I gotta admit- I love me a quality OTF. There’s something about the staccato twang of an auto that’s at the same time romantic and intimidating, conjuring images of 50′s vagrants snapping their fingers and dancing in step. However, this is not one of those knives. Instead the Microtech Scarab is a knife that for me is straight out of James Bond, especially this Navy Seal edition knife. Made with exotic materials, exceptional craftsmanship and heaping helpings of WIN, this special edition Scarab not only looks the part, but it preforms too. Capable of opening underwater and sporting a tritium inlay in the slide, the Seal Scarab is a technically complex and very, very cool switchblade that boasts tremendous cool factor. It’s easy to carry, lightweight and compact, making it the ideal spy tool for your every day system. Thanks for watching and as always, if you like this video please subscribe to my channel!

The biggest difference between the Halo V series and the previous models is the size. At almost 11″ the Halo V is a big knife with a big blade (over 4″!). In addition to being long, the blade is extremely thick. To ensure the best blade/handle ratio the tips on these knives come right up to the top of the handle (be warned- don’t drag your finger across the blade’s exit point!). The action on these is fast, they hit hard, and the lock-up is excellent. The Halo V knives have black anodized aircraft aluminum handles. The knife …
Here is one of the best all round outdoor fixed blades you will find. Perfectly designed knife, feels awesome in hand, and a superb sheath. Not much more that a guy can ask for! The AUS-8 steel is not THE BEST steel out there, but it is more than adiquit. The cutting test that I will show you was done with a fresh razor edge, and at the end it was just shy of a razor edge, and still was in a spot or two. With a couple of minutes of honing it was back to it’s fullest and none the worse for wear. Notes: I have reprofiled that edge to 20 degrees although it will still be razor sharp without it, this just gives it a little bit of a sharper edge. During the test there was also a lot of cutting that I didn’t have time to show you, so AUS-8 steel is no slouch! I am giving this a 15/15 raiting
