If i'm not carrying my Para 3, I usually have my Benchmade Barrage, or my Cold Steel Code 4.
Always interested in learning.

Woke up this morning feeling dangerous..

Ha, no at least half of these were passed on to me from my father who was a serious user/collector but I have gotten back into it pretty strongly recently.

I really wanted the Spartan Harsey Plague Doctor... but alas none around. Hopefully they will come out with more this summer...
Anyhow, I wanted a Spartan and the Astor caught my eye. Obsessed with this one. I decided to try it and haven't stopped using/carrying it since.
Big CTS XHP blade and yet only 3mm thick. Pretty sharp out of the box, but even 15 dps bevels, so a few strokes on the Sharpmaker and it is shaaaarp. Solid handle. Tight lock-up. Good deep carry clip. What is not to like?

Thanks, these Microtechs are great. I like the Guardian Tactical’s even better. So much smoother.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
How the reliability on the Guardian Tactical OTFs? Is there a warranty as good as Microtech?

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
As far as reliability, I have two with zero issues at all, they have been excellent. Not sure on the warranty. Haven’t had to use it. I have sent in two Microtechs with issues that were corrected for free with no hassle at all, super easy.
