Picked up a Troodon from a member last week. Now I'm going to ship off my Ultratech to Microtech for a new blade or sell as is to brother. Got it quite a while back in a trade. Blade was butchered/ sharpened/ whatever by one of its previous owners.
Earlier in the thread the mention of supersteels came up. In the Bladeforum there was a old post where an Italian guy ran a torture test with a Model16 and a Busse. They chopped cinder blocks etc. The Randall won
Model 16. I've jumped it on static line mil jumps, swam with it in fresh water and saltwater, blazed trails etc Also have a model 28 Woodsman that I now carry more often. No pics handy at the moment.
That's pretty much my plan. I've toyed with the idea of removing the black finish with my Dremel polishing gear. I understand it's a pretty tuff finish however.
My first MT. Blade was previously "sharpened aggressively" so I'm not afraid to use it. Really like it so far It's been an edc since I got it. May get another eventually.
This thread is "a little" sidetracked. . .
