Anyone seen the Microtech Matrix thats out now. I remember the Project X from MT and it was obviously a blatant copy of the ZT 777. Now this version is available??? C'mon get real Microtech!!! I knew there was a good reason I never purchased their products.
 
Its not even half as sexy as the 0777. Nor does it have half the features. And at that price, its obvious what the better buy is.
 
That's some BS. Has anything been done by KAI about this legality wise? A non-knife-loving average person could tell the craptech is a BLATANT copy of the 0777!

F&F are probably in different leagues as well, out of the 2 M-tech's I have handled they both had bladeplay (one was new!). I'll probably never get to handle a 777 in my lifetime but I can guarantee that if someone gets both they will chime in and say which one is dominant.... the ZT!

Yeah, I saw the MT Matrix go up on a dealer's site earlier today and had exactly the same reaction as everyone else here. :thumbdn:

Like you guys have already said, they've replicated the general looks but basically none of the features/materials that really set the ZT 0777 -- and Kershaw/ZT's other high-end models -- apart (composite blade, KVT, etc.). And yet they're charging more for it than the street price of the 0777 will be. :rolleyes:

That's pathetic. Now I know why ZT changed their policies about releasing information about new knives.
 
If they were otf knives of course they have blade play. But my socom elite has none. It's fit and finished extremely well. This however is rediculous, it's almost like they got a 777 handle, put their dumbass screws on it, changed the clip and ground an identical blade out of cts-bd30.
 
Why don't we get together and contact the vendors selling these knives and let them know they won't be getting our business if they continue to sell these models.
 
i want to know how they can do it or why if they copied they should know they would be sued im sure

Click to expand...

Neuron, please PM me with the site info if it's not a problem. I'm not interested in buying the MT, just want to see this BS firsthand. Thanks.
 
How shameless can microtech get? Really? We should sticky this so if anyone looking for this monstrosity will find out about this horrible truth.
 
Interesting, looks like the dealer who had listed the Matrix yesterday has taken it off their site. I didn't see it browsing the site and when I tried the link that had been saved in my Sent PMs folder (from when I sent it to type00rev as requested above), it just redirected me to the main page of the dealer's site.

Here's hoping the reason for its disappearance is that the dealer did the right thing and refused to stock it as soon as they found out that it was a blatantly stolen design. :thumbup:
 
They really took it down. They linked it on the Facebook yesterday and I made sure to speak my mind about it. Those pics are now gone as well. Good for that dealer!
