I have to say my gen 3 combat troodon has no button or blade play. Open or closed so maybe you got a bad example. Lame !!

I will say thank you for this review! I agree with every word you said here and was on the fence about returning mine… you helped tho I’m sending it back tomorrow.
@thelastsignature6 күн бұрын
What’s wild is my interceptor CT Gen III has the same play on the button as yours and my OCD cannot stand it… I picked up a Tanto CT Gen III and there is zero play in the button and was 200 less… as much as I love the blade and the “lore” behind it never being released outside custom work I can’t live with it… returning it tomorrow and it pains me to because it looks so amazing but for 675 I should not have button wiggle when my 450 knife is literally perfect and feels more solid(I know the lightning cuts in the interceptor make it lighter but that makes it feel a little less like “money” and for the “money” I’m gonna stick with the Tanto.
@thelastsignature6 күн бұрын
Give the Tanto a try in hand it feels amazing.. far superior to that interceptor and fired harder… maybe due to blade mass im not sure

It hasn't been discontinued. It's one of their most popular models (if not THE) and they just sold out of another large drop, including a version with a new blade type - American tanto. They will make more. However, they do remove the listings from their site in between drops. I think that for $118, it is absolutely great, if not amazing. In some ways, it's higher quality than most $300+ US OTFs, including a higher-grade aluminum (7075/T6) body and a double set of locking gates, making the lockup exceptionally strong. BTW, the glass breaker is made with properly hardened steel and will absolutely do the job. Check out MaxAce's torture test video where they hammer the knife into a piece of wood, baton it and other ridiculous stuff. Repeatedly whacking the glass breaker with a hammer didn’t even mar it, not to mention deform. People have also taken the knife apart and discovered that the internals are very well made with no shortcuts, including a milled, properly hardened steel components. Yes. The switch just "does the job" and can't compete with the silky-smooth switches on GTs or the new Microtechs (like CT Gen III). However, it does do the job just fine, is way better than the thumb-ripping "goodness" of my classic Ultratech and is not as stiff as my Gen 2 CT. It doesn't hurt my thumb at all. By the way, the Ultem and Mini versions (Uranus) have wider, easier to activate switches and I'm thinking that the AL Neptune will also be equipped with those in the near future. As far as the blade throw action, it feels very strong and generally great, with a satisfying sound and amount of recoil. I totally disagree about the handle design, ergonomics and practicality. I love that it goes for minimalism and doesn’t have multiple curves forcing you into specific positions on the grip and IMO, it’s one of the best feelings OTFs I’ve tried... just fits my hand very well. I also definitely can get a death grip on it. Just did your little test and the knife didn’t even begin to budge. Then again, people have told me before that I have “r-tard strength” hands and fingers. 😊 Now, the pocket clip is indeed junk and cheapens the feel of the whole knife. I recently just went ahead and removed the clips off all my Neptunes (I own one of each blade type) and it really improved the feel. They carry very well on the bottom of the pocket anyhow. Also, out of my four AL Neptunes, all of which have been broken in and carried, not a single failure to deploy or retract, ever! My Microtechs experienced multiple failures, especially at first, and my Heretics had one or two here and there. Not the Neptunes!

The fact that it's "just okay" in cutting and slicing. The fact that fit and finish for a $2000 is unacceptable. The fact that the pocket clip and handle is a hot spot. The fact that it's $2000..... Garbage. I pray Medford goes out of business. He has made enough money off this garbage. Just my opinion. This knife no matter what material it is made out of, should cost no more than $200 not $2000. With that said, its a great looking knife but not $2000 worth. It is a gas station novelty knife.

@RedwolfEDCАй бұрын
The only thing that isn't adding up is that I have absolutely no reason to lie. My channel is small, my view counts are low, I do not have a patreon, if you wanted to become a "channel member" you literally couldn't because I have that feature turned off. The only reason I even make any money off of any of these videos is because I turn on monetization so I can turn off mid video add breaks because if I don't youtube will spam you guys mid video with bullshit and that money adds up to about $45 per month on average give or take a few bucks, and I make that $45 plus 17.25 per hour already just by working so it really doesn't make any difference at all. Besides that all of these boots are worn into the boot itself which means they would need a complete rebuild that would end up costing more then the boot itself and this has happened 3 times now totaling $600 usd. At the end of the day you can believe what you want but I am just speaking logically here but there really is zero reason to lie. Especially because I like the brand, I love my OG captains and my explorers are literally my most worn boot by a mile and I would highly recommend those boots to anyone. So if it isn't about money, fame, recognition or bashing the brand. Then why? And if you cannot come up with an answer then maybe just take what I said as fact because for me it is, these boots are garbage which makes me sad because I loved them and I wish they were better.
