Much appreciated!! I think the 5 is probably my favorite of them all tbh. I love the size compared to the 4. I’ve managed to snag the whole collection somehow since doing this video and I have to admit that it was super difficult finding them all. Especially the 5 once it dropped. They sold out so freaking quick.
Lol thanks again brother! I’m absolutely in love with the Strider. It’s been a fantastic knife. Ive actually broke down and really started using it lately. I figured I can always get it cerakoted black if I scratch it up. Though it did take me a long time to find it so I was kind of weary about using it for a long time. 🍻👊🏼
An excellent collection of the operators. I always loved this series from protech the strider would be the one I would go for first. Hope to see some more collection videos soon. Great video brother 👍
Thanks brother! The Strider is just an excellent design to begin with. This one took 2 years to track down. Every time one would pop up I’d get cart sniped lol. I’ll definitely be doing more collection videos though for sure. I have all kinds of stuff I’ve maybe only showed off on IG maybe once, so it’s way overdue.🍻👊🏼
Lol I actually have the full collection now. Which is 3 or 4 more pieces I believe… I’ll be honest when I say this wasn’t easy at all. Once I started my search I didn’t even know so many existed. Luckily my determination prevailed lol. If you want I can give you a few tip of places that get them the most. I’m probably sure you’re familiar with a few if you’ve been searching though.
Absolutely outstanding collection!!!! #CollectionGoals #Flexing (The outro could've been you turning the lights off and letting the tritium glow) :P Thanks for sharing.
Lol most definitely! The Arcform Slimfoot is actually available on the website right now. It’s a pretty sweet little EDC blade if you like that shape in general of course.
That’s awesome!! Sorry but I’m just now seeing this. UA-cam doesn’t like showing me my recent comments for some reason so I’m constantly finding them months later smh. Sadly though this is the only one I do not have but hope to change that real soon. Of course I have the regular all black one which I’ve tried to get the tritium installed in several times but nobody will do it at the risk of getting sued lol.
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews Hahaha dang, that's a bummer no one will put it in for you. I've been seeing where the protech mordax button lock will be dropping soon. Looks like it'll be hella cool knife too!
Oh those are insanely cool! I actually had one of the 1st generation ones from about 3 years ago. They were on Amazon and Drop for a while but I believe they eventually sold out. I’m actually surprised they lasted as long as they did back then because that’s one of the best designs yet they’ve done.
Nice protech collection. I didn't even know they had an operator line. I can't carry autos in my state unfortunately. I wouldn't mind getting a Malibu if they ever have them in stock..... great vid thanks for educating me bout the operator line
No problem brother! Thanks for stopping in. But yeah they’re considered the premium standard for Protech and are super hard to find sometimes. They’re worth the hunt though for sure. Love the sterile look. 🍻👊🏼
Yeah actually I think I’m gonna start doing one a week. There’s just so many things I never get to film because I’m always pressed for time doing the other stuff. Thanks again btw🍻👊🏼
For me it’s more about the actual collection then it is anything else. I love anything with tritium so it was a no brainer for me. Honestly the godfather and the SNG are the only two that are that much. Well… the Rockeye too but for the most part I paid around $240 for the others.
Oh nice! I wanted the blackout Invictus so bad but I had about 20 other things going on. It caught me off guard tbh. I didn’t even know they were making more. I actually had one of the originals but sold it with my Dark Angel about 8 months ago… Which I still regret doing btw lol.
Excellent to see you operator collection man ! I’ve got to say that strider design just wins me over every damn time 😍! Although all definitely have there perks there 👌🏼. Interesting though how all the trit is at different angles on them. Do the trit buttons move around or is that just how they are ?
Yeah they spin. They just slowly move over time if you don’t constantly straighten them. I wish they would stay straight though. I actually have the whole collection now and considering selling some off. It would be dumb to hold onto because it doesn’t take much to scratch. If I used them then they wouldn’t be worth half as much. So I figured I’d let them go while they’re still BNIB. Some of them anyway..
Man that is one awesome collection of operators. Gotta say that Rockeye and SNG are my favorites. Hell I’d like any version of those. Damn that was a cool video
Much appreciated! They took a while to collect actually but I just recently scored the last one in the set. The 4.3. I think I’m probably gonna start getting rid of some soon tbh. Lots of new cool stuff is coming out I’d love to get in on. The Circle Of Knife I guess…🤣🍻
Yeah that’s definitely the downside. Honestly I’ve noticed every single one is different. If you look closely you can see the slight pigment variations in color. Which some of the darker ones I’ve noticed wipe right off… But some of the lighter ones can literally be scratched by my fingernail. I just try to keep those oiled up as best as possible to try and cover it up. It’s kinda unavoidable though.
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews I know! My Malibu has a bit of a scratch from my jeans rivets, and they kinda clear off. My Godfather didnt wiped off. Trying to get the CQC-7 Operator. Whats your thought on that one?
@ottogiancarlogentosierra644 Actually that one isn’t bad at all. The blade seems different than the handle. I think they aren’t consistently mixing it somehow. Or maybe they buy it like that… Idk. But it’s honestly hard not to notice the difference. My Malibu was actually better than most, but it had terrible lock stick.
I started my operator collection . I git the Godfather and finally got my hands on the SNG. I can find the others but the Arcform. If anyone knows please let me know. nice video I subbed
Here you go man… www.arcform.com/item/81/Operator-Slimfoot-Automatic-Knife That’s all you! In stock and ready to go. I have every single version now. Was soooo hard to collect them all but totally worth it. My favorite was the TR2 and SNG. The TR2 actually has the largest button so it has a bigger piece of tritium. Which looks killer btw IMO. Good luck on the rest of the search. Do keep me posted, I enjoy the feedback. 🍻
Sorry I’m just seeing this somehow. Sadly no. I’ll get one eventually I’m sure but I didn’t even know they were released until after they were sold out. That’s actually the only one I’m missing now though. Of course I do have the solid black one to hold me off but I’ve tried several times to find someone to install the tritium in the button for me with no success lol.
Now that's a awesome collection that Rockeye is my favorite Thanks for sharing Justin ✌️
Thanks brother!! It’s a great knife for sure. I actually found the last one since recording this, so now I have them all lol. 🍻👊🏼
Very cool. Thanks for showing them off
No problem brother! Thanks for watching!!🍻👊🏼
I want the Malibu,Rockeye and Strider.
BladeHQ and GPknives actually has the Malibu in stock right now for $320 I believe. Well worth it though of course!🍻
awesome collection! thanks for sharing
Much appreciated brother!! Thanks for stopping in as well!!🍻👊🏼
Wow awesome collection Sir, i just have TR-5 Operator, and i love it!

Unique and very impressive collection my friend! Thanks for the look! You’ve got enough tritium there to light up Bourbon Street haha
Lol thanks brother!! I actually carried The Godfather on Bourbon street a few days ago. No joke. I only live about 40 minutes away. 🤣🍻
Sick collection bro! The Strider is grotesque😍
Lol thanks again brother! I’m absolutely in love with the Strider. It’s been a fantastic knife. Ive actually broke down and really started using it lately.

Tyty!! Hope all is well with you!🍻👊🏼

I have a hard time finding just one from of the operator line and you have all of em,lol. #jealousy!

nice collection
👍👍
Absolutely outstanding collection!!!! #CollectionGoals #Flexing
(The outro could've been you turning the lights off and letting the tritium glow) :P
Thanks for sharing.
Lmao!!! I could have done that too had I thought about it. I was in the complete dark with nothing but my 2 recording lights on. Damn!!!🤣🤣🤣
We would’ve all been blinded!
🤣🤣🤣
Great vid man. It’s 1 thing to do a knife review vid, but to gather all the operators…. Thanks bro nd I do hope to get at least 1 Smooth Operator👌🏼
Lol most definitely! The Arcform Slimfoot is actually available on the website right now. It’s a pretty sweet little EDC blade if you like that shape in general of course.
Sick collection! I was lucky enough to get the blacked out Malibu with the tritium button at Atlanta Blade Show this weekend!
That’s awesome!! Sorry but I’m just now seeing this. UA-cam doesn’t like showing me my recent comments for some reason so I’m constantly finding them months later smh.

Honestly, I just got sick of CA law and got a TR3.
These were great to see. Any thoughts on doing future collection videos? Another home run with this video!
Yeah actually I think I’m gonna start doing one a week. There’s just so many things I never get to film because I’m always pressed for time doing the other stuff. Thanks again btw🍻👊🏼
Dang that was cool :)
Thanks man! Love my operators.🍻
Just ordered a swatt godfather.I couldn’t see paying $300 just for a glow in the dark line on the button release

nicee
Thanks!🍻
protech excellent
Thanks! They make some nice blades for sure. The operators especially.🍻
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews yes I have 10 protech, I just bought the Invictus model , protech of superb knives
Oh nice! I wanted the blackout Invictus so bad but I had about 20 other things going on. It caught me off guard tbh. I didn’t even know they were making more. I actually had one of the originals but sold it with my Dark Angel about 8 months ago… Which I still regret doing btw lol.
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews yes the invictus of protech is really superb. I also had microtechs in hand but I prefer Protech which are my favorite knives

Did u ever get your hands on a malibu operator?

There is one available today online
Really?? Where at??
Why no TR-5?
Actually it didn’t exist at the time. It was actually released maybe 2 months later though. 🤣
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews Thanx for the quick reply! I came here while searching for TR-5. You video was very nice showing the rest real well.
I appreciate it! Sadly YT just now alerted me to your last comment lol. Are you looking for a TR5 Operator? Or just any TR5?
BladeHQ has the textured Malibu Operator right now actually.
@@Tier1GearEDCReviews TR-5 Operator is what I'm looking for. Don't like Tanto type blades
