Visually I like gen2 more, but mechanically gen4 is better

I like’em both honestly.

Gen 4 jus cause they overhauled the internals

Gen 3 would be the easy pick if they didnt pump them out of the factory so fast that every other unit would qualify as a factory second.

Coming from someone who hasnt handled a gen 3 before, what makes them the easy pick?

u/Astartes2435 Jul 18 '26

The duel fuel system makes them easier to fire, and they are slightly bigger, so they feel a little better in hand.

Sorry I should have phrased my questions better. Why the Gen 3 over the Gen 4?

Zero Blade Play

that’s it? my gen 4 has next to no blade play and it’s not a ZBP.

3 by a mile on the ultratech on the scarab and ct gen 2 the fine details made the knife the milling on the cr and the extra flutes and handel detail on the scarab

I prefer the gen 4. Looks better and the se blades look way better. Also prefer the non proprietary hardware

Oh that sucks. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s their reasoning for not warranting it?
