@@miamcarlisle432 the only thing I would have done differently is used track exclusively up front instead of the Scotty mounts. The track was newer when I started, but now there’s lots of options and a lot more accessories.

You can use it in all the above, it;s very stable

I can't speak on pricing at other places. My report was on how much it was in the store I bought if from.

weight can definitely by a factor on it's use. Ive used rod holders, garmin, camera, and the table in the video and they all did fine, but it can also depend on the base that you're using, what the base it attached to and how it is attached, and the weight of the item you're using my garmin is the striker model that people tend to use on smaller paddle craft and on jon boats but there are a lot of variables that can make or break it for each person

from what i could find some monitors use them, but nothing that i'm using did so i just cut them off and taped it

@@vanontheloose211 yes hooked mine up after watching vid & works fine.... Only thing holding me back was I had no idea what those other 2 do 👍

I’ve got 2 that are both doing great, and my parents sell them at their store and they’ve sold several with no issues.

@@vanontheloose211 I sent it back, they replaced the blade and after it dulled it wouldn’t never sharpen properly again. Understand that I work in a kitchen. I tried different methods, none worked. I just can’t find it in my heart to trust em after that

I couldn’t find anything in my research but they weren’t needed for what I’m using

@@vanontheloose211 I think they’re for data transfer what gauge wires are these

It doesn’t affect the gps or anything does it? Just wondering cause that’s really all I bought it for

I had a few Chinese ripoff knives. At first I felt a bit bad. Then I understood that this is a product for a price. And understood that if I wanted the best of the best, then I would have to pay an unreasonable premium. The Chinese did a good job and I am very happy with those. All this overseas crap is just that. crap. Meaning that it is a marketing ploy to make you buy $$$$. This is like a pyramid. For 10% extra you pay 2x more. For 20% extra you pay 5x more... Don't forget that if you like the current knife, use it, be happy with it. Remember Strider? All that rant on their folders. Yet the locking bar does not have an adjustable shoe, but titanium matches metal, meaning that it will wear out... Yet many Italian framelock folders have that feature already. So you buy a novelty, which is double price of something offering almost the same function which, if you use the "regular" knife it will be good enough for 99% of users. At the end of the day the premium knife will not be better. Why? Because you will not want to use it. You will just have the feeling that this is the best. Sure. Limited edition to how many pieces? I got a Cold Steel signature edition knife limited to 2000 pieces. You can find these in every online store. Is it usable? No. Is it limited? not really. So you pay the premium for an illusion that is so relative.... You are part of a club of elite persons? Sure. Just before you buy a Microtech Mandalorian or whatever, just ask yourself. Is it THAT GOOD that it is worth the price of a premium fixed blade knife? At the end of the day, buy an EDC knife, and then if you still want it, buy the elite knife and put it into the drawer.

After having mine for a year my family started selling them in their store. They have a hard time keeping them in stock.

Not sure what you did to your but mine is still 100%

Thanks! I haven’t been able to find any information over it.

I couldn’t find it in my wholesale catalog. You might try the Academy website.

I think this is BR0180.

No, unfortunately it isn’t two way charging.

Rouge River by Old Town

100% agree

Yup. That's just the way things go anymore. Not much you can do.

Dont't forget the Cold Steel mad in Taiwan. I bet its better than American manufacturers.

Since getting into paddling I have noticed that there are a lot that seem like copies or are very similar to each other in the industry. The kayak industry is also pretty similar to the canoe, especially on the lower price point ones.

I can carry it and use it without fear of misplacing it or losing it. That alone kills microtech for me.

😂 except their $60 instead of $300. You know you can also get a M390 knife for $100 right? Microtech is overpriced

some people don't really need be doing knife reviews

Interesting perspective. Buy one and make a video demonstrating your point or quit trolling.

Still working great. My family actually started carrying them in their store and they’re flying off the shelf!

@@vanontheloose211 great im looking at buying one of these and im also 6'2 :)

The point is it’s $60 not $300.
