Ok, I have a b-day around the corner and the wife is asking for ideas. I've wanted a Microtech for a while now and have narrowed it down to one of these three. Which one should I get?? Also should I get plain or partially serrated?

Ultratech II

Halo II

Halo III

Halo II looks coolest to me, so that's what I voted.

 

[redshifter]

halo 3. it's jack bauer's knife.

I know nothin bout knives, so I'll go off aesthetics. Halo II looks cool, though the others have their selling points.

Ditto.

I just checked the price on those things . . . damn.

Voted Halo III - Love the chisel point blade

(I'd be over the moon with any of them TBH)

I'm no knife expert, but I would choose the H.A.L.O. II w/ plain edge. It would be nice to have serrated edge, but I would think you could get by without it. The blade is slightly thicker than the Ultratech, but there's nothing wrong with extra strength and support. The tanto blade is probably more tactical and less utility, because the angular tip allows greater impact when thrusting or stabbing. From what I understand, S30V steel is more durable than the 154 CM steel on the Ultratech blade.

Halo II, and go plain. If you MUST carry a serration, carry a separate fully serrated knife. A partially serrated blade is one of the worst ideas ever, IMO, as far as pocket knives are concerned.

I'd go with the plain Halo II aswell.. I think it's the best looking of all of 'em.

I carried one of these for years until a cop buddy told me my state measure ALL sharpened edges when determining legal length (3.5 inches or it is a felony charge

).

Very tidy,low profile,black blade so no blade flash,releases like a cobra strike and whether strapped handle down on the wrist or tucked into a belt band with the handle sticking up (concealed weapons laws

) jumps to hand fast and is not ugly before that

I'm aware of the state laws but because of what I do for a living I have... privileges

so which one of the three I'm stuck on??

That Gerber is nice but justnot what I'm looking for.

Torn...knife...I get it. Next time, keep the knife away from cloth. :rimshot:

BTW-you should see my Claymore dude ! I imagine if I ever decide to go "postal" that is the one I would break out to make my point

I was lucky enough to get my AR before the ban in 1999 so I would probably use that... and my .50 as a side arm

We need a gun thread!
