Yesterday the postman brought my latest purchase, a Microtech Vector manual. This is my second Microtech knife and on the basis of their superb quality and great design I am sure it will not be my last one. I anticipate this is the beginning of an Microtech addiction.
Now my question, I note that many forumities are Spyderco, CRK or Benchmade enthusiasts but as far as my experience goes comparatively few express their enthusiasm regarding Microtech, so where are the Microtech enthusiasts?

I am not envious you little sadist! :p

Serious, that’s a impressive collection, you must be a lucky man!
 
I'm new here and have only posted a few times.
I also don't want to offend anyone but I do like to speak my mind.


I heard that Microtech knives are overrated.....


SEE Ya.
 
I only have one Microtech, a LCC M/A, but I really like it. It is a great edc if you don't mind the weight. After I carried it a while I didn't even notice the weight anymore. Great knife IMO.
 
My manual action SOCOM, the original tanto grind from the first run got me started with Microtechs.With a drawer full of other knives, including a collection of LUDT's, Hawks, OTF models, Kestrels, and Vectors, it is the knife that seems to always go into my pocket the most.
It's been all around the world (literally), and cut everything. That first MT and my Sebenza seem to always end up in my pocket somehow. Whether just to the store, the Paris opera, or the Golden Triangle, I just feel better off with it. Jeez, I am getting all misty eyed here.......Yeah, I like the Microtechs.

Freedom1 -- So, you're exploring the joys of trolling now? Trolls aren't wanted here.

Your case is particularly frustrating, because you have asked for help in some of your early posts. In going over them, it is clear that you ignored all the advice given you on your first request for advice on which knife to buy.

Today, you're asking for guidance on sharpening your BM. On all the threads, several people have gone out of their way to try to make you welcome and give you carefully considered advice. Then you come up with the s&%t of your two posts here.

Why don't you just take your juvenile trolling sense of humor and go away?
 
I'm also hooked on Microtechs but just starting. It started with an LCC, then a Socom Elite AT, then a UDT and now on the way a Medallion. After you have one, it just seems that you don't want to get anything else but Microtechs. :)
 
Here's a Microtech fan. For a production knife they are hard to beat. For a production auto, they are the knife to beat.
 
Freedom1,

Thank you for your input. :rolleyes:

My Microtechs.

I like knives as much as the next guy -- actually a lot more than anyone I've ever met in person, but....

what is the point of collecting so many of the same thing?

Mike,

What you are looking at is the history of the Microtech UDT from the first 8/94 UDT until the second generation L-UDT.

Every one of those UDTs are different.

If you can't see that; you won't understand. :)
 
Rick is right about his box of UDTs. Each one not only has a different story, but has distinct physical differences, blade grind, action, finish etc. I particularly like his examples of the grind work that Walter Brend did for Microtech.
 
Wow Rick!!:eek:

And I thought James was "the" UDT man!! Can he beat this??

If so I gotta see it! ;)

Freedom1: Don't believe everything you hear. Buy one and try it for yourself, before passing judgment. Pick up a BM mini-reflex and a MT UDT then compare the two. You'll notice a difference.
