Ok, so since about 5% of my viewers could be bothered with watching my shitty Double
Dragon review let’s get back to doing shitty knife videos. The Bounty Hunter is a limited
version of the classic Microtech tactical jewelry, the Ultratech switchblade. If you’re
not aware- it’s released every so often to keep demand high. But real reason is mostly
so assholes like myself can buy it to resell a few months later to internet chumps for
nearly $60 in sweet profit. Remember Finder Fee Knife bros are humans too. Mmm 60 bucks.
But today’s knife is the Bounty Hunter, which colorways might coincidently conjure
a character from a very popular Walt Disney movie called The Star Wars. While we have
our differences in training, I like to think I know what it means to be a Bounty Hunter.
Honing one’s mental acuity, so you can stay focused driving through space for months at
a time. Like a well lubed tactical machine. Maybe there’s no one to talk to, But you’ve
got your guns. Oh you’ve got your guns. They used to make fun of you but they don’t
any more. Lubed. Luuuubed (slower and more thoughtfully pronounced. Sorry getting into
character. You might say you’re not a bounty hunter all you do is cut up stupid cardboard.
I mean that’s not a hypothetical, viewers have said or asked what’s up with the cardboard.
I’m not sure if the subtext there is asking for more frontal nudity, video game reviews
with frontal nudity, or me just holding the knife for half an hour doing nothing with
it. Here are a few examples. Yes, spring loaded knives, with blade wobble that could easily
get gunked up with blood are for killing and self defense and slashing skin. You saw it
in movies. Then there’s this one. Yes all I do is cut cardboard. I hate cardboard, it
killed by paw. Then there’s this one. A lot to unpack here.
Answer the question: What if the dude who played Marshall Cain lived long enough to
discover the internet. He’d spend his twilight years concern trolling Youtube knife videos,
with half baked musings. Never meet your heros.
Anyway, and a few more. You get the idea, maybe you want to run your head through a
meat grinder now too. But I’m chill, I promised myself no disintegrations… … and to also
to keep Star Wars references to a minimum- after all viewers are no good to me dead.
They have to leave comments like this. You know what, I have a new idea for a chainsaw
video.
But before we go any further, even if I didn’t answer the question thoughtfully… let’s
take a look at the dimensions like the overall length and weight. Why do you think I cut
up cardboard. Blade size and cutting edge. Do I have something against wood pulp? Did
I have a bad experience in a shipping center. Handle size and grip area. Do I hear messages
hidden in the sound of my knives slicing through the box. And if so what do you think they
tell me. Spine thickness and handle thickness. Kill. Make more Youtube videos. Tallnesses,
Did my sensei once tell me I couldn’t fight my way out of a cardboard box… Hmm a lot
to think about. Maybe all this cardboard is signaling I’m of entering my blue period.
Are Youtube knife videos art? In some parts of Southern Missouri yes.
The bounty hunter, is a whole series of Microtech Knives, that are more expensive than their
already expensive knives because of different colored paint and Nostalgia. Off hand you
can get it in the smaller UTX-85, the Ultratech seen here, and the Combat Trodoon- which will
set you back nearly $700. While you could but an ok gun for that- microtech says how
about an expensive toy you can play with while watching TV, or open letters with? Or slashing
your enemies, like tactical cosplay bro suggested. Since I’m just regular bad with money and
not horrible with it I just went with the $325 Ultratech fidget toy. The blade style
rotates or changes occasionally as does the steel it’s made from. Mine features a tanto
style blade made from CTS-204p in a plain edge with an apocalyptic finish. Apocalyptic
is just tactical bro speak for a stonewashed style finish, sounds way less lame than the
mom and dad jeans currently back in style. CTS-204P is made by carpenter and is often
compared to M390 or 20CV. So if the steel is hardened and heat treated properly, that
means it holds it’s edge a good amount of time. I don’t see much use for tantos personally,
but it fits the look pretty well. If you ever wonder why I don’t feature more Tanto profiles
on the channel- and people have asked me about reviewing that dumbass Para Military 2…
well I guess your answer is in there somewhere. So I guess go crawl in your warm blanket of
“Why people who think tantos suck are wrong.” From your favorite channel that uses terms
like sheeple or NPC.
The actuation or deployment. It’s your standard out the front switch blade, with a side switch.
I don’t own a lot of microtechs, because most of the ones I really want are north of
the $325 this cost. But what that means is that all I have to go on is this single Ultratech,
and what my internet knife buddies have told me. Who are you talking to? My internet knife
buddies. The subtext to that statement is that since it’s a microtech, you’ll always
have a person telling you all the microtechs they’ve owned don’t do that- or yours
is a fake. It doesn’t have a serial number thats how you can tell. Well this batch didn’t
ok- and please tell factory authorized dealer PVK Vegas they’re selling fakes. They’re
not fakes. Just every so often the it’s a fake guy crawls from under his internet
rock. I got lmao’ed by the expert. I’m convinced a lmao guy is an entire personality.
So let’s talk about the action. Since I’ve been ruined by my $1350 deadlock, let’s
say Bounty Hunter’s switch is little stiff and rattly. There’s some blade play which
is common on all out the fronts with the exception of the precious. And recently it had been
misfiring, until I put a few drops of nano-oil in it. As in when I deployed it, occasionally
it would come off track on the way out, I’d have to flick or pull it- then it would click
in place. However it would always retract without issue. There’s a video on microtech
knives website that details maintenance with, these guns, qtips, some oil, and a can of
air and where exactly you can stick them. Personally I kind of love this knife, and
I accept it as part of my family. I can like the smoothness and refinement of the Deadlock,
but love the looks and the pugilisiciousness or the pugilicity of the actuation on the
Microtech. So much so, that I made up two new words. I’ve had this since February
and while it retracts as hard as it used to, it doesn’t seem to fire quite as hard. Although
the stiffness hasn’t changed. The slider, the switch, the dimmer- is textured so you
could use it with your operator gloves, and clicking it in and out is fatiguing, due to
the texture of the switch, the stiffness, and you not being a real man. Also think about
some cool fingerless gloves they’d really complete your look.
The handle. It’s green, and inspired by the Boba Fett. There are some grooves the
standard Ultratech doesn’t have- and of course the paint. The paint is preworn or
distressed, so when you go to sell it no one knows you’ve actually carried it. The scratches
look painted on to me, and there are no feelable grooves. Handle is comfortable and smooth,
and fits my hand well. Would make an excellent bushcraft knife. Wassup guys Alright today
is bush crafting with my switchblade. One thing that does wear easily though is the
yellow paint around the logo on the clip. I don’t really know what I’ve done to
wear it away, but it has either faded or been rubbed off since I owned it. Which is a good
Segway into the pocket clip. It’s like if This is the Way, was translated into a pocket
clip. Sorry, for those in the south “this is the way” roughly translated is IF YOU
DONT LIKE IT GET OUT. While it is a deep carry it doesn’t quite go all the way down into
your pocket. The clip is stiff and unforgiving, makes Cold Steel, in it’s sleeveless shirt
tear up a little. At least it’s smooth aluminum under the clip.
Comparisons. First the Bounty Hunter. My second favorite switchblade. Love the looks and the
feel, it’s not refined like the deadlock, but it is more pocketable. I feel like if
I had 700 laying around I’d probably like the Combat Trodoon version of the Bounty Hunter
too. That’s a hint for Christmas everyone. Now the Deadlock. This is the most expensive
knife I have, and it’s my reference out the front. It’s price means it’s for the
hardcore collector, and people who spend a ton of time on r/finance. Although if you
want to be real, the deadlock holds its value, and it even appreciates in value- so it might
be said to be a less useful but better investment than a new automobile that loses 8 deadlocks
in price as soon as you sign the papers. Yeah they banned me from r finance for that post.
Watch the Deadlock review for my thoughts. Now a cheapy. Sorta. The AKC F-16. This is
cheaply painted and the paint flakes easily, and you can hear some spring ring when it
fires. The switch is stiff, but that all adds to it’s” off the interstate used condom
on the dirty locked bathroom floor” charm. Hey they were being safe. This is about $60,
but I think the cheapest OTF would be the lighting OTF thats about $40. That was similar
in quality. I don’t have it, but I know Beyshon has taken good care of it. Now, uhhh
here’s the Benchmade Pagan, which has been discontinued. It’s not my favorite because
of the chisel grind. Similar price to the Bounty Hunter, and the switch is a bit mushier.
So let’s wrap it up. The Bounty Hunter is a swell Star Wars knife. Maybe there wasn’t
enough ESB or ROTJ refs in this video for you. That’s by design, I aim to disappoint.
It’s like life. I think I’d like a cool Combat Troodoon or maybe a Dirac one day-
but I’ll have to save up my allowance, so maybe when I’m a little older. As the cycle
goes I think these are currently sold out most places… but look around. They have
the UTX-85 at PVK Vegas. Which is a good place for Microtechs. Also there’ll be a guy in
the video new to knives who will lecture me about how switchblades are not legal in places
and I should bring that up. There’s a great app from knife rights I’ll link below that
will break down the technicalities in the law where you live. So please know those before
you buy one. Anyway, buy a t shirt if you want to look like an internet nerd, like myself.
Say Hi to the patrons. They are all awesome, and I’ll bet they watched my Double Dragon
review, which is currently sitting at 3.2k views. You know the easiest way to support
this channel is to just watch the videos right? And also comment, like, click the bell to
be alerted when I release my next shitty game review. Thanks for watching.
You’re definitely not a sheeple. Which is why you follow that guy who talks shit about
all the sheeple. And that other guy with videos that help you DE-program your mind and teaches
you to think for yourself. You’re not a useful idiot.
