for these situations?

@@tims_always_fishing7117 nope, would need to send it in and potentially pay for replacement parts. They won’t ship parts out.

Also thanks for the tip about smacking the bottom to reseat it, how come pulling the blade forward doesn't work anymore?

@@AnEDCFriend love mine. Great little tool kit

@@AnEDCFriend appreciate you

Hell yes! Subbed as well

@ thanks!

@@ConnorGregory-m3h so they specifically say in the tuning instructions not to tune for full lockup. I figure if you have full lockup there’s probably a small degree of blade play. And on the 50% throw I kind of half assed it anyway so I bet normal lockup is more like 75% on this tune

So I just took the knife apart, and I tried to do what you said because I kind of felt a tiniest amount of movement from side to side if I did it really hard so I tried to adjust it out of curiosity and I realized that when I did it at 50% lock up it would fail to open most of the time and once it got to like 90% that’s when it started to work every time. This could just be little tiny tolerance between Knives and every other knife is in a way technically a drop different than the other so yeah lol that’s that. Good luck guys and I’m sure we will all get used to tuning are knives, especially with how many ZBT Microtech’s are come in the upcoming future😬 prepare your wallet!!! Lol

@ thanks for sharing! Each knife will be subtly different, I think the important thing is tuning it click by click to get a solid lockup. I said this earlier to someone. Usually when you get a folder you need to spend some time tuning the pivot screws and the stop pins and each knife is different. For me this is just a part of that process added to an OTF

@@Rotakor I actually leave them a little sharper than factory. However if you were to order and specifically ask for the edges to be rounded over more I can accommodate. For me the X button is less comfortable than the C button style that mine are. I feel like my style pinches less. But I guess that’s a person to person thing.

@@IronButterknife definitely not. I could probably make glass breaker deletes if people want though. That’s not a tough part to make and I could do them in timascus and zircuti too

@@nfitzsimnot sure I would delete, just the way you put it back on, just looked like you could flip the direction. Obviously no room. Zirc would be awesome.

@@IronButterknife checked the threads, seems like it might be a 1/4-28. I’ll have to see. If it isn’t a standard tap size I won’t be able to make them probably

​@@nfitzsimI like this idea

@@HolsterGeek I make them. I’m in all the Microtech FB groups and on Etsy as well

@@Wendeboys the buttons? Yea they’re a different size than the previous ones. They are the same as the new Cypher 2 though

@@CFAS102 definitely. Just included for illustration purposes. I’ve had the knife blade pop out of its seat before so wanted to share the full process

@@tims_always_fishing7117 easier to drill thru holes than do a proper undercut for the captured bearings. They have since updated to have captured bearings from what I hear

Do you know if the gen 2 blades fit this gen? Im thinking of making a Frankenstein Ludt​@@nfitzsim

@ I’d say no. The Gen 3 has bearing pockets and the Gen 2 does not. So you’d need to make custom washers to fill those pockets I bet. Not 100% sure I haven’t tried

That link is for the Gen 3 with grip tape inlays. I have another listing for the old body style as well.

@@nfitzsim Awesome. Thank you. I will most definitely be ordering from you!

Nice work bruh

Late reply, but yea mine are actually a hair sharper than factory. I find it easier to deploy with sharper edges and most of my customers agree. I make these buttons.
