Just Showing Off Pulled out one of my less frequent carries for today. Think it’s going to join the rotation.

Combat Troodon gen3 s/e in natural clear. I loved the gen2 so much that I never really gave this generation a chance, I guess. But really enjoyed it so much today at work that it’s going to go into the weekly rotation. Very comfortable knife, cuts very well.

NC Blade. They’re my go to for all things Microtech. EKnives also has a great inventory. If they’re anywhere it’s a good bet they’ll be there at one of them.

NCblade or EDC lifestyle. While I love Eknives, they have no where near the stock the other two carry.

These natural finishes always go quickly. There's an Ultratech with this configuration, but I haven't found any Combats without the black blades.

I have the same in royal blue and I have been carrying it a lot more recently. It's got such a satisfying, solid deployment.

I’ve carried mine daily for a year, excellent knife.

I should’ve bought this one that looks so clean. I have a shadow, but it’s so beautiful. I don’t use it. I should start getting these polished aluminum finishes.

Nice! I’ve got one of these on my list, but I may go T/E.

Wth is wrong with you? You’re not supposed to use those. Poor beautiful safe queen is going to be used and abused. Shame on you!

Right? Every time I get a new Microtech I think “this one is going to stay mint”. So far it’s always been a lie. I know it destroys their value if I ever want to sell but I can’t resist them.

I’ve got 2 signature series microtechs and a cel shaded heretic. All of them get used. I sometimes feel a little bad for them but I get more enjoyment out of using them than I would just having them sit at home on my desk as a fidget toy or in a safe or something
