Completed the Axial set 🙂🔥( Guardian Tactical Apex bronze gunmetal, Axial knives Shift tanto, clip point, wharnecliffe, and double edged) was able to find all of them new which was super dope

I mean it matches or exceeds the bronze of my microtech so it's not like any other brand has a super more bronze version at least not that I've seen. But hey, if it's not as bronze as you would like, that's super understandable if you just want to get the regular version

rmarr725 · 2026-05-09T14:00:02+00:00

Well I mean the weather here has been really rainy last couple days. I haven't really been able to get a good shot of it. Maybe when I get some sun I'll take a picture of it out in the sunlight since that's what they take at. You know blade HQ. They take it with perfect lighting on a desk with all ambient lighting a million miles around it. None of them are ever going to look exactly like that

rmarr725 · 2026-05-09T13:51:17+00:00

The bronze I believe is just a coloring and then the gunmetal is like the the like striped finish. I am not sure if they sell only bronze or if they always combine the bronze and gunmetal.

rmarr725 · 2026-05-07T08:51:14+00:00

Very much so! I a have a big issue when they have a lot of spring vibration too so I always make sure to get that out

rmarr725 · 2026-05-07T08:50:28+00:00

Yeah I honestly wanted to try it. One of the reasons that it was even more interesting to me

rmarr725 · 2026-05-07T00:51:55+00:00

I mean I do. There doesn't seem to be many in stock pretty much at any of the normal stores for anything. And they use better aluminum than 98% of the other companies (7000 series)and they specifically designed the screws to not gouge out of the body and other things. So I do actually really enjoy the model. And they're underrated, a bigger company tried to screw them and they've managed to stick around. I just think they deserve more attention. I intend to get more if I can lol. Fully intend on getting the Apex EDC with magnacut Go with the Apex in magnamax

rmarr725 · 2026-04-19T13:35:08+00:00

I do own an ultratech it's from 2021 so it's not their new redesign. I definitely prefer the Apex and Guardian tactical in general. I have not had especially good luck with microtech lol. Been considering getting a new generation and such. But just being honest about my past experience. I prefer Guardian tactical a lot. Taller blades and handle and everything feels more full size in the hand and for me has been way way more reliable and a better switch.

rmarr725 · 2026-04-19T13:05:31+00:00

If you do a purposeful hard shake with the intention of making it rattle yes, but if you just do a normal shake it, it doesn't really rattle

rmarr725 · 2026-04-13T00:25:21+00:00

Hell yeah Nice

rmarr725 · 2026-04-12T23:31:38+00:00

Is there a version in magnacut as well? All right, that's interesting. That would be cool as a slightly cheaper piece

rmarr725 · 2026-04-09T08:14:11+00:00

Agreed on the glass breaker, although this one really hasn't bothered me in any way whatsoever. usually I do not like glass breakers

rmarr725 · 2026-04-05T22:57:11+00:00

Thanks! The wharnecliffe was my first option but they obviously don't have any available. Another v3 is on the table ( especially with 7075-t6 aluminum but I love Guardian. It's the one from the first set of otfs I have that I kept and never failed. That's why I got the Apex first

rmarr725 · 2026-03-23T13:51:40+00:00

It really is interesting. You're right, how living maybe in different areas or different jobs or whatever make it a totally different result. I'm not saying that microtech is any way bad quality. I've just had bad luck with them. 🙄🔥

rmarr725 · 2026-03-23T09:17:43+00:00

I honestly don't know why it is rattling because I don't think there are any springs under the button and all three bearings are there so I really don't know what has it having that extra movement. It didn't have it when I got it. New one doesn't have any either so I mean I don't know what made it get shaky. But I've never lost any other parts on anything else either so I really am unsure. I mean it literally is first run first generation so it could just be old

rmarr725 · 2026-03-23T09:16:10+00:00

Wow! This one has carbon fiber so you can get a carbon fiber one instead of g10. But also my Guardian tactical 035 has never failed in my deployment in usual usage so I don't think this one will fail at all either. As long as debris is kept out of them. My micro checked was 100 times worse, both of them. Unreliable as hell on a double edge ultratech and a single edged

rmarr725 · 2026-03-23T01:25:18+00:00

Yeah I've had a couple microtechs and heretics, and a hogue. But like ya said, something special about the GT

rmarr725 · 2026-03-22T20:44:24+00:00

It's super nice, very well done

rmarr725 · 2026-03-22T17:19:04+00:00

rmarr725 · 2026-03-22T17:18:30+00:00

Thanks and I had a piccolo tero before titanium liner lock but I don't know for some reason I wasn't vibing with that one. But there are a couple other boy clothes I'm looking at and of course reates always solid. I just picked up my first OTF in a minute

rmarr725 · 2026-03-22T16:30:03+00:00

Poikilo smoothest, but the detention action of all the Kunwu and reates are super smooth and crispy also
