Sorry wolfgang but I am with bill here. I bought a 2011 ultratech and within two weeks of owning it two if the screws fell out. On top of that the screws are a priority bit and you can only source screws from microtech. If I waited to get new screws it would have taken two months without and gurentee of them falling out again or not. I also had a friend buy an ludt, and within two months it was extremely loose when locked up and had gotten very dull from extremely light use. I personally handled this knife many times and was amazed at the poor build quality compared to my early 2000's microtechs.

IMHO new microtech are poorly made with lower quality tempering of the steel they are using. It is really dissapointing to me as there were my favorite knife maker.
