I 100% like my GT better than my ultratech! I absolutely hate the glass breaker and the pocket clip needs a redesign for better deep carry

Recently got to try out a guardian tactical and I instantly bought one after trying it out. I’ve owned and carried my ultratech almost everyday for over half a year and it’s good but man the guardian tactical I bought is so much better. I picked myself up a GT Scout and I recommend everyone that’s interested in GT to please try out the action if you get the chance.

Microtech is like the Olight of the OTF world. The fit and finish is good but GT feels so much better in the hand.

Well, microtech is reliable, unlike olight. Never had a gt for the feel, but I don't have a problem with microtech for the feel.

I've wanted a guardian tactical for a few years unfortunately it hasn't been in the budget I would definitely like to check one out though

If the Guardian Tactical wasn't as slick as a bar of soap, I'd still have mine. Finger grooves are no replacement for jimping. If they make a Version 2 and make it a smaller Recon 040, I'd buy one.

How about the guardian scout otf vs Kershaw livewire

With one exception, GT's knives (made in the US, so tons of access to technology that allows them to design these however they want) are right hand only. In 2024 there is no defensible rationale for designing an OTF line that is (except the 040) exclusively monodextrous. Microtech, Kershaw, and others are superior for that reason alone.

Guardian tactical is far superior than microtech.

Microtech UI/UX low key sucks. It shouldn’t take all of your thumb strength to deploy the knife, that defeats the whole purpose of having an OTF, which is all about having a premium user experience. I think microtech has gotten so arrogant thinking they are the best in the OTF game and that they don’t need to work on improving their product anymore. Apple products are similar nowadays, their phone UI sucks also. The lesson here is to not stop improving because your competitors will gladly take your customers from you.

Scarab 2 is the best otf of all time

@@user-zw8bg5kc2u not at the $500 price. Kershaw livewire and guardian tactical OTFs are much more affordable, have a way better feel in hand. If the scarab 2 was like half the price then it would be a good contender but spending 500 bucks on a knife (with crappy warranty and customer service I might add) is just too much.

The Microtech is hard for females and the elderly? Yeah, no. I'm neither. The Microtech action is crap. Guardian Tactical is superior. In fact, Heretic is also superior to Microtech. Yes. I own all of these brands.
