Microtech Stops (Blade) Playing Around - New Knives November 28th, 2024 at KnifeCenter

[@matthewhebbert9712]

The Olight Otacle A1 Hatchet is a gem of a camp tool. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's comfortable in hand, constructed well, and they really got the heat treat right on the steel. It is my go-to camping hatchet. I have seen nothing but good reviews on it from other users.

[@namvetsgt71ify]

My wife liked my Olight Oracle A1 so much that I bought one for her. Well balanced, good as a hammer and seems to hold an edge quite well.

[@foreverjim5240]

Super pumped for the rat 1.5 i have the 2, but it always gets rusty around the pivot. This should be a great knife

[@A-Wall]

I was down a Ontario Rat rabbit hole today, I've never owned one but got interested in having one as a camping knife. Learning the dimensions I really thought man there should really be a size in between the two and bam they did it! haha. I'm looking forward to future budget steel options.

[@Teufel_Resen]

Same here. I picked up a Buck 112 slim 2 months ago and have been happy so far with it. Easy to sharpen and had me looking at the RAT again for a glove box blade, the D2 version.

[@illogik9172]

RAT blows

[@chrisjosekuehl]

The rat 1 is prefect especially for outdoor use. The longer blade makes batoning wood a lot easier and the full size grip is great if you’re wearing gloves. I’ve owned and given away countless rat’s, I even bought the s35vn rat 1, can’t wait for my micarta scales to get here to put on that one.

[@Jimmy-gd5ho]

I find the rat not to be that great. Opening it isn't really enjoyable. I'd go with any bestech instead. Just my opinion

[@foreverjim5240]

Blows away the competition. ​@@illogik9172

[@arig5988]

Great video. Hope all of you at KC had an awesome thanksgiving .

[@dannyhouseright1174]

Y'all have no idea how much I look forward to your videos...and resulted in 2 purchases... keep them coming!

[@MatisseStLaurent]

I am really digging the electroplated copper washed blade on the Browning Jericho!

[@srtc317]

I just received my new 229 coated tanto. Love it. That knive is gonna be a homerun for Chaves!!

[@jlogue751]

Such a great video the beginning was a blur.

[@_mikegibson_8550]

Thank you DCA! We all needed this. 👍🏼

[@joshwilliams4554]

Thanks David C. Had to escape the family and watch new knives of the week in the garage. Happy Thanksgiving to u and the Knife Center crew.

[@TheSmileyTek]

The copper on that Buck is really cool. Good on Buck for doing something new. It works. At that price, I might as well grab one. I'd love to see that on a Kershaw Bel Air

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

That Belair is sweet !

[@ExtraCrispy357]

Hey DCA, Seth, & Thomas - 🦃🍂🍁HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!🍁🍂🦃 Wow - Rat 1.5 in Magnacut! Good for them! That's a good size for EDC and it's good to see them making an update on materials and a meaningful change in size! Very cool. From what I can tell online, it looks like the Rat 1.5 is made in Taiwan, which is much preferred to me personally (instead of made in China). That Microtech Ultratech ZBT is also SWEET! One of the many benefits of CAPITALISM - continuous innovation with improvements in technology and quality at a price people are willing to pay. WIN-WIN!

[@Edcreviewer]

I have a old blur that's in cpm 440v aka s60v. I'm really glad to have that knife as today they are very hard to get because no one that has one will sell one. I have 6 or 7 blurs and love them all, the normal 14c blur is a heck of a good deal. It's a heck of a good work knife and you can get them for under 70 bucks at normal street price or around 60 on sale. The blur really is a classic and totally deserving of being called a classic. Btw I called it on the magnacut rat, when they started dropping the s35vn rats I said 100% we will be selling a magnacut version before long.

[@stuartb9194]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Thomas. Another year of great content.

[@unfi6798]

Nothing like a good old Browning. Happy thanksgiving from Australia.

[@armenarakelian9876]

Happy thanksgiving everyone

[@bigjohnt.7370]

I'm thankful for GOD my family, friends, and my health. I think you're doing a great job. Thank you for your service to our country.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I got so excited about that new microtech but to much disappointment they only have the DE version, I need the drop point. Microtech makes one of the best drop point blades on the Ultratech series. It has the same thick tip as the Tanto but with the best blade style.

[@MarkRVillano]

The traction inserts on the clip side of the Blur's handle are going to be some serious pocket destroyers.

[@jusme8060]

Browning doing some cool stuff...i like it.

[@davidhelka8929]

DCA great video man 👍

[@StarDarkAshes]

12:32 “TSOL” reminds me of the 80s band. I think it was True Sons of Liberty? I think they were a punk band so the letters probably stood for many things.

[@tracerxrider]

True Sounds of Liberty - SoCal punk band.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I really hope they do the magnacut in the Rat 1 size.

[@Edcreviewer]

Any chance Ontario released specs of the target hardness of the magnacut on the new RAT? I really want one but not if they are 60-61 HRC? If they are targeting 63 I will buy one right now but if they are targeting something like 61 that's just sad.

[@davidgarrett5671]

Not according to the specs at KnifeCenter nor there website. Like Spyderco and others they don’t publish it.

[@God_Is_The_Eternal_King]

Hey what's up knife center, happy Thanksgiving!! I have a question - do you guys think spyderco would ever make an otf? If so would it actually be good? 🗡

[@NS-yb1tu]

this year, I'm thankful for DCA and T-DAWG... like last year, and the year before...

[@bloodmorel]

I was very interested to see your thoughts on the Otacle. I love the Olight flashlights, but am wary of their knives.

[@roycesjourney37]

I have a rat 2 coated blade and green micarta handle. It’s great. My most carried knife.

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

The coolest Bel - Air ever !!!!

[@armands3001]

Çomeback for Browning!Browning had leading edge equipment in the past!. These look like great minimalist hunting knives!

[@jamesR1990]

Hey DCA. I've got a bit of an odd search request for you. I'm a farmer, and I use a lot of different knives in the field, but I'm really struggling to find the ideal pruning and harvesting knife. I need a 3"- 4" blade, in a hawkbill shape, with a high edge retention and high corrosion resistant steel, like Vanax, Magnacut, 20cv. And preferably one hand opening and closing. And not a karambit style like the Lionsteel one. This is a working knife for long days in the fields, so a reasonably ergonomic handle is important, which is what rules out ring karambits as they are more cumbersome in the type of precision work I'm doing. Thanks.

[@NaturalSynthetic777]

Need to see that microtech tested

[@FrankToThePoint]

Search for it. I watched him pound it through s 2x4 today

[@davidzomcik4577]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@joecorzine8057]

David, I bought one of your MKM knives the Nesmuck pocket tango

[@oddsavage]

Because of that new RAT and Chavez, my poor family is going to have to a skinny Christmas. Sorry kids, Santa gonna have a NKD!

[@GBall_Vision]

That's rough!! For them ahaha 😂😂

[@blackhogarth4049]

Chavez, please make a Blue Label version of the Street Sangre.

[@SMS2884]

Oh can't wait to see more blade shapes for the Ultratech. Pass for now. $379 not bad though.

[@Fly2kill1]

Yeah I’ll wait till a useful shape. I have a few now.

[@davebell7233]

I own and enjoy the livewire, but is there an after market pocket clip for it yet? I can't possibly be the only one who hates it, right? It's not the weird angle of it, but the fact that it's so small and tight to the handle. It's a chore trying to slide it into a pocket no matter what kind of pants I'm wearing.

[@ANukeWithLegs]

so what is Ontario back in business ? Last time I heard they closed down and some other company bought them out. I wanted to get some fixed blades from them when I heard the news. On EU sites it says that some OKC knives will be in stock in a month meaning they are getting shipped.

[@cylentone]

The Kershaw anniversary knife is disappointing. They had so may epic blades, why not build on those? Otherwise I am worried. This is the first Knife Center video after which I was not interested in buying any new knife.

[@hellhound2260]

33:01 I don't quite understand how's that a scandi grind if it's so tall and still has a micro bevel, I always thought scandi grind starts at half of the blade or shorter. Why not just call it a sabre grind at that point lol, what's the difference?

[@kfs173]

Get me that Bel Air in od green with the black blade and you have a deal.

[@lerch400block]

Does anyone know how Ontario does their heat treat? Like are they good at it?

[@stephenbarabas6286]

You don't start a sentence with "like"

[@Robert_Thomas832]

Clearly some do 😂

[@joelhansen7373]

I’m no grammar Nazi so I’ll answer your question. Yes, they’re good at heat treating.

[@davidgarrett5671]

@@joelhansen7373Are you basing this on previous RAT models make in the Oneida prior to being sold or ones made in the Taiwan factory the new owner contracts with?

[@kaifrolic5668]

Dang, I was going to buy two of these but y'all don't ship to Europe for less than 200 bucks before shipping, that's a pass from me :/

[@edwardk6764]

I want the cpm spy27 shaman I pre ordered already.

[@Spankus28]

Why am I more excited for the Rat 1.5 than microtech?

[@lerch400block]

I wish the Bel Air was bigger 🙏

[@The4cp]

Same here. There's quite a few designs that need to be 3.75 inches.

[@cicerolaska]

Rat 1.5 hrc??

[@davidgarrett5671]

Not provided by the maker.

[@MrAhuraMazda]

That Olight Oknife is my personal pick for my, every day carry, Sebenza killer. $80 cant beat it

[@Jimmy-gd5ho]

Id take any TOPS over that ZT for 330 dollars. Plus the sheath on the ZT isn't solid and can fly out fyi. Positive note.. happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@rtz549]

Can't believe they ship the Rat with the clip in that position. Would love to know their reason and stance on it.

[@charlesdudek7713]

My guess is it sits deeper in the pocket in that position. The lanyard hole is in the way of the tip up position causing the knife not to sit as deep in the pocket. I prefer tip up too.

[@tgonzalez1983]

I kinda want the Microtech zbt but I’ll pass. $400 is cheaper than a Hawk but nah. I never even use the otfs I already own.

[@KB-kw8ni]

Thanks for letting us know...

[@tgonzalez1983]

@ aww you’re welcome. Any more great words of wisdom?

[@anntomecklebarger3599]

I've had a Blur for 20 years, I think. I can't wear it out.

[@ElStriker777]

🔥👍💯

[@user-kl9ex1zx1c]

👍

[@Mbowen75]

I just received a utx-70 from Aliexp with hellhound blade with i mean almost zero blade wobble i mean very slight almost zero! And i can't tell the difference between the two and especially a$300+ difference in price i paid $25! And i know it's not American made ,American jobs ect, but American made knifes prices are getting ridiculous and priced out where working Americans can not afford so no i don't feel bad because if they want to sell their products to Americans why not price it so i can buy one and not have to worry about feeding my family for a week or owning a knife

[@KB-kw8ni]

How about stop buying inferior clones and man up

[@RFGCHOZENWON1969]

Sweeet ... 😁

[@The4cp]

The Livewire and Belair are too small. 3.75 inches, please.

[@valeriypykhalenko3113]

👍🔪

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I thought elmax, m390 and 20cv are all pretty much the same steel.

[@dat_boi3372]

M390, CPM 20cv, and CTS 204p. Those are the three you’re thinking of. Elmax is a slightly lower performing S45VN.

[@DonaldCrum-m5b]

Seeing mostly Over Priced. Come on now?

[@maverick_edc4014]

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Give your life to Jesus before it’s Too late. If you die in your sins without being saved you will go to Hell forever separated from God in outer darkness. This life is extremely SHORT compared to Eternity, and you’ll either spend it with God in Heaven or in Hell with the devil. No matter what you’re going through Jesus is right there with you and He always has and always will be, He LOVES YOU and is waiting to hear from You with open arms. Romans 10:9 “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Jesus is coming back SOONER than any of us Think!!!!!. Jesus is LORD of lords, KING 👑 of kings, and GOD of gods.

[@fredeschen3783]

O 💩

[@Xander_Park]

Kershaw knives are trash 🗑.

[@Ronmeag]

Putting any knife away wet will dull it. Doesn't matter the steel. It's just a fact same thing with the razor you shave with. If you dry it we'll after every shave it will get triple the life according to people who tested it
