Very cool knife. The box looks like it's from the 60s. Would be cool if someone knew the details

Wow

I've been loving your videos. It's great to document these rare knives. Thanks!

So, can you still get them ? If so I'd like one or two 😊

I had one of these and a custom cutlery shoppe kydex appendix sheath for it in the closed position

That thing is nice. Highly illegal right? Lol I only ask because it looks like it is over 4 inches and it has a double edge.

I got one issued to me in Iraq in 2005. Still have and carry it.

weird comment, but the one I have has survived Houston humidity and still looks new

They were ridiculously expensive when introduced

I did a disassembly of this knife, or halfway disassembly. I discovered that there is a panel that is magnetized to the body of the knife and if you get tweezers with hook angle you can get in where the knife lays in the body, of the knife, and push up and get this panel to reveal itself, that way you can easily remove the panel and adjust the pivot!

Regular people will say it’s just a regular knife an thus it is I say it does indeed look cool

Kinda ashamed to admit i had no idea Butch was involved in these. I totally see it now, though.

I have a Deadlock and like it, though I have had a few QC issues with it. I was considering a MT ZBT mostly because they should be releasing other blade designs than just a dagger

Nice share

What are the chances Gavin would sponsor a similar test with a deadlock? Doesn't have to be a finished one, could be a blem of some sort. I would love to see how one would fair. I have a handfull of deadlocks and have always been curious what the limit is.

Was this before you nailed that knife through a couple boards? What video was before this one?

Folks over at Microtech watching this are cringing right now hahaha. So, you're nailing it through a board to fix the vertical play? LOL Great video! You definitely put this knife to the test.

Great Video, Thank-You, RICKSTER

Great vid series, Chip. Looks like Tony needs to add a steel insert into the chassis to take the abuse where the aluminum is failing. Or maybe he figures if you’re using one that hard that you don’t much care about a little bit of blade play🤷‍♂️ either way, I appreciate you making the vids.

Have you ever gotten into the Dalton automatics?

Sorry if I'm being intrusive but how much does one of these run? Maybe not the aluminum one but one of their dual actions at least

Thorn ?

I didn't know other makers used a set screw in the pivot. All my Farid's have it. Really ingenious feature, and it works great. Any idea who was the first to use it?

And isn't AGA known for their cheap quality

I'm sorry I don't think I heard you and I'm kind of being lazy. Did you see those are nickel silver bolsters?

One of my medic buddies had one of these. He swears by it and has carried it for 6 years. His only btches about sharpening it 😂

This is my EDC knife, I found it on the floor when I worked retail. Used and abused for 5+ years, no wiggle or lose actions.

If you're ever given anything away let me know. Me and my son will be waiting for you

Man you have all kinds of stuff. I read that wrong too. I thought that said crkt and it was like they didn't make it sabenza but at this point I wouldn't be surprised

Is there a reason why there's a hole in the flipper tab? I always wondered that

Under the absurd UK blade legislation it would be forbidden to so much as own this knife, much less carry it in public. Any knife where the blade is stored within two halves of the handle is prohibited. Definitely a unique one with the double half-stop slipjoint-springs.

Interesting! That could be converted to an automatic with that lock bar mechanism.

nice review !! I’ll go look it up now thanks for showing ! I’m sure they sold out !!

Beautiful! Another one i want.

I love it!

Goodness it's a sweet knife though...

I wish the pocket clip didn't look so cheezy....

Nice! 👍

I have a few of these and they really are pretty neat little gentlemanly knives including a couple with the original boxes and paperwork. They were made in the early 80s i believe and I think it was just called a rotary lock, but I would have to double check. Aus6 steel. One of mine has a thinner handle which wraps around the wheel up top on each cover giving an even cleaner look. They are sometimes listed as model 2100 also. I pick them up when I see them and the price is right. Pretty interesting mechanism that works quite well and since the handle is super neutral i can choke up on the ricasso.

When I was a teenager I had a mudd And I didn't know what I had because I got it from my uncle man. I wish I could find that thing

Sheesh 😳 What’s it worth?

I'd kill for BM to put designs out like this again. Cant see them turning away from $300 steel/g10 axis locks any time soon, though.

I'm having a problem. I'm not getting notifications You posted stuff

Great comparison video

Thanks for the comparison. I am also a deadlock owner and I love everything about them when they are closed. The locking mechanism comes with a price, the blade length. When opened, the deadlock blade looks too short compared to the body to me. I have the Scott Topper Shrike, it has a solid lock and a more esthetic body/blade ratio. I think the Shrike is the gold standard for the OTF's

Great video I have three deadlocks one aluminum two titanium it sounds like the microtech is gonna have to re-engineer the inside for the use of some hard steel on the next iteration

Very informative comparison video. Long time Deadlock fan/owner here. The Atreus has a really cool design aesthetically compared to the Deadlock. And you are right, these are not users to most of us, including me 😂 They are just fidget toys. I can’t wait to add the Atreus to my collection.

Nice comparison. However, as one of those people that never liked the Deadlock looks, I find myself slowly building up the willpower to shell out that kind of money on the Atreus.

Super cool!
