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.

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
