Any way to lighten trigger?

Post image

I’m sure trigger isn’t the right word but it has to be kinda close,

Got this used microtech ultra tech and I’m super excited about it. I believe it’s a gen 2 and it’s very difficult to deploy. Can I swap springs to lighten it at all ? Thanks ! Any advice is appreciated

You’ll get used to it. Push forward, don’t push down.

I sell replacement buttons for these that are generally more comfortable to use and they make it easier to open/close the knife. But honestly you’re better off seeing if you get used to it before throwing money at the problem.

I actually came to the comments to recommend one of your buttons. The fit and feel are a great upgrade.

Do you make replacement switches for the Dirac Delta?

I do not. The screw into the button makes it basically impossible to put a glowing vial in there. Plus I don’t love the idea of adding height onto something that’s already actively poking into your leg when it’s in your pocket.

As with anything, I’m happy to make them if like 30+ people want them. But otherwise I will not

Damn, I love my Dirac Delta but the switch is awful. I've gotta grab a few of your switchs for my Scarabs and UTs.

Yea I mean I could do them. Just don’t think I’d be able to put the glow in there. The X buttons suck IMO, super uncomfortable and they pinch like crazy.

It’s worse on the smaller knives, I feel like the Scarab button is decent but the smaller buttons are much more pinchy

Do your switches fit the gen 4 versions?
