As a former firefighter, I know what cutting through 1 3/4 inch hose line is like. Double jacketed isn’t easy to get through with any blade. That’s why I always carry one of Microtech’s blades in my pocket or on my belt at all times!

Glad you beat on the knife as I wouldn't with their price point. Coincidentally, also found a Combat Troodon the same day I watched this video I ordered that bad boy and now I'm geeked for Christmas!

Retracting it was what took some time. Definitely had to build up some forearm and thumb strength and get used to the motion.

Hopefully no one needs to warranty their knife in 12 years or so. I have a 2008 Ultratech, I called asking about paying them to replace the blade and broken main spring. They won't do it because it's too told. So apparently "lifetime" really means "until we change the geometry" or "until we decide it's too old". I distinctly buying a product with a lifetime warranty. I have other Microtechs that old and older that are still operating, so they're still within their lifetime. I've spent thousands on Microtech products and was about to spend more. However, I will NEVER purchase another one of their products again after the girl I talked to told said they can't help me.

I keep hearing people say something bad about MT knives. I have yet to find any problems with mine, I only own 4 at this time. 1 guy complained about a round metal edge that hit his hand when it was in his pocket. It wasn't something wrong with the knife itself. Its the way it was made. My first thought you want some cheese, probably. The hardest thing about my my combat troodon is the switch is hard to retract back. Guess what it is supposed to be. Anyway great video, you gave it a work out I will be carrying mine everywhere.
