[quote name="mikegideon" post="1162398" timestamp="1403673717"]I have one just like that showing up tomorrow. It's not a Protech, but its a great knife for the money.[/quote] Ditto here. I ordered it online and had it delivered years ago, knowing I couldn't really carry it.

Mike's right. The button is mighty stiff

some Remoil helped it a lot.  And it has gotten better from my playing with it

Yep. I did some real sparse Tetra gun grease. Need to get Dolomite to do a trigger job on them :)

[Mike.357]

I am sure grease would be better than remoil.   Dolomite could probably make them silky smooth.  Mine almost feels like it has a two stage trigger in it.  A small push seems to load the button and then an easy push releases the blade.   Other than that it take a push with a little authority to make it open.

Same here. Don't want to slick it up so much that it goes off on its own. Last thing I want is to have that thing thrashing around in my pocket. At least it's right hand tip up.

Well we will have to see, I think one of these will let you know it's open. The only knife I have ever had open in my pocket was an Opel, it was sneaky. I didn't know it was open tip up until I stuck my hand in my pocket. I modified the lock ring to lock the blade closed after that. Will be best to carry them in an empty pocket so nothing else can pull the trigger, kinda like a Glock.

If that Boker comes open, you'll know it. Stout spring

[Will Carry]

I like the Tanto blade and I carry a SOG Flash II. It's a great work knife.

 

[willis68]

I go back offshore in a few days and I should be bummed out, but I am actually excited, I Know when I get back this time I will able to carry any knife that I own legally!!!!!!

[Lumber_Jack]

Won't have it till July 2nd probably but this is the plan

Yeah I'm jealous. Ill be carrying this on my first motorcycle ride after July 1st just for the hell of it.



And this will probably become a traveling companion pretty often. 9" blade

[willis68]

Been wanting one of these for a while finally found one and just ordered it. Probably will not carry it a lot but now I can if I want to. Should be here in a couple days this is a pic off the net of the one I got. Will carry July 1st just to celebrate our new freedom to do so.

hopefully you bought that from my buddy Dave at The Hollow Grind, The Halo 5 is awesome but Microtech customer service is non existent unless you buy it from one of their Master Dealers

I totally dislike the right hand thing.  I am a southpaw.   I am practicing opening it with my left index finger.  Been lifting a five pound weight with that finger to be able to push it in for opening.

 

I never thought about it being wrong handed and all.  I gotta find a lefty knife now.

 

And it will never ever open on accident.

I am getting better at left index opening.

Not from there another dealer in TN only person I could find that had it in stock.
Will keep him in mind though. The Halo so a sweet knife for sure. Edited June 29, 2014 by Jason in TN

We're getting so close to be legal with auto's! I can't wait! :D

[tarheelbball]

I liked the Rockeye so much that I had to try out the TR-2. Just a tad bit smaller (has to be under 3" @ work) and I wanted a serrated blade.

This.

Actually it's the same 3 1/2" blade Case i've carried for 20+ years, I keep an edge that will shave hair off your arm. I do have a cheapo Milano auto but i'm afraid it would open in my pocket. I do however celebrate the end of the stupid knife laws tomorrow, i'll be looking at knives a little more.

[K191145]

Maybe this.  :)

That would look just too cool to open carry my G21 and have that right next to it on my belt. Might get a few stares from some people.

 

 

Glock Knife.
