Microtech MTX2 Manual Action


I was prety impressed when I purchased this particular Microtech MTX2 M/A. It's my first Microtech since I'm not realy into automatic knives. It arrived as NIB with box, pouch and papers. I'm affraid it will not stay this nice since it feels realy comfortable in my hand I'd like to EDC it next to my SMF. Anyway I just like to share my joy in a little photoshoot with you all.



The ergonomics are realy great although you would'nt say so when it's closed. By leaving out the blade choil, the index finger can be moved over the bolster towards the tip.



This is as good as it's going to get when it comes to F&F in a production knife in my believe. The Micarta inlays are a nice detail in the design.

Although this knife is probably considered a Tactical knife, I'd like to call it a Gentlemans knife with a tactical touch.
