Finally, I ordered my first Microtech otf. Decided on the Cypher II apocalyptic wharncliffe. I've always really liked the Hellhound blade design, so i do plan to buy another at some point, but I'm thinking it would probably be worth waiting for Gen III Hellhounds & Warhounds.
This is a great first look video, thanks! I just got a proof run version for $470 (score!) and I love the fact that it doesn’t have the cheap looking glass ball on the pocket clip.
I got my wife this blade from MT as a gift and holy crap I am jealous. I have the older smaller version (not the cypher) and she is blown away. Awesome AMERICAN MADE quality, made here in Western NC! Thanks guys yall really turn the knife world on their head again.
I got my cypher 2 yesterday. I honestly prefer the silicon carbide ball on the clip and this will definitely be in my rotation. I have the cypher 2, combat troodon, and the scarab 2 in the new releases. I’m waiting on mt to release the combat troodon in an S/E blade…
I bought one thinking awesome I'll have warncliff microtech.... yea every single time you open or close it, it's dragging the edge on the gate so it's guaranteed to daw every time you fire it!! Built in dawing mechanism!
What makes you think it’s dragging the edge every time? You’re the only persons I’ve seen say that. Have even talked to engineers that have taken cyphers apart and they’ve all said it does not drag. If yours is you probably have an out of spec gate.
Wierdly specific use case. Strange choice of housing action for a skinner but! Hey? Thats cool. Not a personal jab, I went to college to be a chef, they POUND sanitation into you. Ohhhh, my next question was going to be, "Where are you that a combat action is also very applicable as a skinner, you on an island?" Nnope! Its Floridaman! Godspeed Floridaman! Godspeed you crazy sonnabitch. You have fine taste. 😅😂
@@edged_mindsetdude I love your content, and love how you layout your posts. All that said…. Quick question….. would you be willing to part with that Cypher? I would love to purchase it from you if so. Thanks again and keep up the killer videos.😊
I really liked the look of the smooth body variant of the previous cypher. Hopefully they do that with this one. Gonna look sleek af with no body screws

My standard production Cypher 2 delivers tomorrow. Looking forward to it. It’ll be my first experience with the new gen Microtech internals.
Nice

400?! That’s a lot of pesos, too bad I brought the NATURAL GRAY 3.5" WHARNCLIFFE APOCALYPTIC STONEWASH version and love it 😩 great for yard work
This is a home run , best looking cypher body style (mk7) and best looking cypher blade (sheep’s foot) now I just need a katana version 😍😍😍
The New Hera 2 looks ❤
Indeed!
If it were as big as the older one then hell yeah but for now I'm stuck searching for an old makora 2
I saw one of these in the store today, it had the proof run clip on it. Maybe that clip is standard?

Have had mine for a week now and oh boy the ball clip is making my index finger fking hurt.. but i love it..
😁
With as great as this new action is, how does it compare to something we know is great like a Guardian Tactical?
Very similar action profile to.my GT's
The MSI has become my favorite knife to skin iguanas I think I’ll have to grab one of these.

Pls stop i want so bad but can only fimd the bitch ass plastic one or its not the color i want o well the struggle of someone that wont settle
You know Raj? Iguana man? That's my homie
@@Wiisher no I haven’t. He on UA-cam?
I want this knife with the Hellhound blade...!
That would be dope

@@curta7639 Thank you! Unfortinatly this ine is on loan and I have to send it back
@@edged_mindset no worries …. Cheers!😀
Got my cypher 2 coming in a couple days
Nice!
The pocket clip screw, would be nicer in Black
Im a big microtech fan, i have the utx 70, ultratech and the cypher 2, i prefer the feel of the cypher 2.
👊
Is the size similar like an Ultratech?
Yes, similar length but the handle is wider
Any Blade Play ?
Yes, the same as any other Microtech or OTF other than the Deadlock
Does this hold up to this day? Seriously considering one for $400
Unfortunately this ine was just on loan so I didn't have it long
@@edged_mindset ahhh gotcha. I went ahead and snagged one. Big void in my collection is a user OTF. Seems like the best candidate for the price
@@AKAB_22 how is it? Considering getting one
@@Wiisher not great. Sold it real quick
@@AKAB_22why?
The original was huge, it had a 4.2” blade i believe
Daaaaaaaamnnn!
It was just a little longer then a combat troodon but slimmer . I prefer that size over this
I really liked the look of the smooth body variant of the previous cypher. Hopefully they do that with this one. Gonna look sleek af with no body screws
Nah smooth body was least popular of the cyphers . Hopefully they keep this one mk7 style
@@ilikeknafs9563 what do you mean “nah” that’s the one I like. Go do you king
Does it use the same springs as ultratechs but just 2 of them?
I don't think they are the exact same, but pretry close
@@edged_mindset just curious cause I like to service my stuff.
“Top-tier knife, but it makes my thumb and index finger sore, red, and swollen, eventually forming calluses. This shouldn’t happen at all. 😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢
If their knives weren't the same price as a Sig, I'd own more of them.
I get that
The clip kills it for me. I like the og Cypher
