Microtech QD Navy Seals Scarab Underwater Test (A Hollow Grind Video)

Thank you for joining us in another video from The Hollow Grind.

Please be sure to support us by purchasing all your Microtech Knives from us so that we can continue to bring you these videos.

After a lot of talks, forum conversations, and doubts, I decided to take the plunge (get it) and conduct our own real world test on these QD Navy Seals Scarabs.

We all have heard that these knives can fire underwater, but some have been told that the regular Scarabs can fire underwater as well.

This video should take care of any doubts.

Not asking you to conduct another Microtech underwater test-- but the Stealth model Scarab is absent venting on the blade, but does have drainage holes at the base of the handle. Do you feel the Scarab Stealth would also pass an underwater immersion test? Thanks

[TheHollowGrind]

@apophysis7 I noticed that all the single edge Scarabs I see have drainage holes at the rear of the handle. I suspect that the holes are just not large enough to allow underwater operation. I will now be looking for a used and abused S/E Scarab ...

what's the point of this knife? microtech is all show no real use. get an emerson.

[TheHollowGrind]

@TheHyouth The point of this knife is to give you options. Also, how do you figure that a knife has no real use? I have an abused utx-70 that would be offended by that comment.

Nice knife but overpriced for sure! I should have bought a dozen 5 years ago.Definately don't use one in self defense & wait around for the cops unless you have a military,DOD,etc ID.Even defense against an international terrorist i would imagine the courts would try to prosecute the hero even if it's for very good intentions. Has anyone ever actually used one in the CIVILIAN real world in self defense? .02

[TheHollowGrind]

@vodkatonic100 The only time I have used a knife in self defense is when the UPS box was coming right for me and I had to cut it open.

how much is this navy seal knife because i want it know

@TheHollowGrind

The only thing worth defending your life with is a firearm. Knives are cool tools for sure, but I wouldn't try to fight off anyone with it. Too easy to have it turned against you.

Sweet knife though I own a couple MT side opening autos that I love. Not sure if I should go with a D/A OTF MT or Halo for my next one.

@TheHyouth wheres the OTF emersons??? I DGAF about a side opener. Does he make any otfs

[Whocares05050]

I just purchased a tanto scarab bead blast (02/10) production and as im watching your video i see mine has the holes in the rear / back like the navy seals edition. Did they change this? Would mine work underwater? Thanks.

@vodkatonic100 I think you should worry a little more about how well your knife is made than how well it will slice someone open. A knife doesn't have to be all that well designed to be lethal (IE; The UK has tons of deaths in the streets by kitchen knives.) But for a knife to be a useful, durable tool, it has to be well designed and constructed. Your knife is a tool 99% of the time, and probably will never be used as a weapon. Think about it, mate.

[Yesmaamiagree]

@TheHyouth There really isn't much an emerson knife will do that a microtech halo won't. The halo series is extremely strong, durable, and well constructed. I'm an emerson fan, and a microtech fan. Dont hate on a knife company when you've never given their products a chance.
