Wound up going with the Kershaw over the microtech. I'll be honest, price was the deciding factor for me. In a lot of the other boxes, it really is a wash. Personally I think the microtechs looks better and when i purchased had more options, but with the trigger is so much smoother on the Kershaw. Size and feel in the hand is basically the same.

Microtech is probably the epitome of OTFs but I really prefer the look of the Livewire! Thanks KC!

Just picked up the livewire dagger (double edged) on sale on BHQ for $199. Should be in my hands in less then a week. Cant wait!

I tried them out at a store down the street a few times and debated it. In the end I chose the Livewire with no regrets. I agree with all of what you said in the video.

I just got my all black Kershaw livewire today. And I love it!!!

Thanks for your insight KC.

@knivesfast thank you soo much for this post. I have a $260 credit with BHQ and I have been torn over the last few weeks about which one to get. After speaking with a rep this morning and also seeing your video, you answered every single question I had about the two. The Microtech slide is soo difficult to operate. I have the little UTX-70 and you gotta damn near use both thumbs to operate it. Awesome size and feel but Microtech is notorious for having hard to operate OTF’s no matter which model. So with all that being said. I’m going with the Kershaw. It’s made in USA and all around fits my needs better and it’s $75 cheaper but not cheaper in quality or performance. Thank You again for the great review.

That tanto profile on the ultratech is just perfect and what i would get IF inwas looking for a microtech OTF or folder

Hey KC, would love to pick up a livewire, thanks for the side-by-side comparison. just constructive criticism but, would like to see you keep everything in frame, just looks nice.

I wanted the ultratech for a long time your video help me pick between the 2 but the day after I got the microtech I bought the Kershaw

If i was in the market for an OTF, i would go for the Livewire. Appreciate the comparison

Nice review thanks. i’m leaning towards the Kershaw

Picked up the Kershaw today definitely a great knife for the price

I own both the livewire wins ,feels better in hand, and the action is so much smoother .The cost is a winner also a slamdunk.

3:39 Dang, KC… you found two knives that cut?!💥

You don't need a glass breaker until you need a glass breaker. Great comparison! Thanks for taking the time and doing this!

What do you think of the new Tanto Livewire? What one would you suggest for EDC? Spearpoint or Tanto?

Dude!!!! Where did you get all of that ren and stumpy stuff I must have it!!! Please please tell me I’m subscribed for life! Good comparison video

Recently purchased a Livewire and love it.. however my only hesitation in using it as an EDC is the LOUD deployment. It literally turns every head in the room.
