    Microtech did make a rifle and it didn't have a glassbreaker. Lol. I mean you could Def break glass and a lot more. They produced an American made version of the Steyr AUG , the stg 556

    I own both and absolutely regret buying the infidel. You pay more for a knife of significantly lesser quality. Id never recommended the benchmade. If you're looking for an OTF the Ultratech is basically unmatched in quality for the price.

    In my limited experience, running OTFs dry is best. It's worked way better than light oil on my Hogue Counterstrike, and it's what G&G Hawk recommend on their deadlock.

    The infidel gets allot of hate. Mainly from knife guys. I know multiple people who have used one for many years. Including on deployment. No doubt it's an outdated design now. I would carry one and have no worries about reliability.

  • @dougr5379
    @dougr537910 ай бұрын

    The shape of the Infidels handle and the positioning of the pocket clip and deployment switch are the best design for deployment and use of any OTF made. I do really like Microtech, just not for serious stealth situations.

    I have one of each and give a slight edge to the Infidel. It's better ergonomically and fires easier because it is better broken in. Microtech doesn't mind if you open up their knives, they sell the tool after all, but if you get in there and screw things up it will void the warranty. Opening it for minor service or oiling/maintenance will not void the warranty.

    @@Jimmydeanmerica: Thank you for your honest recommendation. I’m leaning that way too. I love the sound of the blade as it comes out and goes in…”zip zip”. Whereas the Benchmade had a lower sound, “zap zap” The one thing I keep getting stuck on (not by the knife) was when you showed both knives side-by-side. The Benchmade is larger…almost molded for a hand…and I have large hands (no, I’m not trying to overcompensate for “something”). 😂 I think before I buy, I need to see if there’s a knife store near me (Phoenix) to pick each one up.
