I would take this knife over a Microtech every day of the week. Hawk encourages you to take the knife apart and clean it and even provides the tools and videos to do it. Microtech voids your warranty if you do it. Hawk has one of the best customer service departments in the business and Microtech has one of the worst if not the worst in the business. Yes, they are expensive but worth every penny.

I've got a Microtech OTF and I couldn't take it apart even if I wanted to. I don't have the tool that's needed to take out their screws. I think only Microtech can do that.

It is a solution to a null issue that is based on people's OCD mainly. Blade play is actually a good thing in an OTF as it gives you a little looser tolerances in case of buildup of debris inside the chassis so the blade will still deploy and retract successfully. None of my OTF knives blade play has ever caused a performance issue

For >$1k it needs to be perfect and it's not. It is close though. I too would like to see it cleaned up a bit and for the clip to be passive pressure as opposed to fulcrum. Other than that, I love it. The symmetry and deadlock achievements are a game changer that should make microtech take note. It would be great to see them create a mass production model once they have gotten the design to a more final state

What do you do if you deploy it into something hard and the knife goes into the handle? (I say this because with OTF’s when you deploy it into something hard then the blade goes into the handle and you can’t use it unless you pull the blade ALL the way out of the handle)
@bullridermusic2054
3 жыл бұрын
All you have to do is given a whipping motion with your wrist, and you will be able to grab the blade from there and pull it all the way up to the deployed position, and it'll be good from there. I've done this many times with my Halo V, Dirac, and my Combat Troodon as fun to see how far these OTF's can penatrate. Let me tell you this, the Microtech Halo V scares the hell out of me with the single action engineering. Realistically it would go through half your hand at the very least 😳😳

@@charliebowen5071 I don't want to get into this discussion, but double edge knives are used to the intent that the user has, just like any other knife, hammer, rock, etc... Most stabbings in every country are done with kitchen knives. I'm in Canada, so I am not "allowed" to own one, which is ridiculous imo. I'm not huge in OTFs but wouldn't mind having a couple for collecting purpose or to even use as an EDC if I ever felt like it, same goes for balisongs, which is one of the slowest opening mechanisms, yet illegal because of its image. If I wanted to kill someone, I don't need a double edge OTF for that purpose.
