size comparison of Microtech's Combat Troodon, Scarab, and UTX 70.

[MrRockhardalan]

I bought 3 microtech knives. A Scarab, Combat trooadon and a Ultratech. All three broke not 3 days after normal use of just flicking the blade in and out. I sent them back to the dealer that promised me a full refund, (still waiting ) I was very dissapointed to say the least. I put down a lot of money for 3 microtechs and the springs broke in all ALL 3.

[oromoto]

@MrRockhardalan Darn, that really sucks. I hope MT upgrade their qc control.

[rightsman123]

@MrRockhardalan Unbelievable, did you resolve the microtech issues. We're you happy with the dealer. I just bought three microtechs, an ultratech, combat troodon and a makora. I hope I didn't waste the cash....

[oromoto]

@rightsman123 not yet, need to send in my utx70 next time I visit US.

a UTx-70 is no devensive blade friend, nobody whould place there live in such a small knife. it's a perfect knife for small cutting tasks like opening food packadges or something, not good for defence. the trodoon or scarab are way better suited, of for that matter a halo whould scare anyone off. sthe trodoon i'm still looking for, there's to much nice stuff i like out there

[oromoto]

@9nova6 Yeah it is short. But I'd like to see it as last ditch defensive tool. Since it is so light you can have it even as a neck knife. Primary defensive tool? never :) Try to get a Scarab, I think it is the best of the bunch.

[9nova6]

@oromoto i have a navy scarab, and that is next to my halo_v my fave microtech ever, that thing feels perfect, i don't really care fot the exec version, i prefer the gripteck inserts like you have to in your scarab.

i carry the YTX-70 in the pouch on my belt, for little tasks, for defensive purposes i probably go for my Ka-bar that is in my backpocket if needed, wich not has happend thankfully. the scarab is indeed the best in that bunch. love the scarab

[oromoto]

@9nova6 Have you seen a video on youtube testing the halo v and scarab? You will be disappointed at halo v :(

[TheShanessenahs]

Nicely done. Many thanks!

[oromoto]

@TheShanessenahs Thank you for watching!

[jojo1026]

cool vid size comparison is real nice thank you.

[oromoto]

@jojo1026 Glad I could help.

[spsilvgo]

nice, nice. I have my eye on the UTX 70... maybe some day. thanks for sharing!

[oromoto]

@spsilvgo hey there, thanks for watching and I hope you get one soon!

[oromoto]

@Flash9590 hey there, the CRKT is a Ken Onion collaboration it's called the Eros. I have a video on it, check it out.

[darkchild57]

That UTX70 is really small! I've always wondered about that. Are you going to pick up an 85? I still want a regular Troodon and a Scarab:) Lol, you should place that Combat Troodon next to a HALO V, it'll make it seem small! Thanks for size comparison.

[oromoto]

@darkchild57 I don't know, I might not pick up a 85 but I am really interested in the new bayonet grind on the ultratech. But...I don't know been spending too much money. I need to take a wallet rest.

[darkchild57]

@oromoto Lol, yeah, I know the feeling! My wallet is so light now it floats off when I take it out of my pocket!

[samurai165]

Beautiful microtechs man! great vid as always and congratulations on winning bankmind80's contest!

[oromoto]

@samurai165 hey thanks bro! I was really surprised!

[Tanrichguy]

Great variety of MTs. I especially like the little one (utx?). Not very practical but cool nonetheless.

[oromoto]

@Tanrichguy exactly! the coolness factor got me.

[1AbominAble1]

Well my friend, you are making me miss my old Microtech's!!!! Thats a really nice collection you have.

[oromoto]

@1AbominAble1 Thanks R.! It's always good to have a Microtech around :)

[lokiodin]

great video, i always wanted to know the size differences, thanks

[oromoto]

@lokiodin you are welcome :D

[pwrmek]

Thanks for the size comparison!, it is very helpful and interesting to see them side by side, it really shows how small that UTX is, but I have always had an interest in smaller sized gear.

[oromoto]

@pwrmek hey! yeah, it is small and light, I just wish they can be carried legally around.

[pwrmek]

@oromoto I can carry them legally here, but some places in the U.S. they are illegal, like in California, but that State is just barely considered part of the U.S.

[oromoto]

@pwrmek LOL why is that?

[pwrmek]

@oromoto California is an ultra Liberal state, you can tell those policies are working well since they are like 25 billion in debt or whatever - My wife is from S. Cal. but we would never live there, that state is in deep doo doo

[oromoto]

@pwrmek lol...you are right at some point!

[tjsulli790]

I never realized how small the UTX-70 is. Nice vid.

[oromoto]

@tjsulli790 it is really small, it should be a really nice EDC if you can carry it legally.

[DesertKnifeGuru]

Awesome Trio !! DKG

[oromoto]

@DesertKnifeGuru Hey number 1 :)
