Microtech Ultratech vs TRM Neutron 2

“PM2 will trounce anything from BM imo (I’ve had both). It’s a really good do anything knife and you could build a super nice one for that price. If you look at the second hand market it really opens the options up too. I’ve seen Sebenzas go for under $350 for ex. Full titanium TRM atom or neutron 2 are some other good options.”

“If things escalated *past* the firearm and into knife territory things are so fucked that it literally doesn’t matter what it is, long as it’s sharp and pokey. I would say that’s probably a situation where you don’t want a folding knife because shit is going down fast. You didn’t give a budget but if you’re looking solely at a defensive scenario I would either go fixed blade or Microtech OTF. The Cypher II is excellent, and there’s the classic Combat Troodon. But the Leek is a fine knife. The Damascus is just for looks, I’d stick to a real steel for maintenance reasons. I don’t know what their composition is but Kershaw uses some good steel like 154cm or even Magnacut.”
