TNP Microtech Ultratech: 200 Worldwide

TNP history in the making: the first ever factory collaboration knife. This is the TNP Microtech Ultratech in anodized FDE with special bayonet blade, markings, and fittings. The first 25 sold will be signed by me and each includes a certificate of authenticity. Price is an high value $219, even lower than the special arranged price of May 2012 on the regular Ultratechs! Value will increase over time, maybe by A LOT. This is a gorgeous, extremely capable, lightweight collectible OTF tactical/EDC blade. Thanks to Jake at Blade HQ for helping spearhead this special project for TNPrs. My Ultratech sidebar writeup follows.

Here's HEC personified in this classy auto. The Microtech Ultratech gets most elements right. It is light for this sized OTF at just 3.8 oz for it's 3.4 inch blade. The double action is fast and sure, the lockup is tight for this style of blade. Many blade choices and steels have been offered in this popular Microtech blade: bayonet, drop point ("standard"), tanto, and double edge grinds. These models feature CPM S35-VN steel, an appropriate choice. Blade finishes include Scotch Brite (called "satin" by Microtech), camo variations (favorites), and the handsome stonewashed option. Most are shown and discussed here, tied into POU preferences. All examined UTs arrive with perfect grinds and scalpel sharpness. Top on the list is employing the Ultratech as a HEC blade. Attention to detail in all models examined, even 2012 ones, looks flawless. Ergonomics soar due mostly to the slim handleset, high traction deployment button (located topside, doubles as a thumb ramp too), and useful handle jimp milling. I find the deployment too hard to actuate and it should be softened up in future generations perhaps. The UT also carries discretely with the deep pocket clip, butt mounted in conjunction with a large glass and head breaker point . That features adds coolness and utility. Durability and strength are high for the type however complaints on MT service are noted (but not verified yet). Value for a superb quality USA MADE OTF knife is excellent, especially when secured with the Nutnfancy discount at a recommend retailer. Expect around $225 vs about $400 for a Benchmade Infidel OTF, also an excellent blade. Like the Scarab, Troodon, Combat Troodon, and UTX-85, this Microtech is a Hall of Famer in TNP and is a capable, lightweight tactical and HEC option./////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 10 out of 10, 11 out of 10 for TNP Special Edition/////////////// Get it for LESS at: http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Nu....tnfancy-Specials--91
