Microtech Ultratech OTF Double Edged Satin Review

One of the best Microtech model – Socom Elite, with machined aluminum handle, bar lock, carbide glass breaker (lost already), and CPM S90V TiN coated blade. I using this knife for only special tasks which require extreme sharpness and low angle tip – semi surgical things, like cutting off splinters without drawing blood. But to fair I tried it out against rough tasks – like cutting roots and digging, cutting notebooks in half, drywall – etc…But just to try, it has unique tip to do delicate jobs. It does not show extreme performance on manila rope tests, better then average but behind CTS-XHP, ZDP-189 etc. However I consider it as good performer, because of excellent design, flowless fit and finish and precise mechanics.

Got some ‘new’ knives on vacation. They aren’t in circulation anymore. Anyone know when they were made? I wasn’t able to find that info. That made me sad.

This is the perfect knife to strap onto your bug out bag. Lightweight and nimble

Jeff from KnivesAndGear.com, does a great job of reviewing this excellent knife. It’s my EDC carry and surprised by the light weight for a small knife.
