Hey all, I just received my newest knife today!
The Microtech MTX2 with a partially serrated Satin finish blade. For all of you waiting for this knife, here is my review of it.........
:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:
The darn thing shows up fresh from the factory with a chip in the blade & a total of 3 scratches also in the blade.
Oh, did I forget to mention that the blade had some play to it! I guess this is the quality that I can expect from Microtech huh?! Maybe a bad one that escaped the factory, but still!
Oh well, my new replacement one is coming Wednesday & this piece of crap is going back ASAP!
Overall it has a nice feel to it, kinda hefty, but nothing bad. It weighs in at 4.8oz on my postal scale. Seems just a hair smaller in length than my LCC's, but a little bit wider...... but I cannot do a direct comparison becasue Microtech has had BOTH of mine for almost 2 months now
...though they said I will have them back next week sometime. The auto opening is quick and positive, but there is just that little bit of play in the S30V blade....The all carbon fiber handle is quite attractive & has a hole in the bottom of the handle for a lanyard, which they don't supply :grumpy:
There are 2 things that bug me beside the above mentioned items.....the thumb studs seem too big for the knife. If they were smaller, you would be able to open the knife easier. They do have a neat Carbon Fiber inlay on the blade under them which is a nice touch. Next is the backspacer that looks cheap. It appears to be a black G-10 type.
The carry is tip up only. If you wanted to remove the pocket clip, guess what....you can't! Microtech refuses to supply an allen wrench for it's special screws on here. Doesn't matter to me though....I already bought a full set that will take it appart if I desire to do so. Everyone else...would have to send it back to them & grow old waiting for their knife to come back.
It comes with a nice nylon sheath that has an adjustable clip on it so you could use this for other knives if needed. The back of the pouch has an adjustable velcro opening for various sized belts. The total weight of the sheath is 1.6oz.
I will try to do a follow up with the new one if it is even worth a crap when I get it
I hope that it is.............
I know, I know...not much of a review....but I just wanted to give people a little heads up on what happened to me with this new model.
