Thanks for the review. I bought one of those same Bounty Hunters knock-offs from Ali Express for around $50.00 and it is OK. There was a different Company selling them too but they had their own Brand called Vespa. I paid $160.00 for a Vespa one and it is REALLY NICE! It is marked as a Vespa and not a Micro Tech, but its the same shape as the Combat Troodon and looks like a $2000.00 Marifone Custom--has Carbon Fiber inlaid to the handle and a little in the blood grove area of the Hellhound Blade too, which happens to be made from S35VN. It comes in a nice pouch with VESPA stitched into it, has extra springs and screws, the little Tool, and a cloth to wipe it down. For $160.00 I'm totally happy. It has been flawless and kind of makes the $50.00 Bounty Hunter one look cheap. LOL

Knife appeared to well made and functioned flawlessly...for a couple days. The weak poiont seems to be in the spring. Well not exactly the spring, but on each end othe spring is a bent piece of metal that catches on the blade. The piece which faces toward the front of the knife snaps after little use. I bought some extras from the seller. Two days into the second part, it also snapped. It's a shame they aren't using better steel for this part because otherwise it's a well made knife.

DHGATE has been a hit and miss say 25% of the time. You have to pay attention to the pricing and the size. If a Combat Troodon clone is priced at 50 or more, in my experience, you'll get a good quality but if it's priced much less, like half that much, you'll get a really bad clone. The blade will still deploy double action but the handle would be several times heavier than an authentic or even a good clone and the blade will have a lot of play to it. Sometimes there's a 10% chance of the internals being a lemon and unless you know how to fix an OTF, you're out 50 bucks.

Who knows? Maybe Microtech OEM made in China? But guess what! For 36 USD you can have everything the Real Deal has except the feeling of true originality. I have a Chinese knockoff of the Dark Ops Stratofighter. Well, was appx 20 USD in 2011. I used and abused it. Have never regretted buying the thing. I have 2 actually. One for abuse, one for the display. After this I went on to find the Extrema Ratio brand. So in this sense China has helped me find my way while giving me something to cherish! As a comparison, recently I managed to buy an Ontario Chimera plain edge knife, original of course. Cost me appx EUR 190 and the blade had dark patches on it due to a botched fit and finish. I would have been happy to buy it from China!

The "safety feature" of any and all DA OTF knives is really a design limitation, that has been turned into a marketing gimmick. DA OTF knives work by catapulting the blade from one end to the other by means of placing the blade under tension while locked, then releasing the lock so the blade flies one way or the other. Actual spring pressure on the blade is only momentary, relying on blade inertia to carry the blade to the opposite end lock. If, at the time of launch, the blade is blocked - even by paper, the blade has so little inertia that it will stall the instant spring pressure ends. It's not a "safety" it's just the limitation of the design. The REAL safety feature of a DA OTF is that the button requires a dedicated push, overcoming spring resistance (this is the spring inside being extended to place tension on the blade). It's highly unlikely anyone is going to have something in their pocked that can applied the needed force, duration, and direction to the firing button to make the blade deploy.

Just saw a side-by-side test of a replica UTX85 and it actually did very well in terms of being hammer on the blade spine to chop through wood, or hammered from the end of the blade to be hammered down through a 2x4, but when subjected to the "nail test" the blade retracted into the handle when the forward blade locked failed. Visualizing the internals, the lock appeared intact, so I suspect the locked failed by rebounding inside the handle as the it was being hammered, with the next blow driving the handle down, tweaking the blade slot and creating a bind. Real MT's have super thick blade locks, well-fitted into their recess which apparently eliminates the lock being "bounced" by hammer blows. Be interesting to fabricate a thicker front lock from tool steel, custom sized and fitted then see how the clone would hold up.

And all honesty, if microtech made more, they would sell them. You can’t blame other people for purchasing knock offs when the original OEM does not produce enough to fulfill the needs of the consumer. So it’s not a original and it’s not the collectible. It’s like going to Walmart and purchasing a knife. That looks kind a like a buck 110. It’s just a tool. They didn’t try to charge you $500 for it. The problem is, once that Knife is in the United States. It could be sold as a original, and someone may get taken advantage of. That’s the only problem I really see. if they were trying to sell it as a original and charging the $500 plus for it then I would consider it harmful to the community. Another thing, if microtech wouldn’t try to make so many customs, they could fulfill the needs of the consumer.

I can't stand spyderco vg-10. They never get the hardness where is should be. Probably for safety with their ffg blades. I don't know what the chinese knives are actually using but from the dozen or so I've bought it is excellent steel for cutting. They can match or beat tolerances of us knives. No reason they can't figure a good steel out as well. If it says it's D2 then it might not be real d2, but it will cut better than your average poorly executed US d2.

Spyderco Para 3 is also a great knife that only requires one hand to open and close. It’s not an OTF like the microtech but the quality is amazing and they start at only $160 or so. And made in the USA. Though, I think I might pick one up for days I don’t want to have a $1100 knife on me lol. Also, Great video!

I find it better to go to Gun/Knife shows in the country. You can see, feel ,hold and inspect what your getting as well as Hagel. It's true ,you might have to navigate the crap from name brand but it's not hard to find a honest vendor. I have OTFs at every price range including Microtechs. Don't order from outside the country.

The color scheme is meant to emulate Boba Fett. Having handled knockoffs and the real deal, there is NO comparison. The knockoffs are good fidget toys but the real ones can actually handle hard use. I carry my combat troodon every day.

I switched to the TacKnife (also a knockoff) about a month ago. I made a video about it. I like it quite a bit more but it was also $90 instead of $40. The bounty hunter got jammed 2 times but after cleaning it worked like new.

Wow I'd be surprised that it has D2 steel and not 440, I highly doubt that its D2. Yes there's a lot better metals to make blades out of, but it's not exactly bad either and the vast majority of cheap knives are 440

Microtechs packaging is 1000x better. Also they would never pair a cheap nylon sheath with one of their knives. Also the glass break is just for show and doesn’t function because the ball bearing isn’t made of tungsten like the real ones. Watch the microtech torture test to find out the actual strength of what you are carrying and trust me it ain’t good.

They are suppose to have pretty heavy wear. That's crazy haha This is the exact knife I want too or the zombie tech or Jedi but they are so hard to get. And so expensive. I wouldn't mind having a knock off just for comparing but still looking for a real Special edition Ultra or Combat Troodon. I do have the Exocet bounty hunter my first MicroTech. I got a ultra but the slide is way too stiff for me and I just can't justify having it simply because I love opening and closing OTFs and just holding them ect. Which the Exocet is great for. Might have to look for a Dirac which I think is the next easiest push slide other than the Exocet. Maybe the UTX-70 but those are just so tiny for the cost when you can get a 80 or Ultra for 20$ more haha the 70 is just a kids knife or for super good concealment. Thanks for the video.
