Guardian Tactical - Scout *New Release*

[@thenextarcher]

Great to see they had a new release. Really like the blade shape. Hope to see them at bladeshow again.

[@normcote270]

I bought the exact model Scout CF. with pstina on switch,..clip, and blackwashed blade. The pocket clip is really nice looking! It's all you say it is, imo!!

[@dk210913]

Good to see you Auston! I understand you being overwhelmed and busy, same here lately. I hope to see some new videos from you soon. Your content is always top notch! Have a wonderful week.

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

Appreciate it, hope you have a great week as well.

[@butchcassidy3373]

I bought the all aluminum version and love it. Will be buying more from these guys

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

Huh 🤔 welcome back. Your a great reviewer! Glad to see you making videos. I just felt like every think looks the same and I haven’t bought much this last year

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

Good to see/hear you, ESB! Looking forward to future content.

*_They should have incorporated the same nickel boron internals, vented the bottom & added the inside fluting lines on the blade by the choil_* _The Weiland hand ground piece is just gorgeous, but there is hardly any room for resharpening & this model is just too small!_ _Why ohhhhh why, do these manufacturers insist on releasing such small knives these days!_

[@jski1990]

I really hope they come out with a solid black handle version of this. I had one of the carbon fiber panels pop off of my recon 035 and it really changed how I felt about it.

[@LoganLawrence]

Get some super glue

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

They do. They have a cheaper one with milled aluminum handle.

[@jimm244]

This is exciting! I’ve been sticking with Ultratechs because they’re a bit slimmer than the 035. I’ll look into the Scout!

[@danielhenderson8316]

Did they give a timeframe on the Recon 035 update? All it needs is be a smaller 040 with the jimping and integrated glassbreak, but smaller with multiple blade styles.

[@Rothbardy]

YEA! New video 😁

[@P-tricky13]

They have the best ratios

[@Big371Simps]

You should look at axial knives, very well made otf’s. The axial shift 3.0 is their newest version. Highly recommend. Very comparable to microtech and guardian. I have the recon-035 also. It’s my first OTF, I’ve liked it very much.

[@stargazer5073]

Great review!

[@franksalem8580]

I'm sorry but if you addressed blade play I missed it. How does it stack up with other OTFs?

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

The same or slightly better than most. Unless we are talking about the Hawk Deadlock, they all have some play.

[@a.k.vollmer5200]

I like it but I think it’s priced too high at $400.

[@Matt_DB]

Hey, ESB. Do you by chance have any CUOIERIA FIORENTINA card wallets laying around that you'd sell? Had one for years that got lost in a move, and they sadly discontinued that model.

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

I think I'm out at this point

[@gigilaco]

How are the lock ups on these GT’s? Do they have a lot of play?

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

Same as most OTFs

[@tap42al]

This or a Livewire for the money?

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

This

[@LoganLawrence]

I’m gonna snag this my next paycheck I snagged it

[@TacticalVillain]

Got a 035 in every color hmmmm idk about these they look cool but nothing special to me besides the clip i love that design

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

You can't go wrong with the Recon-035 or the Scout

[@alexdrockhound9497]

another microtech copycat

[@ThatsMrGat]

lol what? you realize microtech is pitifully copying grugtech from 580,000BC

[@AlexanderSLeBlanc]

This is laughable. The owners of GT are prior Microtech employees. They revolutionized the OTF with GT.

[@aaronb9630]

I own both 2 Gtx-025 and a Microtech UTX-85. The action on the GTX is far smoother with a break that takes less pressure. The slide button on the GTX is designed for thumb push and tip retrieval, the Microtech is an uncomfortable symmetrical designed that could use some more champfering for use comfort. I've carried both and the GTX is an evolution of the Microtech formula. I'm dissapointed in Microtech that they haven't made an attempt to compete with a new slide action.
