Got this as a gift from my dad. He won a set of three microtechs at an auction he went to The action is a little stiff and I can’t find anything similar models online. I struggle to deploy the knife lol.
Just wondering what should I do about this rust any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I just traded for this on knife swap. This will be my first microtech. Can someone please tell me what gen this utx-85 is please?
I have read that there is no detent and the blade is held in place with the lock. Is the blade supposed to move when forcing the knife downward with the blade closed as if you were trying to gravity open it? It doesn’t deploy but there is some movement.
With the recent re-release of the Hawk Auto, I figured it was a good time to go back down memory lane to see how it started out.
This is one of the few models in my collection that can display the whole roadmap from custom prototype all the way through production release.
We start in June of 2019 with the Mirror Polish Hand Ground Hawk Auto Prototype Smooth Body (SN 001)
Then shortly after in the same month, we move on to the Production-Ready Hawk Auto Prototype Smooth Body (SN 001)
By the end of June 2019, we have up the Hawk Auto Proof Run Smooth Body (SN 001)
We then move to around August 2019 and on to the final iteration in the process, the Hawk Auto production Smooth body release (I have a random serial release from later in the run)
Somewhere in the design process, around August of 2019, it was decided to try a grip inlay body pattern which you can see in the Hawk Auto Proof run with inlays.
Deciding this was a good path to move forward, they released the Hawk Auto Grip Inlay production model (SN 001) in September of 2019.
Timeline gets a little fuzzy on the next iteration. Sometime shortly after they built that SN 001 of the production release, they decided to make a new layout for the grip inlay, allowing more of the inlay material to be present on the body. This change can be seen on the front and back of the knife (Random serial from later in the series)
They have started to serialize the Halos and they are including it on the COA card.
Absolutely love the double edge and the green that almost turns gold. Monday carry is gonna be 🔥
Picked this up used combat troodon interceptor I’d like to confirm it’s authentic it seems to be but I know there’s a lot of good fakes out there .
I bought mine from Scheels and I’m pretty sure I didn’t get a declaration card. It’s just the standard tanto model, but it has marfione signature on the charging handle.
What’s up with that?
Edit: Thank you everyone for the help! I found out it was a floor model so it was probably lost. IDK. But I am still upset because they did not disclose it being a floor model.
They hooked up the price match and a small discount for a floor model. I can still return it and order a new one but it’s gonna come from some other state so I’ll probably pay shipping.
Not sure what I’m gonna do but this was a good start. Scheels had been amazing with everything. Awesome customer service. And thank you to all that responded here!
all of the same build or model just curious what color combo is best and y’all‘s opinion
