I went out and got the Kershaw Livewire in magnacut, which I enjoy for the sound.

I’ve been carrying my Tanto Magnacut Livewire for a few weeks now. Before I carried a spartan Ultratech, the microtech is heavier which leads to the thought its better but despite how light the Livewire is its very sturdy and overall for $190 on sale it is a gem!

Man, I miss my OTF knives! I had 3 microtechs and all 3 where stolen by someone i called a friend! Never let me down from an EDC 8n civilian life to having them with me on duty in the army! Amazing

I carry and use all my high-end knives That's what they were made for to be used. Just because they're more expensive I'm not going to baby them I have many knives over $500 that I carry almost daily

I'm happy with the cheapo lightning knives from bladeHQ. I remember they used to sell for like...$25 or something else super cheap. They're a little heavy but easy to spam open/close.

I put a little bit of synthetic grease on the springs to stop the twang sound

@J.DeLaPoer 6 ай бұрын

Yes. Low end blades are notorious for it (my old AC-86 otf from the 1980s sounds like twangy guitar), but I've had very expensive ones do the same thing. A bit of grease on the spring, or even a thick oil like MPro-7, will usually stop things. I've also done the trick of cutting a thin rubber band and running the strip of rubber inside the mainspring itself.

@sprinkleddonuts6094 4 ай бұрын

@@J.DeLaPoerthe rubber band probably didn’t do nothing at all. Since the spring is a coil. 😂

@J.DeLaPoer 4 ай бұрын

@@sprinkleddonuts6094 Of course it's a coil; why would that mean it does nothing? By running a strip of rubber _inside_ the coil, it creates increased mass for the spring, stops it moving around laterally, and provides a soft buffer for the rings of the coil to move against. All those factors mitigate the twanginess vs just having a bare spring.

@disturbedlife5691 2 ай бұрын

I pack the spring area with plain chapstick. Keeps it smooth and keeps debris from moving around inside. Stops twang. And the best part is you can place it under the button to hold the string in place while reassembling

Are you also allowed to carry gravity knives in PA? I go to northeastern PA probably about six times a year either going to the Poconos or bushkill falls and I would love to carry some of my knives that I'm not allowed to carry here in NJ

Those look so easy to actuate ! I have the microtech combat troodon in merlot color with a bronze hellhound blade and hardware it’s beautiful but after opening and closing it a few times my thumb is dead I gotta check one of those out thanks for the video

I have several CobraTec models from high-end to their mid-line and like them too. In fact, I like my CobraTec Enforcer in M390 better than my MicroTech knives!

Most I spent for a otf was 80$ and it was solid and heavy not a benchmade but works good

I heard if you buy a Bitchmade and you send it in for warranty or free sharpening, you must prove your a 1st responder or they keep it.

Decent knives for sure. It's a crime what Microtech and Benchmade charge.

@wingatebarraclough3553 6 ай бұрын

Especially since I've had such "hit or miss" qc and awful customer service experiences with benchmade and microtech, yet, for me, whenever I've had a issue with a tacknives, they've been really good about fixing and or replacing.

Have you owned a microtech? Way better than Benchmade and very much worth the money. I got the new gen 3 combat troodon. Not the best in edge retention but better than any other otf. Hands down tack knives are the cheapos. And the lightning otf is better than any in this video. And they are 30$. It's not about price it's all about design, geometry, and heat treat. Of course most important of all, if it makes you smile. If you go by the smile, there's nothing bad or good. Some people actually buy the Benchmade infidel and somehow appreciate it. That's totally fine. But objectively as much as I don't like how microtech runs their company, they are the best. My opinion,,,, buy the livewire. Perfect otf perfect price

I don't get all the microtech hate. Never had a bad microtech and they completely redesigned their knives inside and out and didn't even charge more. Tough times financially I guess.
