    Great Knife, Better...

    I have ordered several knives from EKnives and have never been disappointed. There is a real charm from buying from a family operation that cares about their customers. Will for sure be buying again! Oh, and yes I love my Scarab 2!

    This new Scarab II Gen III fires so hard and clean, it’s amazing! Nice grip on handle, really gives you some confidence in your grip. The blade is razor sharp as you would expect from Microtech. EKnives customer service and support is top notch. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    powerhouse!

    Posted by Brent Jordan on Nov 8th 2024

    this is the beefiest, hardest firing OTF I own! Really sturdy and well built, with smooth and powerful action. Wish they would have used the newer pocket clip and glass breaker design, but still an awesome looking knife! Also completely satisfied working with Clay and Coco. Top notch customer service and rapid delivery!

    Awesome knife I own 3 versions of them 2002...

    Posted by TJ Howe CLU, ChFC on May 24th 2024

    I work in around water quite often and I am here to tell you that this knife is hands-down the toughest best made OTF for underwater use in the world. I believe they were originally designed for the navy seals to use and boy is it ever an awesome knife tough as nails you can put it through hell and back in it will do the job I recommend everyone in America should have one of these knives or maybe even two in my case I have three an original one made in 2002 with a dagger point, and I just recently purchased the drop points, single edge, plane blade, and a Drop point black blade partially serrated edge so I have three different versions of this knife and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Everyone should get one of these now. !!

    Posted by Jonah Hogue on May 23rd 2024

    Always super fast shipping, handwritten note, and candy. The Microtech is a great knife, but EKnives is the real deal.

    New gen 3...

    Posted by Eric Linden on May 8th 2024

    The action on this new gen is nothing short of amazing. I truly think this is the best OTF I have in my collection. It is pricey but worth it, I’m my opinion. 5 stars all day. Plus you should purchase from EKinves they are the best, never had a bad experience, super fast shipping.
