Just put down a deposit on a Hawk Deadlock. Marbled carbon fiber, double edge, tumbled titanium. Should be ready in a couple months.

Awesome handmade autos.

I suppose here's as good a place as any to ask.
Anyone know where I can find a replacement spring for a 2012 vintage Microtech Makora 2? This thing has a garage door spring in it and damn near takes two hands to fire. Never has "broken in" and I think the overpowered spring is the cause of the knife misfiring relatively often. I think they had a rolling product improvement with a lighter spring somewhere down the line.
You can usually find Microtech rebuild kits on eBay.
Or just send it back to Microtech for service.
Microtech is a lot like H&K in that their reputation for shitty customer service is way overblown.

Any opinions on Heretic? particularly this model?

I'm very intrigued by the listed overall thickness of 0.33" but I find it a bit suspect...
Another option claiming only .32" thickness?

Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
I don't have any hands-on experience with Heretic OTFs. It looks like they are a good alternative to Microtech. The blades of the Model S and UTX-70 are a little thin (0.09 and 0.08") for my taste. These are small knives. I find that my UTX-85 is already very small and easy to carry. Do you need to keep the blade below 3"
I do believe the specs. The Ultratech is 0.47” thick, and 70% of that is 0.33”, close to what you saw for the UTX70

Small is the key for me. I’m looking for something interesting to carry IWB in dress pants.
I just wish I could finger bang a couple of these before buying. Don’t want to wind up TOO small. I’m also considering some side-owners but that’s for a different thread...

Got it. When I get a chance, I’ll post a side view similar to post #2 in this thread. I suppose one could remove the pocket clip if that wasn’t needed.

This thread was a BAD influence on me - I may have just pre-ordered one of these:
And yes, I know it's super geeky to get the Mandalorian-themed one; I do not care, it's awesome.
