Nice! I have slight knife issues myself. How does that one feel? Looks like a beast.

Love the carbon fiber grips.
It's the latest in my small collection...
Here's a sample -

You got a 401k just in Micro Techs. I just got one a couple months back, the medium size version. Don't know why, just had to have one I guess.

Yes those suckers are crazy expensive!
Didn't really need three...
Those are much like the ones used in John Wick movies.
And we only live once right? LOL!

Oh man, that knife collection gives me a new itch, particularly th top 3 in the middle. I’ve been looking at those for a while.

How bout give a brother a rundown of what they are? I might have to do some internet shopping this weekend and I’m not too well versed on knives.

Oh baby, that's Pandora's Box right there...

1) Microtech Cypher (~$500)
2) Microtech Combat Trudoon (~$500)
3) Microtech Ultratech (~$300)

There are Microtech UTX-85s (~$250) and UTX-70s (~$230)
that are smaller (85% / 70%) versions of the original Ultratech.
Depending and the blade type and options they can cost much more.

The Ultratech I think is the original and seems to be sort of a Gold Standard in OTF knives.
My recommendation would be to look at an Ultratech and its smaller brothers UTX-85/70.

Good Luck :)

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and just one more thing Lord, when I grow up can I be Barth!

I think I got a UTX 70, got a super deal or I'd never be able to own one.
Be very aware of imposters, there's a whole cottage industry of outfits copying Microtech, even the logo. Imposters are not the real thing and sell for much less but not worthy either. They work, they might do for the average guy but not the real thing.
