Sorry, but I've only got one photo of this blade that I took last night. My wife has the digital camera with her for the day, so other pics will be forthcoming.
Yesterday at Blade West I scored a new UT6, black boride/partially serrated.
It's sweet.
I really like MT OTF's, but this UT6 somehow renders my CTII and Halo III Tactical....as relics. Seriously. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. The Striderguys and Steve Ryan snick-snicked my UT6 back and forth quite a bit yesterday at the show, and everyone was very giddy about this piece. It's addictive as can be.
The blade is beautifully ground and finished. Wicked sharp. Black boride makes for a very attractive and durable finish. It appears as a fine blued finish, yet super tough.
There are no safeties on the UT6's, but such a device would be superfluous on this piece. The firing button takes quite a bit of thumb pressure to activate, so I can safely say that there is just no way that the UT6 can possibly fire in your pocket.
I love the pocket clip feature. It allows for a very low pocket carry, and therefore appears quite harmless to sheeple. The pocket clip was ong overdue on MT OTF's, so I'm glad that they finally got a clue.
Overall length is 8" and the blade length is 3 1/2". While it is somewhat smaller than CTII's it somehow still feels just right. It's nice to see this UT6 hit the market. Microtech was long overdue for a serious winner, and this is the one. Very slick, very tight, and the gadget factor is incredible. This is the most affordable DA OTF on the market, and well worth the price. I'm quite happy with it.
