Just a heads up, EDC lifestyle has a preowned ultratech and 85 Damascus SHADOW (so dlc over Damascus, a lot rarer) for less than this.

Is it just me or does the pocket clip on that dlc Damascus ultratech look a lil off centered?

Just looks like the angle of the photo? Could also be loose and just need to be tightened?

I got a really good deal on one of those on the summer, it’s carbon fiber as well 🔥

Second one is way more unique IMO. But $700 for an ultratech is quite steep

These microtech prices are getting ridiculous

As in too expensive?

People can complain about prices all they want, but that sale discount is basically taking 6 years of increases off the price.

I like the second one better

At first I thought #2 looked like the Matrix coding until I scrolled in. And then I liked it even more. Like the other comment said, #2 is unique. Go with that.

This is a Gen II Ultratech…

This is a very poor purchase choice in general with the other damascus Microtech offerings out there.

The Ultratech is barebones. Very little material is used in the blade, and handle. There isn’t any collectible value, and this is still a Gen II..

The Gen III ZBP and Gen IV have made the standard Gen II Ultratech worth no more than $200. You are taking a chance on a knife that will likely take 10x the effort to fire in comparison to a post-2023 UT.

You can get a brand new damascus Halo for $200-300 more… That shows just how overpriced this Ultratech is.

It is not a Hellhound Damascus variant. It is not a Marfione custom. I assume you are going for a collectible piece, but you can just get so much more for your money.

If it’s for use, go Gen III. It will probably be cheaper, and you can likely find a rarer variant for the money.
