Microtech Knives

In 1994 Microtech Knives Inc. was established with one goal in mind. To create the best possible knives. This company, founded by Anthony Marfione, wanted every customer to receive the highest quality knife possible--and they have had unparalled sucess in doing this.
Each of their specialized knives is created with incredibly close tolerances. This means the knife you get is tight, high quality, and has no wiggle, wobble or play in the parts. They also use only USA manufactured parts, materials and labor. They also have a lifetime limited warranty on all of their products.
Microtech's tactical knives are the best in the industry--bar none. This squidoo page is dedicated to reviewing their products and giving you a good idea of what to expect from each of the reviewed automatic knives.

Microtech Ultratech

The Microtech Ultratech , when it first came out, set the knife world on end. It is Microtech's original dual action out the front knife and has been their biggest line over the years. It has undergone a few modifications over the years but each time has become more reliable and more efficient. This amazing OTF knife comes out fast and locks up tighter than you will believe. Microtech has designed the Ultratech to have the spring in an "at rest" position when it is closed. This dramatically reduces wear on the spring and keeps it ready for action.
The Ultratech is a favorite in the military because of its quality construction and durability. You can depend on this knife to deploy when you need it to.
The Ultratech is designed in many variations including single edge or double edge but regardless of your favored style, the light weight OTF knife opens easily one handed and has a very thin profile and a razor sharp blade. This knife is a masterpiece.

Microtech Currahee

Fixed Blade Fantastic-ness

The Currahee was named after a Cherokee word which means "Stands Alone". This fixed blade knife is the one I would want if I was standing alone. Orignally designed for the US Special Forces Boat Team 20, the knife went through a bunch of field testing before it was put into full scale production. In the high intensity proving ground, the Currahee stood out. Microtech says, "This knife far surpassed all expectations, and therefore, we gave it the name 'Currahee'".
This fantastic survival knife comes with a very nice ballistic nylon sheath that can be strapped about anywhere. If you are looking for a long lasting, high quality survival knife or fixed blade combat knife, give the Microtech Currahee serious consideration. It comes in a variety of colors. You can also get it with serrations on both sides, serrations just on the front side, or with just a plain blade--as shown in the picture. I think I like the plain blade best.

Blade: D2 Tool Steel .200" Thick RC 59-60
Blade Length: 4.48"
Handle Thickness: .75"
Handle: Green Canvas
Overall Length: 10"
Sheath: Ballistic Nylon
Weight: 9.88 oz.

Combat Troodon

Microtech's "Wounding Tooth"

The Combat Troodon is a top flight OTF knife made 25% larger than the original Troodon. It has the same slender handle, contoured shape and radical design elements that the original has but in a larger package. This knife is specifically designed for a wide variety of utility purposes as well as close quarter combat situations. In a word, this is a spectacular combat out-the-front knife.
Like all of Microtech's knives, this knife has precision workmanship and incredibly tight action. You slide the button up and the blade slides out. Once it triggers out and locks up tight--the blade has virtually no wiggle in it. The tolerances are amazingly prcecise. Almost unbelievable. I work with wood as a hobby and if I could get some of my furniture pieces this tight, I would be Sam Maloof reborn.
Looking for a top flight OTF knife, here is one very viable candidate.

    To remove an UGG Classic Tall Stripe Cable Knit 5822 stain from UGG Fluff Flip Flop 5304 with chalk, file the chalk down into a fine powder; rub it firmly over the offending spot. If using a teabag to remove a winter UGG 30th Anniversary stain, place the teabag carefully over the spot while wet, then leave both teabag and ugg boots as UGG womens Handbags Triplet http://www.classiccardyuggs.org/ugg-bailey-button-triplet-c-37.html overnight to dry. The drying process often draws the foreign material off your Aussie winter UGG Gypsy Sandals 1759 and into the teabag, resulting in your Australian ugg 5125 looking as good as new afterwards.
