"This is the LUDT, we have a bunch of different variations in stock on the wbsite" Ahhh, those were the days...

[@kozmo7]

I feel like literally nothing is in stock anymore

[@P.W.R.]

@@kozmo7 Covid really screwed it up, and things were already hard to get from BHQ with popular knives even pre-covid. I haven't seen BRS balisongs in stock from their website in over a year. I admit I don't check every other day because that would be ridiculous, but when I remember, I check. Nothing in stock for ages. BHQ is still one of the best to buy knives from, even with the low stock. Because if BHQ doesn't have it, no one else will.

[@alskoj]

You guys are what's great about youtube! Still deciding on my first Microtech OTF purchase.

[@187metalmonster]

Love dagger blades. You have two edges to use. Comes in handy more than you think. I have the troodon, ultratech and Dirac. All in daggers, all in my edc. But also love my combat troodon with the hellhound in bronze coating and carbon fiber front scale

[@Lee62bt]

I have a Microtech LUDT Automatic Knife Tan (3.4" Stonewash) and I love it! The quality of the knife is just awesome.

[@jps3b]

Love Microtech. I bought an Ultratech, UTX-85, and a UTX-70 before I even knew what I was doing. I did end up with the hellhound blade on the Ultratech and I absolutely love all three of them. Of course I purchased them all from @BladeHQ Keep rockin boys 🇺🇸🔪💪🏽

Dagger blades are great for cutting tape on boxes and opening packages. You simply don't have to change your blade direction when cutting a box open.

[@chases.7252]

I carry a dagger blade every day. I have a Microtech Ultratech in Violet with a 204P dagger blade. When I bought it, I didn't think I'd really like having a dagger that much, but it turns out I use it every day at work. A very large portion of my job is receiving freight, guns, guitars, parts, tools, whatever. When I'm using it in my day to day workload, there is actually something to be said for not having a dull side. You stick your knife in the center of a taped edge and you can cut both directions without flipping the blade. I realize I might be a bit of a niche case, but I absolutely love my dagger bladed knife.

[@pippin2898]

As a fellow big bearded dude, Kurt's shaving segment had me laughing so hard. Keep up the good work.

[@jackdaniels7913]

I do EDC my ultratech dagger and I like having that point to piece anything you may want effortlessly, as well you basically have 2 blades in one hand you can cut up or down and I'd one sides a little dull from use the other sides probably got a little more edge to get the job done. 🥃cheers🍻

[@cynic4159]

I have an OD green with Bronze hardware UTX-85 dagger blade. I love a dagger blade!! It is so great for nothing at all but man does it look great. I carry mine all the time.

[@BenKickert]

Ahh... thought I was missing it.

[@Patriot-rising]

I have the Ultratech with the dagger blade as you call it. No serrations just dual plain edge. I purchased it while I was in the service. It was purchased as a purely defensive knife. Absolutely great knives. I own several auto's including a pre Blackhawk Masters of defense which is another great knife , the folding blade doesn't deploy as fast as the Ultratech. I own a Gerber tanto blade I believe it is a 06? It was what was suggested when I joined the service. But shortly after picked up the Microtech ultratech. And I also have a fun little Schrade mini extreme. It is fun to deploy and has a lot of snap. The problem with it is that the blade doesn't always snap into lock position. I just purchased a Benchmade Infidel. I think I am going to like it a lot. Anyway for knives that can take a real beating and still perform would have to go to my Gerber and my MOD. My dream knife is a G&G Deadlock..

[@patricksmith6253]

I EDC a dagger blade when I'm not at work. I carry either my infidel or autocrat. The convenience of an otf as an EDC is amazing.

[@jackdaniels7913]

I just got done playing with all 3 sizes at my local shop and you truly need to put your hands on them to truly make a decision based on your grip and EDC needs, the 85 is the same size as my Kershaw from years past the full size ultratech is not much bigger and is a good size in the hand the 85 again is the same as my EDC of the past 10-15 years and the 70 is the smallest practical EDC I'd consider it is very small in the hand but has a very comfortable feel and is easy choked up on wen out and all but completely disappears in the pocket and yes I tried all of them in the pocket just to get a feel for what will be my new EDC for the rest of it's/ my life... I think I'm going full size and then 70 latter on and skipping the 85 simply because the 70 and it's full size module are exact clones in a 70% scale where the 85 had a slightly different screw layout and I'm just that OCD 😉😉 good luck to anyone in the market and I really hope you can find a local dealer to have that hands on feel you really need to appreciat what your hand and pocket are really going to want after all it's a large investment in a knife especially if your like me and spend less then $100 average ever 5-15 years as you lose one or brake it lol 🥃cheers🍻

[@Excalibur01]

I love my Combat Troodon with a dagger blade. When I press forward, the serrations held to keep your thumb on the switch and I hold my thumb on it

[@patrickcurran7987]

Love Microtech Knives. My EDC is a Dirac Delta w/ Apocalyptic finished dagger blade in 204p

[@natkirk7633]

I like a dagger blade for edc mostly bc it gives me a razor sharp edge no matter what similar to a double bit axe. I never found myself putting my thumb on the back of a blade for edc so I never worry about it.

[@nathanwoj2244]

I’m late to this video but in regards to the dagger blade. I like them strictly for appearances. I don’t mind them for EDC but it’s not my go to for EDC. I had a dagger edge micro tech and just found sharpening it to be a little annoying trying to line up the bevels perfectly at the tip

[@az_sun__1787]

Well that was an interesting video to say the least! 😂😂😂 Leg shaving & knives! What a way to spend a Friday... Laughed my bunz off! Thanks guys!

[@Evergreen1400]

The knife that has been clipped to the strap of my backpack for the past 4 years is my S&W HRT dagger ,it was only $20 and like I said has been with me every day for the past 4 years so that’s my true EDC. It’s not a good knife to throw in your pocket but when it comes to self defense blades there’s nothing I’d rather have then a good full tang double edged true dagger. Mine has hung upside down on my backpack and never fallen out of its sheath but it’s also quick and easy to deploy.

[@fisher7897]

That was one of the funniest things I have seen in a while!!!😂

[@The_Ghost923]

I have had a Combat Troodon for s bit now. Black on black double-edged dagger blade. Awesome blade!

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

You guys seem to have a great and supportive culture at your work!!!

[@mississippidrifter5960]

I carry a ultratech dagger blade edc and I usually have a kbar ek-44 on my belt. It's just my personal preference. I can use them for self defense and if one side gets dull I always have another one.

[@benschwartz7739]

I EDC a dagger troodon and it does well for EDC. The utility of the blade style is nice. Havnt had to defend myself with it but given the durability from all the every day stuff it tackles I'm sure it would hold up well. Just glad I live in a state I can edc a otf knife without bullsh!t harrassment.

[@kayakengineer]

Excellent Video! I just discovered the Socom and think I will buy the auto version. Keep up the good work.

[@jasontimmons1568]

I wish the Microtech Stitch would have made the list. I love my stitch. The blade shape hits on so many levels. Stout blade stock, super pointy tip and a great grind. And of course it fires like a Microtech.

[@Wadeo-om8lm]

You guys are hilarious! GREAT video and nice review of the Microtechs!

[@timijai22]

So my EDC for work is the Socom elite manual. When I’m not working I carry the combat troodon with the dagger, partially serrated blade

Just got my ultratech yesterday in black with an apocalyptic dagger blade and I love the action I just wish it was a little less stiff

[@Mattalsky]

You guys should add Cardboard fort to the wheel! 😆 I'd love to see y'all get creative with that!

[@axiosg8787]

Thats why I like bayonet style blades so much cause you essentially get a dagger blade but with that safe thumb spot

[@IM-uf9wn]

I’ve had my Troodon since 2014. Used it while in the Military and held up like a champ. Other than cosmetic degradation, the thing still fires like new. Like anything else as long as routine maintenance is kept up you shouldn’t need another blade for a while.

[@Jacob_6420]

Is tearing into it needed or just the rem oil?

[@tecategt5]

I love a dagger blade, it’s the same price as a single edge, so you get twice the cutting edge for the same price. It’s more value.

[@perspectiveflip]

Looks less unique& cyber tho

[@willcresson8776]

My only druther with dual edged daggers if that even in states that allow for the carry and use of OTFs/Autos they have rules against dual edged dagger blades. Iirc, Virginia is like that. I prefer bayonet style blades for that reason.

[@JacobVichique]

I absolutely enjoy my Microtech Ultratech Spartan Tactical. I removed the pocket clip because I holster carry with a kydex sheath and ulti clip... Fits perfectly in the watch pocket of a pair of pants! I ordered mine off blade HQ but wasn't happy that on the site it was listed as M390 and when it arrived it was Elmax. Still a great knife and it's been through hell and back with me. Used it to break a car window and pull someone out of a flipped car and just last week ran into a burning home to pull out a 3yr old little girl and hadto break a window to get out. It's become my daily after my infidel was stolen and I couldn't be happier with the smaller size still very heavy but it feels great! A D/A OTF is the only knife I will carry besides a fixed blade when wearing gloves! After having it for a few months I ordered a few more to keep for years to come! I don't care to send it in for cleaning and sharpening with Microtech's terrible return time... It's a hard use EDC for me and I could care less about snail trails and love marks. Great damn knife!

[@jsmunitions1471]

I like the dagger blade as an EDC. One edge is plain and the other fully serrated. I like this setup better than traditional single edge combo blades.

[@nathanielhintz4190]

I've been wanting a Microtech OTF for the longest time! Would love to win that GAW!!!

[@trippleoseven]

Dagger blades are my fave tbh. My edc is a combat blade because I carry for self defense purposes.

[@danzigrulze5211]

I have always carried a boot knife or even a full sized dagger as my combat knife, and as a self defense role after I retired from the Army. When you are using a knife to try and save your live you want to go straight for the kill and clothing and equipment can impede a knife's stabbing ability. I know it sounds violent but it is what daggers were designed to do, dispatch the enemy as quickly as possible.

[@BuddhaDog93]

I've only carried dagger style OTFs as my main intention when carrying an automatic is self defense. Not use particularly. Hence my love of the "glass" breaker 😘 This is actually my issue tho. Given how expensive they are, I haven't had much chance to experience their different blade shapes. For whoever's is reading what do you think the best combo of defense and carry would be? I like the idea of the dagger eith serrations only on one side. But it still leaves the problem of blade strength kind of (not as much with the high grade metals they use but) and safety of having a double edge. Any ideas? Spartan seems great for self defense too

[@mattwalters6834]

I like the way you’re thinking; I for me one of these OTFs would be used as EDC and other utility work, good for defense, and the glass breaker would be good if you need to get out of your vehicle and opening the door isn’t an option. Of course, you could always use it to to break other types of windows if you’d need to get out of the house.

[@joshyancey7666]

I have that Commander! The same one! It’s incredible!

[@v10climber]

[@oldskoolhoss7534]

Thanks bladehq for the sweet sweet content and most definitely for the giveaway!

[@StreetRocketJoe]

I have a troodon d/e, utx 85 d/e, combat troodon d/e, ultratech d/e, and Halo 6 tanto. I obviously love the double edge, why? I think it looks right and the wow factor on peoples face when it comes flying out is awesome. Plus if you have to use it in a combat situation it is possible to strike with the wrong side of the blade, in the heat of the moment. Obviously double edge fixes that situation.

[@jasonking6222]

@Blade HQ y’all should do a knife banter on different balisongs (butterfly knives).

[@topkekistan2930]

what is the type of the OTF knives that have the switch on the side of the knife? for example, the AKC Concord. I’ve wanted to know if there was a classification of OTF knives that have the switch where the Concord has it.

[@cfuzzkennedy]

I love my LUDT! It’s well used and still badass!

[@csquared4538]

I could see EDC a dagger if I carried a fixed blade edc already. Just to be able to sharpen it and have twice the edge between sharpening, but that's about it. Maybe like a partial dagger with a half sharpened edge/half swedge would be interesting.

[@busaj383]

Seems like a nice list, I have about half of those, even a fancy blue custom that was only $1200 tho 😬 ha But all I want to know is do u guys sell that ceramic box cutter??? Because that is the only thing I want now 😮🤯❤

[@251cchavers]

I edc a DE ultratech dagger plain edge on one side full serration on the other.

[@kayok07]

My regular edc is the clear or see through microtech ultra tech with a dagger blade and I'll say for EDC maybe not the best blade but if I did need the other side for defense I see it maybe handy I do have a hell hound version which I carry as well which may be better for others

[@gills3141]

Ive had 3 mts loved my combat but it was a dagger which is useless. Love my 2 socoms. 12/97 and 02/12

[@bullridermusic2054]

The reason I love my ultratech with a D/E dagger is because one side is fully serrated and the other is a straight edge. If I need to cut through something extremely tough like a seat belt or tough thick rope quickly, I'll use the serrated edge which will cut through like butter. There is a test online to prove what I'm saying. Not to mention, the stabbing ability with a dagger is greater and there is also twice the cutting edge on a D/E dagger than S/E obviously.
