Torture tests show it to be really strong. Lots of people always complain about the grivory scales of benchmade knives when in reality, no one ever uses their knives hard enough for it to be a concern. Regardless, benchmade’s pricing is pretty damn ridiculous.

Why would you need to ditch your blade? 😅
For anyone wondering Ultratech vs UTX, the UTX85 has a very very similar blade length to the Ultratech while having a more compact and proportional handle. Highly recommended, not a “small” knife at all.
The microtech one is John wick's knife! ❤
I love how you make the cheap plastic handle of the Benchmade sound like a positive thing lol. Sure it is for weight savings, but that just makes the price even more egregious. I also don’t think that many people really care about weight in their knife.

That Microtech ❤
All I heard with the shootout was “all the same price of a reliable metal frame without all that pesky reliable material” 😂
This is pretty cool especially since I'm scared of knives and don't like knives that just fly out near my fingers, while this just comes out pretty far from your fingers.
Got the Kershaw livewire a very nice OTF really like the weight of it.

I own a bunch of otf’s I think for something you’re going to beat up it’s fine, it’s a little plasticy.
I agreed about MT and Kershaw knives, but Shootout feels as a cheap plastic beanbag. Even AKC's F16 feels much better in sound and quality. I believe that Houge is the best OTF producer in price quality perspective.
Ok now show me one that won’t burn my wallet
OTF’s are cool until they gum up with crap and stop deploying. Nothing more embarrassing than trying to deploy an UltraTech and getting the Limp Blade. “Wait, hold on…”

I love me some girth lol. But forreal the microtech is good even tho the quality has gone downhill over the past few years its still better than most otfs. The benchmade is garbage and always will be garbage. Like the infidel 400 plus for a d2 blade with tons of play and a mushy action. All benchmades are over priced and very lacking in quality these days. The only exceptions being the griptilian and the 940. The kershaw is pretty good for the money, it and the 85 are the best options of the 3 for sure.
Stupid question from someone who is no expert on knives: is it possible for these knives to accidentally deploy in the user's pockets?
DEMONSTRATE THE SIDE TO SIDE PLAY That’s the one thing I hate with OTF knives Show that these are better quality to convince me because as of yet every one I’ve owned has jiggled back and fourth and it’s really Annoying.

Otfs are pretty interesting in that regard. You either pay less than 100 bucks and get something either crappy or just mediocre, or you get something above 250 and have one of the best knives you’ve ever used. My guess would be the complexity and precision of the design, along with making it sturdy. An ultratech is one beast of a knife, it’ll tank whatever you throw at it.

I am reaaaally bothered by any OTF that doesn't have a two sided blade. Such a waste of the medium. One of the biggest downfalls of pocketable knives has always been that a folding format does not easily facilitate a two sided blade. This is where the otf should shine.
