Guardian Tactical GTX25: 2.5" OTF?!

The tiny GTX25 makes an appearance. In this short review I'll take about a gear up landing in a T6 Texan and then we get down to business! I don't remember such a highly quality out the front knife of this size before. Its premium Elmax steel, ceramic ball bearing deployment, good clip, different styles, Edge Pro Apex compatible spine (yes!), and more are covered. I have no competitive options for this knife either!

Answering the request for more US produced blades, Guardian Tactical is in the TNP house again! This tiny OTF is fascinating. Fast, great steel, good blade shape. We'll do some fun aircraft talk and introduce that Gundam too! TNP Patreon is where the action is!

I haven’t weighed it, but it could be. Surely not much difference.

[@markr2370]

@@10Xray Yes the utx 70 is like half the weight and the handle is like 25% shorter.

[@RoyOrbisonsElvisTape]

Loved hearing you talk about check flights. The 12 O'Clock high series had several episodes featuring check flights, I remember one where the trainee fails because they did not take the proper action in time, and one where he checks out even though he crashed, because in the face of serious mechanical issues, he crashed well, minimally damaging the plane, with no loss of life.

[@MrBlessed70]

I would love a 3-inch version of this knife with 2 less holes on the blade and just slightly wider..

Curious about your thoughts on Cobratech knives, made here in Texas. Pretty inexpensive, I recently got one as a gift for my first OTF. Seems decent to me for the price, but I don't know what to look for. Definitely has me more interested in getting more OTF knives. Love the TNP KRVs, keep em coming!

[@sturmgewehr70]

Parts are from China. They are assembled in Texas.

[@codybill24]

@@sturmgewehr70 well that's no surprise, but still curious on thoughts regarding overall quality and value from someone who knows more than I do.

[@sturmgewehr70]

@@codybill24 I have one...at one point I had two. The action is pretty good. Compared to a Microtech's aluminum chassis, the zinc alloy of the Cobratec is quite heavy. Mine says the steel is D2, but it's anyone's guess. They aren't bad for the price.

[@codebebop]

[@redriver6541]

Is there any way to put a secondary manual hydraulic pump to actuate that wheel down? I know people WAY smarter than me are involved in designing these things.....and I'm probably way overthinking it.

Yup, don’t know why us produced knives “require” a higher price tag. Let’s be real, American made products are far from the highest quality. Not in all categories, but in most.

[@xenonram]

@@havoc1zero It costs 10-20x more to produce an item in the US than Asia. Derrrrp.

[@havoc1zero]

Andrew Delashaw that’s my fucking point. Derrrp

[@90whatever]

Often times US-made is going to mean it is more expensive simply due to much higher labor costs in this country vs. China/far east imports. If buying US is important then you just have to pay more. Doesn't really have anything to do with an "excuse for overpriced" but you are right if the high price is just old fashioned gouging...which also happens.
