[@anderwmarcell9503]

The blade shape looks really useful.

[@aaronhickerson1016]

It's just such a fun hobby being into all kinds of different blades. It's so fun trying to get all the ones you want. Honestly, it's impossible to get ever single one of them I guess. Good video, love your channel and keep the vids comin.👍👍

[@DanRksm]

Happy Birthday Jeff, that's for all you have done and do!

[@jackhurlbut8493]

happy birthday Jeff

[@cutlerylover]

+millard snowden thanks!

[@WrichKnives]

I seen one of these at a knife store and was extremely excited to get my hands on it. the detent on the knife was so hard I had to use two hands to open it, and I am a jar opening machine. the owner said he called microtech and they told him it just has to break in.

[@mannyhilton9979]

I don't even have a collection of knives or Zippos or anything jeff has I just watch your videos because it just so interesting you just seem like a good guy

[@thefiremensch]

[@future_phonk]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF! Idk how many years I've been watching your channel but it's awesome seeing how the channel evolve. Hopefully for many more years to come!

[@cutlerylover]

+bbnguyen92 thanks!

[@NaihanchinKempo]

+cutlerylover do these still have the FU clip? have a Custom DOC and the clip stabs you in the hand if you squeeze it in the hand

[@NaihanchinKempo]

+cutlerylover yep still has the FU clip :)

[@SonOfAHerbert]

+naihanchin Kempo You're not too bright, are you?

[@31415geon]

amazing video as usual Jeff.

[@Montgomery_Weird]

Happy Birthday, Jeff!!!

[@loganRBKansas]

Been waiting for this vid for a while. Always awesome! Happy birthday! Aloha from Hawaii!

[@ark9800]

happy birthday Jeff! next year I'll be sure to get you something!

[@_Dolofonia]

Happy Birthday!

[@姚华骅]

I like it！

[@bensummerhill8771]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[@spress97]

Happy birthday mate from Scotland.

[@01cthompson]

Great review. Thanks for being honest about the pros and cons. I like the blade shape. I wish it wasn't a flipper.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Hey Chris, why don't you like flipper designs?

[@01cthompson]

+Cameron Reid I guess it's personal preference. I don't like the way I have to manipulate my hand to activate the flipper. I much prefer a thumb hole or working thumb stud.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

+Chris Thompson can't argue with personal preference !

[@faazayas]

happy birthday!

[@fakinpwned]

Happy birthday Jeff from youtube:D

[@jamesrhyne3103]

+cutlerylover I modded my clip on my DOC with a dremel. If you take a wide piece of leather and clip the knife to the leather you can round it off in a couple of minutes without messing up any anodizing. Also Striders are ground with the swooping plunge to make it more durable for prying tasks whereas a Spyderco (I own a lot of them and enjoy spydercos) will break at the plunge because it creates a weak point at the 90 degree plunge. +TheApostleP talked about this in his last review of a Strider.

[@bizoyd29]

Couldnt you put the tip clip, carefully, in a vice and massage it flatter so it.doesnt stick out too much?

[@Jimatuscc]

The automatic version is the "Killswitch".

[@future_phonk]

Hex bits will fit inside the pivot screw. Hopefully there is a female hex bit small enough for the body screws.

[@LongboardGuy167]

+bbnguyen92 Sounds like something that'd have to be ordered online to me, that'd be hard to find at a hardware store.

[@ryanmendels6548]

Hey Jeff I know you used to live close to the New York Pennsylvania border, I'm not sure where you are now but there is this really neat little family run business called JT knife shop up in Port Jervis/ Matamoros. it's really cool I've bought a few midtechs and some production folders from him, he's got some cool knives. I think if you are at all close to that area you should go check him out and if I recall right the last time I was there he had a few benchmade 42s😉

[@Themuffinman488]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF! How about a storytime video of your best birthday?

[@DitchDr101]

That blade is so bad ass

[@maxmaidment96]

Happy birthday, great review. I'd get one of these if they weren't so Damn expensive!

[@cutlerylover]

+Max Maidment hey, thanks!

[@punhulk]

Happy birthday

[@michael-jay1521]

Happy birthday Jeff, I think that your channel is absolutely AMAZING! Hope you keep up the videos. Sincerely Jay

[@JonZDisability]

Hey Jeff, happy awesome birthday new year brother!!

[@chriscraft8636]

happy birthday

[@TOYxXxv3t3rin]

That knife looks really cool. I wish I could get it. I'm trying to get coldsteels recon 1 but idk if I can get it

[@StBonaventure07]

hey jeff i was wondering if your going to tell more stories about the old folkes home you worked at i really enjoyed the one you already did.

[@StBonaventure07]

happy birthday btw

[@HahahaWeeee]

Love the look, but I couldn't get down EDC'ing it all the time. I'll occasionally switch it up with a heavy blade but it does make me not want to carry it as much as a lighter one. bad ass blade though !!

[@WaffleMonkeyMan]

Only found your channel today, wish I found it earlier. I never owned any knives or wanted to have any, but after seeing your channel has made me very interested in them, I have watched alot of knife reviews and collection updates and some of your stories. (You're an amazing story teller btw and I want to see some more stories) You have an amazing channel and keep up the good work!

[@cutlerylover]

+WaffleMonkeyMan well thank you so much fro the kind words, I appreciate that, Im glad you enjoy the vids, the world of knives is amazing so many options! So many people dont realize how useful a pocket knife can be in our daily world...

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

+cutlerylover i only ever carried SAKs till i saw this channel a few years ago. then a video of yours convinced me to upgrade to a Spyderco. i love it and have many different knives now. thanks jeff! (although the bank balance doesant have the same appreciation)

[@poppopscarvinshop]

Happy Birthday Jeff! You Are A Blessing to Us! Thanks Much!

[@Surago]

I'm not sure it'd be a proper designation but I'd called it a compound Saber grind.

[@brettsanders5148]

merry birfday

[@newcoyote]

Microtech does do some goofy things, have some funky designs and take err... Risks. But I tell you what. I have owned a few and they a damn good knives. When I first saw the Select Fire I thought it was ridiculous looking. Then I saw one in person, held it and changed my tune. I ended up buying it and it turned out to be fantastic performing.

[@Tbone42tx]

I'll be picking one up soon... looking to trade my new LUDT JEDI KNIGHT TOWARDS ONE... the name might not be the best but has nothing to do with the quality and look so they coulda called it the brick lol and I'd still want one!!!!

[@abelchaparro8524]

It took me over a year to watch this

[@jamesjohn3528]

Can you make a knife maintenance/sharpening video or point me to one that you've already made. Thanks.

[@M7WFBT]

CPM-154 and 154CM are two different steels virtually.

[@BenTheDream1018]

I'm not sure if you've realized yet Jeff, but the blade says cpm 154 not 154 cm.

[@eduardorivera4100]

Grip tape can be used to strike matches too

[@E1337N3SS]

Not sure if it makes sense, but this is one of those things that I WANT to want. It looks awesome, but there's a LOT that turns me off when I'm close to pulling the trigger. The skateboard tape looks tacky, there's just a bunch of stuff that adds weight that I don't think is needed, the stupid microtech special snowflake hardware and the stupid pocket clip... But I keep coming back to it. That blade shape is beautiful, the anoed aluminum looks awesome, I love forward finger choil and it's nice and chamfered, and the thumb stud isn't an afterthought... I just don't know if it would ever have any desire use this over my 0560 or my Southard.

[@hotdoggraphics]

pls review a bradley kimura vi if u can

[@tacocat2394]

level

[@SPYXIK]

Would you do a tekut?

[@ThePlAyBoYpEnGuin]

Not a huge gear head, don't really follow the whole scene personally but I find the knife & all sort of reviews addicting to watch lol

[@MrNumberone1608]

Jeff cpm 154 is a slightly different better version of 154 cm from my understanding. So maybe it's not too big a deal.

[@tonyc3049]

HAPPY BIRTH DAY BROTHER!!!!!!!

[@PeakBeat]

then in Australia it's $510

[@kellieburk2855]

Good review. I love your videos. I haven't seen a balisong video in while. Can you do one?

[@ellswtf]

not a fan of aftermarket screws it would be cool if the thumb stud could be unscrewed and used for a screwdriver for it

[@Themoigt]

I thought the samw

[@1312020m]

The "thumb stud" can't be removed because its a blade stop, not a thumb stud.

[@2bitmarketanarchist337]

Happy Birthday Jeff, you're one of my favorite youtubers and I've learned so much from your channel over the years.

[@lotriguitarist]

well then HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

[@luke_almquist]

Happy birthday man ! I Enjoy every single one of your videos (: thanks for every thing you do for us!

[@liftedlegends727]

ow and i want to thank you for al the great videos i will send you a knife to test where can i find your po box ?

[@evanwarwick3629]

In his about section on KZbin.

[@CedricAda]

Death on Contact! Jeebus... this knife really doesnt look like a super expensive microtech knife. Glad to hear the ergos and materials more than compensate for the weird design choices... I really like the leaf shape blade. The giant thumbstud looks like a big wart ot something. Thanks for the detailed look!

[@MrNumberone1608]

it's not a thumbstud

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

+MrNumberone1608 but you would use it as one now and again.

[@luciussulla987]

+polonose 00 They're actually pretty much just blade stops, it's nearly impossible to open the knife using them as thumb studs.. well on mine at least and the few others I've handled.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

***** fair enough i did just see it happen though

[@TheCheemstar]

Why don't you do a lot of buck or Gerber

[@dalecarpenter8828]

Does the real one have the stand offs inside the back spacer so you can't get ate them they get stuck

[@idkwhattonamemyself8453]

I just recently started getting i to knives but I haven't bought any good knives and I was wondering what a good knife under $40 is

[@idkwhattonamemyself8453]

+Tertius Brink thank you, I'll have to check it out

[@SonOfAHerbert]

Kershaw Skyline.

[@HahahaWeeee]

kabar dozier

[@knifeaddict]

I would go with a kershaw for under 40. Schrade is also starting to come out with some great budget knives. Crkt is also has some good budget knives. I have quite a few videos on budget knives on my channel if you would like to look at them.

[@askmeaboutsugma]

As knifeaddict said, Kershaw seems to be great. I just purchased a Kershaw Amplitude 3.25 recently. I picked it up at Walmart for $25 and it has been a damn good knife so far.

[@slash3r9]

Would you buy a Mtech or Milano stiletto? Thoughts

[@dalecarpenter8828]

I call my clone the klingon pocket knife!

[@UltimateTheViking]

Hey! Can you do a reveiw on the Buffalo river alfa Urban knife i would Love to here your opinion on that knife Thanks IF you do! Have a Nice day! :)

[@bensblades9049]

daaaasaaaaaamn that has a wierd thum stud

[@DAS-Videos]

Jeff did you happen to lose your wedding band?

[@DAS-Videos]

+Dasdfjkl Never mind. I saw yours in a previous video and the one found is silver, but cut totally differently.

[@cutlerylover]

+Dasdfjkl sadly I admit it doesn't fit! Im working on losing those lbs again and am doing well knock on wood...

[@DAS-Videos]

+cutlerylover A couple found a silver wedding ring in the pocket of jeans that they bought through the mail, that is why I thought of you. You look your normal weight. I have seen larger people who can't be active because of their weight, those people are the ones who really have to lose weight. You can have your ring stretched a little at a jewelry shop if you wanted. Or leave it as is and use it as an incentive to drop a couple of lbs.

[@SetthehookFishing]

Can you open a beer bottle with the guard?

[@SetthehookFishing]

+Setthehook Fishing And happy birthday!

[@alexreyes9672]

This makes me want to trade all over my lower priced knives for a microtech

[@cutlerylover]

+vM PROPHETIC cool part about doing that is if you got tired of it you can trade that microtech for all knew set of cheaper knives...

[@alexreyes9672]

yeah that would be great.. maybe ill trade with someone I know from Instagram.

[@stevenvillarreal2683]

hey man new subscriber here. pretty well rounded channel you have. are you gonna do some more pipe stuff sometime soon? thatd be pretty cool.

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Haha you are so damn right in that the name of this name sounds like one from China sold in a mall and given an over the top name!

[@suferwill808]

What style blade is that?

[@oreomoon1998]

Hey +cutlerylover I was looking at the new Benchmade knives for 2016 when I came across the 551-1 Griptilian. I was just wondering how you feel about this knife. I love the new G10 handles instead of those old plastic scales. I'm really considering getting this knife

[@Godram]

didn't you have a black micro tech before like a year or two ago?

[@molndan94]

+Mitch Kellar Just wait a few minutes and it will be HD.

[@Godram]

molndan94 I am not sure of your point but I don't care if it is in HD.

[@molndan94]

+Mitch Kellar Sorry, I wanted to write this to another comment. :)

[@Godram]

Apparently i am simply impatient.

[@Godram]

+molndan94 No worries my friend.

[@jasonbarrameda9818]

did you see the apostle p review this? he called the clip a f*** you clip. between how high it rides in your pocket and how much it hurts your hand, plus the fact that BOTH DESIGNERS' NAMES are etched into the clip, like John Hancock on the declaration being like "what, come at me. you won't." lol. happy birthday brotherman! one other thing, your criticism of the model name isn't harsh, I think it's appropriate. God forbid you happen to carry that knife on a day you need to defend your life, then in court you're made out to be the aggressor bc the prosecutor thinks you went out that day looking for beef with some mortal kombat killing tool in your pocket. thoughts? anyway, keep up the good work man. love your channel.

[@jasonbarrameda9818]

I just realized it was Jim Skeltons review I was thinking of, not apostle ps. whoops

[@MoTivexMuSiC]

Hey Jeff, can you give me a name of a recommended knife sharpener?

[@auto5light12]

you said "cat treats" and now both of my cats are at my feet wanting treats and i don't have any treats....bastard

[@saidc7467]

do you still have it?

[@thekeystonekid8687]

Guardian Tactical = Made in PA from former Microtech employees and their knives seem a lot cooler than anything Microtech is making these days....also their logo is a bulldog

[@luciussulla987]

I really like my production DOC, in most grips the clip falls between my fingers or into a void in my palm too so it fits my hand really well, eventually I'm going to have the clip customized so it doesn't stick out as much though. The detent on mine was ridiculously strong when I first got it to the point I could barely flip it open unless I had gloves on. I have a callus on my index finger from flipping knives but still I could barely open it and it bruised the hell out of my finger from trying to break it in... Once it was flipped a few hundred times and had a chance to loosen up the action got a lot better and fires out now. Still has a strong detent but I tend to prefer that over a weaker one anyways. I'm planning on picking up one of the custom Anthony Marfione versions with carbon fibre handles, bronze hardware and a DLC blade to match my bronze and satin DLC bladed Anax fairly soon. Definitely a badass knife, the compound grind is a nice touch as well.

[@Thefellowmanable]

How has speaking in front of a KZbin audience for so long affected your public speaking/presentation skills? Or just communication skills in general?

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Hahaha and also just want part of this particular knife makes it so lethal though? It's not particularly pointy or long.

[@jacknife9770]

what did you trade for it?

[@ClassicBLTs]

17:00 jab at nutinfancy? ;)

[@cutlerylover]

+ReviewSwagUSA not specifically, I know he gets shit for beign a wight nazi but hey to each their own...I get it for him he carries lots of gear so he wants lighter gear but I think thats a military mindset more than anything, its been drilled into him because of his time in the service and having to move longer distances with gear as apposed to most of us who get in and out of our car and walk 30 feet to a store front, lol...
