    You can use hot water clean it out , then use rem oil and soak it up , then compressed air . That’s what microtech tells you to do

    Id definitely recommend getting a bit to take it apart, 100% worth the investment, i used to build and install cabinets with my dad and it would get saw dust and shavings in it, and the ability to take it apart to deep clean is great

    Good update vid.! Thanx bro.! I've been carrying mine to work every day. I do hvac. It gets dirty fast. I've been using clorox wipes to clean mine. Squeeze some of the juices from the wipe into the knife & sling it out. & then I flush it out w/ oil. It's been working pretty good so far. I've been using the wipes to clean other knives for a few years now w/ no discoloration or anything. I was carrying a 940 for the past 5 years but for the past few months I've been carrying my ultratech, thanx to your encouragement & I'm finding it hard to carry any other knife now. Good looking out.

    Great video illustrating how phenomenal these knives are. Soaking with oil and spraying with air works in a pinch but honestly, spending the $7 on amazon or ebay for the bit to disassemble is the way to go. Take 15 min and a q-tip to clear out all the grime. Learn the spots to lightly lube and it will function better than new. Any other type of folder really needs similar maintenance a time or two a year. These are fun and practical edc tools, if you can clean a firearm, you can maintain these.

    My bro-in-law bought a MT OTF some years back and I was instantly smitten. I bought a Combat Troodon. That started my mild knife addiction. I am probably up to a dozen knives now from my OG Buck 110. My current desk knife is an Olitans 024 (boxes and food) and my EDC is a weird gravity knife Paragon Warlock which has issues better covered elsewhere. My Troodon is currently guarding the interior of my safe. I have settled on a folder as the best knife out there, pb washers, thumb studs and a frame lock is just plain bulletproof. But as a semi knife nut, gotta have weird stuff like the OTF and my gravity knife to name but a few. Tis part of the fun.

The ceramic rod on sharpener is perfect to bring the edge back damn near to factory while not damaging the blade profile which would jeopardize your warranty IMO. Will continue to touch up with ceramic rod until I need to send it off. The built in 20° angles on sharpener work extremely well for other knives. Highly recommend it to anyone.

    Just take it apart, they are a simple device! Does opening a Microtech void the warranty? "We understand that some customers may prefer to maintain their own knives. Sharpening your knife does not automatically void the warranty. The warranty will remain in effect so long as the blade is not improperly sharpened and the handle is not damaged or stripped due to disassembly, determined at our discretion. Sep 7, 2020" MICROTECH

    @@delav83 Stropping, probably not. Touching up the edge, I don’t know, but I can speculate. I guess it’s technically sharpening but if you can’t tell it’s been touched up by looking at it, that might fly under the radar. Now that I think about... Imagine them opening a package sent in for legit warranty work, but they notice it’s been sharpened so they toss it back in the bag and send it back. That would be ridiculous, but who knows. 🤷‍♂️

    why not just throw a knife into a can of oil 😂 I’ll tell you a secret for many - these knives should not work with oil. Oil attracts all dust and dirt. Anything inside that is oily will create a problem in the rubbing sliding mechanisms when dust and dirt adhere. Compressed air without through blowing is pointless - all the dirt inside will turn over, but will remain there.

    You are not supposed to use any type of liquid lubricant on a microtech and the TRUE way to maintain their otf is to remove the glass breaker and simply blow it out with compressed air then if you absolutely have to lubricate it then powdered graphite is what you use... you're actually better off running dawn dishsoap and hot water through it than a liquid lubricant...
