I've got the lander's 2

Para 2 is the best knife ever made and I have owned many models from both companies

I’ve been using the raccoon for a while now and was gifted the Lander 2 for Christmas. Similar kind of. The Lander is so much more refined, and so smooth.

Informative man. Thanks

Vosteed Racoon anyone?

Fun? Elegant? Is a knife required to be either of those things? The knife is an inanimate object - it's not trying to be anything. 🫠

This is more like refined and modern ver of bob dozier folders

Good looking knife 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

would you ever trade for this? i have utx 85 jade and benchmade osbourne jade

Eh, I’ve had a cerakoted magnacut deka for quite some time now and the cerakote has held up great, better than certain companies DLC *cough* spyderco *cough* And saying that it doesn’t provide any corrosion resistance is ludicrous, that is one of the major reasons cerakote is used in multiple industries. DLC as a whole is definitely the top of the pile but Cerakote is definitely a good coating. I agree on the steel choice, it’s odd that they chose 20cv over magnacut. Although I’m not 100% sure they were using magnacut yet when they released this version

Love my Tr3 Swat, and blasted model, so i bought this today.

do you still have this one? and by any chance do you sell it?

Im on day 4 of those pills ...

Krate tactical knives make something similar called the barracuda.

I have the fixed-blade version of this knife, and although I own about 50 knives of different brands and prices up to $600+, this is one of my all-time favs. I thought I'd lost it years ago and found it stuffed into the crack of the cab of my truck 2 years later :). It had some surface rust but I was able to knock that off with lemon juice and baking soda. It looks like new again.

Is this Patrick Mahomes talking? LOL

Just bought this benchmade, love spyderco and wanted to try a benchmade.

Yea i love mine.

I got delivery of mine last Monday (07/15/2024). At first it didn't want to drop. I told myself I was going to break it in naturally without adding oil to the pivot or adjusting the pivot screw. A couple of days later it still didn't want to drop so I decided to remove the pivot, washers and blade and clean and lube them and put them back together. Action is like a dream now. I did the same to my 551-S30V and my Redoubt. The 551 has the best action among the three but they're all great fidget toys. Initially, I was reluctant to take those two apart because I stripped a screw of my 940-2 but I was so disappointed with the action of my Redoubt so I went for it. Now all three are drop-shut with no blade play or lock rock. Eventually, I also did the same thing with my 556 and my 940BK-2004. All that remains is my 945.

Mehhh, @ 00:31, you mention the noticeably longer blade of the Ultratech over the UTX 85, which is false. They are very close in blade size.

I added a comment 10 months ago and now after purchasing 18 Microtech’s, I agree even more with you! I have added a lot of the new natural clear versions, Hera II, Combat Troodon Gen III, Gen III with Interceptor blade, 2 Cypher II’s, a few Ultratech’s, a natural Clear Glykon, last Gen Merlot Combat Troodon Warhound… LUDT, Stitch… everything you say applies especially the stability of the company, you know they will be around where some of the newer competitors seem to make knives and disappear for long periods of time - this is a great company with great products and the new models with upgraded actions are just incredible!

Finally the video that stopped me adding and subtracting things from my cart for the 20% REI full price discount. Charge plus on the way

Great video, I learned a lot. You spoke about weights and you own the competition so you have some insights most do not.

Protech is overpriced imo. Nice designs but too expensive for todays market. Benchmade has the exact same problem

They're great company from what I've heard. I finally decided to pull the trigger and get the Modded PM2 with those scales, blacked out hardware, screws, and liner with their acid stonewash... it's an apocalyptic anomaly for sure! oh, added a LNW DCC as well... I might throw on a EMP EDC tab too for fun.. I've had a few PM2's but always gave them to friends or fam because they loved them so much -- this one is MINE!

I have that same exact Medford. Blue and all. I'm lovin it. Only slight negative is it's very tight to flip. I can barely even get it to flip open with the tab. Sometimes i can't at all. I have to use the button.

I have one mint, not looking to sell, but I have one to move for a guitar, unfortunately, I am mostly un, reachable,, but might be,,only sharpened once, to mirror polished,

I love the endura.... Definitely in my top 5 spyderco

Have a Hellhound, Ultratech D/E, 85 Tanto, Benchmade Shootout, Claymore, Bugout and more :-)

Im fairly new to automatic OTF knives . But i do own a few already. Benchmade, Guardian Tactical, Microtech and Kershaw. But... Dang it, the Ultratech is REALLY STIFF in actuation to all the others. I can actuate my Combat Troodon 10 times easily...havent fidgeted with more reps than that. But after 3 or 4 reps on the Ultratech, my thumb is tired out and has a deep trigger shaped impression on it. Is that normal for an ultratech? Ive already got a repair order in, waiting for Microtech to email me a shipping label to send it off for them to check it out

This is the same as the nextool mini sailor tho. Check it out

Just received my Ultratech Bayonet OTF yesterday… Extremely satisfied, now watching different reviews to agree how cool it is)

Rather than just looks does it feel as good as the stock clip, because that one does feel good in hand, this one looks like it's higher up and farther to the end of the knife? Thanks

Just bought one again with the drop point. I bought one years back when they were still 154cm and gave it to a friend. I just had to get another one. Just bought it today actually. Such a classic but still a beast. I have much much more expensive knives but this grip & my 940 lives in my pocket.

A 1st gen Sprint Ops Pro, S30V and G10, is in my pocket. Buck has a very competitive EDC folder in the Sprint knives.

Have to agree .. just opened my recent batch knife and it’s honestly ridiculous the action on this thing … insane value

I got this one in yellow G10. Fantastic knife

How much did you spend on yours? It’s been a tough search for one of these and the only one I could find is $70 over MSRP.

The Skyline from Kershaw used to be 20 bucks! And other Kershaws with similarly nice sandvik steel were $12! Inflation is a b@+#$! But nice knife!

I might have to pick one up as it reminds me of my Kershaw Iridium which was awarded “Best Buy” at Blade Show 2023.

I have one! Doesn't fit my big hand! Other than that, great knife!

How much is this?

Got one from drop on 20cv four years ago and have bought a Blue magnacut model and a black magnacut model which i hope to send it off for a blizzard wash and aluminum scale work.thanks keep us posted on the Mordax please and thanks.

Thank you

I’d like to get a jade Ultratech to add to my collection

hello nice. love the rat 2 sad to here they going. if you don't mind asking where did you buy the scales?

Guilty as charged i bought 2 microtech ultratechs first one purple satin d/e second one was more expensive blue bronze d/e

The XLJ is better then both

bugout wannabe hogue sucks

I had this exact knife back in the day when they first came out but I gave it away to a friend. I just bought it again today but it’s s30v. Not sure if it’s an easy to resharpen steel.
