This is pretty bad ass.

Also, I just found this link on digg to everything Jack Bauer gear related.

Also,

Here is a video that shows how the Mach III retracts, that Ty said was hard to explain.

I've never used a knife like this, is there much of a possibility of accidentally popping the blade out? Does the blade pop out with much force? Perhaps if one were to temporarily put it in a pocket, then place keys in said pocket, which hooked on the mechanism, and popped the blade out, slicing into your leg?

That being said, the tactical knife looks wicked :)

Hey, this is in regards to the Smartwool socks, which I left a comment on a while ago. Anyways, I ordered a pair for myself and a friend and they're absolutely amazing. They're as perfect as you described them. My friend and I got another pair soon after, and I've ordered two more since then as well as ordered some for my parents. Thank you so so much for telling me about them and where to get them inexpensively. :) You're the best.

Hey, Now I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I'm starting to see that the products your promoting fit a very niche market. At first I thought some were cool (that light oven is badass), but a specialty popcorn maker and 300 dollar retracting knife? As cool as that is, it might be and idea to give some consumer advice on say digital cameras or mp3 players. Stuff that caters to a larger market. Just a suggestion!

that knife is sick. i was thinking about buying one a while ago, but i opted for a $700 night vision scope instead. i do some tactical work, and my $15 Smith and Wesson extreme ops knife has fared me well so far. i used to have a switchblade and i poked a hole clean through my hand, but a sick knife all the same.
Keep on rockin

strikeforce: if you were using an OTF knife and it poked a hole through your hand, you were using a poorly crafted knife. Either that, or I call BS. The vast majority (I haven't found one otherwise) of OTF knifes will not open completly if there is any obstruction. It will start to open, hit what is blocking its path, and then stop. Unless you're using a spring that has a ridiculously large amount of power, there is no way it will draw blood let alone "poke a hole clean through" your hand.

Matt: You don't need to worry about that with this knife. I haven't had it open "accidentally" in my pocket. Use the sheath it comes with, and you will never have to worry that it might happen.

I love blogs like this one. You are 100% on point. Do I detect the least bit of sarcasm in your writing (re: )? Keep up the good work, I was looking around for information about Specialty Knives when I say a link to here.

Yeah, I had an OTF knife that I accidentally activated while I was scratching my chin with it. The blade came out with such force it pinned my tounge to the roof of my mouth! All could think of on the way to the hospital was how tis situation was just like when I bit into a BLT and ha forotten to remove the toothpick. Upon removing it the doctor was so impressed by the wickedness of the knife, he told me he would comp the medical treatment if hecould use it for surgery that night. I agreed. When it came time to return it in the morning, he refused. He baracaded himself in an air duct. SWAT was called. When they went to look fo him they found he had tunneled out of the hospital with my knife! How? He extended and retracted th blade thousands of time to in effect "jack hammer" his way through the concrete! All that he left behind was rubble and his initials in a boulder a mile away from the hospital.

I had to chime in. I've got a HALO 3, an Ultratech, and a Makora. Thing is very few people know what sharp really is. We all watch cooking shows and watch as they cut with precision and wonder why or 129.00 "pro" set in the kitchen doesn't do the same. Sharp is one of the things you pay for with microtech, scarey sharp. The spring in a halo won't punch through your hand but unlike any other otf... it will send you to the hospital for stitches. The Ultratech actually penitrates more than the others from just opening it, it with go threw a cardboard box or a towel. So, there is the truth.
