Getting into knives with a microtech is like getting a handmade pair of White's/Nick's for your first boots. You're not gonna wanna go anywhere else!
And it being magnacut!! Cmon... I'm moving to a state that doesn't allow autos and had to sell so many knives. I miss my Ultratech.
@@eltrainlane bans owning the knives?! I know some backwards places ban carrying, but owning seems unconstitutional. (So does carrying, honestly) my condolences.
Shout out to NC!
strong disagreement there
Exactly why I don’t own one! 🤣😂🇺🇸👊🏼👌🏽✌️🤣🧂🧂
Brogue is not purely decorative. It was originally designed to help leather stretch and shrink (when it becomes wet and dries) without cracking. I learned this from watching a video about Trickers. You should do a video about Trickers. It's insane that you haven't covered them yet.
Iron Boots isn't for me in terms of their patterns, but their quality and craftsmanship cannot be ignored. Much respect to them for their well-earned success.
All chinese made boots suffered one problem: Excellent Craftmanship with fair but no good enough leather quality.
American subscriber from HK here. The city of Guangzhou is pronounced roughly "gwah-ng-JOE", formerly referred to as "Canton" in European/Western texts. "Cheng" is the given name of the fellow who either made the boots or sent them to you and invites comments. Their small company staffed by enthusiast boot-makers is known for using best imported leathers, soles and hardware, and particularly for painstakingly measuring their clients' feet for initial sizing and in the first stages of construction - much like a bespoke suit. They'd be the ultimate purchase for a visiting boot enthusiast. I'm looking forward to your deconstruction of a pair.
I love that everyone is the comment section is talking about the knife. Nobody cares about the boots, lol.
Many knife guys watches weston
People care about American brands
@@JJ-zr6fu I don't think that is what's driving the comments, it's just there are a lot of knife collectors out there. Also boots and knives have a lot of cross-over for people looking for "guy stuff".
I'm definitely not interested in mainland China "craftsmanship" lul
Coz these boots are a joke for the price!
I’ve been looking at Iron Boots for a while and I’ve noticed they are up there with the really well made boots of Asia. Specifically makers in Taiwan, China, and especially Japan. I will also mention boot makers like Iron Boots tend to base their boots on vintage older styles of boots from early to mid 1900s. Also the Dr. Sole soles may not be as functional as lugged soles but again they are meant to replicate the outsoles of the past. All in all a very neat boot.
I've had my Microtech for a quarter of a century..DON'T LOOSE IT!..😊
鐵 means IRON and 履 is a very old terms meaning SHOES, which hardly anyone uses nowadays.
带“履”字的成语还是经常用的，“如履平地”、“步履维艰”。还有坦克和工程机械的“履带”等…
Thank you
i've come across some of their pictures on ig and they looked really good. seemed super random so really glad you're doing a video on something like these!
It's called a quarter brogue when it's just the edge of the toe cap brogued like your new boots are. A semi brogue has more brogue detail & then a full brogue is a wingtip. There you go wes. A crash course in Brogues.
I am very jealous of that microtech. Just ordered my first pair of nicks from watching your channel. Thanks for the content
That's the best boots i have seen.
I love this last and style !
Yeah... a double edged otf is not something you hand someone who doesn't have experience with otf knives... those boots are really nice! I'd wear em!
It would be so cool to see more knife stuff! 🔪 Awesome unboxing!
oh my! Excited!
Sweet boots! Excellent work by Kai and his team! Off too the iron boot IG and web page
Microtech is a high class pocket knife. Best of the best
That is a crazy sharp looking boot.
I have the same Microtech. My wife describes it as a fidget spinner for "adults" (yes she even does the quotes) owing to my persistent playing with it. When used the action does smooth out a bit.
I love Iron Boots and would like a pair one day. One thing that's cool about them is they really use a lot of Seidel leathers which I've come to appreciate more having a pair of Red Wings.
Blade HQ used to be just down the street from me in Lehi. Awesome guys and products. Highly recommend the al mar stringer. It's a fixed blade EDC that's $12.
8:54 I think you could definently do a series on dress shoes. There are lots of makers that specialize in unique lasts and patterns which would be really cool to see compared.
Cheap Chinese goods exist because the company getting the stuff made wants it to be crap.
Cool, Utah doesn't limit the type of knife. Georgia doesn't either. No restrictions on any blades up to 12 inches. I've had my AKC F-16 automatic from BladeHQ for years. It's my fidget tool.
My dress boots are black African Rangers.
Chinese made products are crap because when OEMs go to China for their sourcing, their business model is "how low can you go" and lined their CEO's pocket without any money left on the table for the manufacturer. When there is decent money allowing some profits you get the quality stuff.
Can't wait until mine arrive, ordered after watching the video 😄
Those soles are absolutely super functional.🤘
I also got confused when he said that. Especially when the Dr. Soles Supersoles have a clear ancestor in the now bought out and discontinued cat's paw rubber soles.
Blade HQ is great! Those guys are awesome
The boxes knives come in look great
Microtech OTF knife is definitely a good start to a knife collection!
The thing about "bad chinese manufacturing" is that EVERY country that has become a manufacturing economy goes through 1-2 generations of the factory goods being bad, then hardware, wages, education and technical skill steadily improves and wages go up, which encourages better work, etc... until the manufacturing base has matured. 10 years ago practically no one would believe that soon several Chinese knife manufacturers would have high end offerings rivaling any US made knife, and for less than half the price.
Didn’t know it until I watched this video. I now need a Microtech!! 🔪
Nice!
4:22 The Microtech Ultratech is my favorite carry knife. You're going to LOVE it. Wait till you geek out on knife steels and find out what it's made from! Crucible supersteel ain't your pappy's buck knife. 😅
True story..🗡🔥
Just received my RA kilties yesterday. Thank you Mr. Rose! lol 😆
Lol starting a knife hobby with a Microtech is like starting a watch collection with a Rolex Daytona.
Honestly I wanna see rose anvil tackle more Salomon’s cause I know a lot of former military and SF that wear these exclusively especially the Salomon XA forces mid and they’re quite good
14:26 you might have fun doing a review of some of the "sock technology" out there now. 😅 Not even joking, socks are a whole thing.
That would be great!
Sick bayside shirt! 🤘
Crazy thing is this is all being hand stitched. The finishing is so nice I would be afraid to wear it lol
Those NDC's are looking great all broken in.
The toe box looks nice and roomy!
China has a lot of reputation repair to do but also no doubt these are high quality
Do not get into knives or watches! If you thought the boot world is bad these are next level rabbit hole interests. And starting off with a Microtech OTF is a bad start. They are one of the best in the game.
Microtech is literally the top of the top in the knife world lol
Would be cool to see whats in the McKinlay boots from NZ
Mircotech and Renate are on my buy list bu I'm in CA.
I used to work at Blade HQ. It was fun. Some people would request that we draw things on the shipping envelopes. I drew Pikachu holding the same knife as in the package.
any chance we can get videos on dress shoes or loafers?
Love it; make money cutting up the cheap stuff to buy the good stuff.
Hey there, those are some cool looking boots ! What the model name? Can you provide a link to this item on their website? Many thanks 🙏🏻
congrats on the knife man! might be about as expensive as the boots youre opening!
Starts out his knife journey with a microtech. Nobody tell him about Chris Reeve, knowing his taste in boots he’d for sure carry a Sebenza.
It won’t be long before we can own them in CA!
I like the design/style of boot although I would go with a different finish. I'm not a big fan of suede or rough out leather.
I love bladeHQ
I would have bought the SMUGS if they didn’t have that brown sole. An all black model would be nice.
Don't you DARE touch your NDCs with steel wool young man! They look awesome, showing off the beautiful leather without losing their sense of toughness! :)
P.S: great video and iron boots seem to know their business.
Those are good looking boots, but I would end up welding in them in the garage 😂
Keep them shiny
Given that they only have six employees, I would guess that Cheng is the guy who made them
I'm in Northamptonshire borders, England, seriously if anyone thinks Chinese boots can compare to the likes of Crockett and Jones and Trickers at this price point they are living in Dreamland.
I came to talk about the microtech but everyone else already did 😂
Maybe they have a Shek model
Now this is an unboxing I wanted to see!
These are insanely nice for a Chinese product. These are insanely nice, but u could wear them as everyday boots and they dont look like dress boots too much. I could wear those beauties every day.
6:41 okay how do i get them to send me one?
No slice and dice??
sup w that hc band hat who is that?
Those blades are great but cant have em in the land of the free in many places. Boots definitely have an eastern look and are waaay too nice for me lol
do the balenciaga steroid boot next please
i feel like those are laced too tight, once broken in i feel like you foot would start to shift around, and you cant get any tighter from the looks of it.
Acme shoes out of china is way ahead of most of the northampton brands and is lapping american brands like alden and allen edmonds. They are basically the standard at this point.
being this early feels ilegal.
If u start getting into knives, u’ll never turn back😅
It feels like this video was made under duress lol.
its an every day boot
The waist on those boots are fantastic,apart from the SPI and the fabulous construction. You can tell the attention to detail by the waist of the boots. PNW boots are callously made crap compared to these iron boots and it shows
Feline Guardians
Brogue is pronounced like broke. It is the perforated edge on shoes for design purposes. Not a fan of it myself, however I love wingtips.
Videotape yourself destroying perfectly good boots and other folks will just give you free knives.
What a wonderful world.
Ps. The symphony? That's what you need dress boots for? The symphony?!? We have really different lives, you and I. 😂
incase half a boot in resin and sell it or put it up for auction for charity 😉 😉
these're like 3 time better than Alden
Every boot is hand made in China. What you get is the fin est quality.
Look nice but I'll support my PNW and Viberg brands.
Why you don’t review Frye?
Because the boot world knows they’re crap
The amount of sinophobia in this comments section is disgusting. I would have expected better from a community so focused on quality and excellence, I'd expect appreciation regardless of origin but I'm seeing whiny racists instead.
So should I get the Chinese leather wallets camera harness and strap? You know because it’s cheaper and equal in quality to rose anvil products.
"I thought these were illegal" Wait till you see all the other freedoms protected by our constitution!
OH HELL NAH
Dear god. Americans. Two characters. How about Iron and boots. Or a variation thereof.
Microtech ludt or socom is not to be slept on
Hey Wes, check Willie's Handmade Boots from the Philippines. He makes really good boots for USD 300+.
I would consider that but I have a foot problem I recently found. I was having arch issues owing to a rather high arch I found and I’ve began to use orthotics to help with the pain issues. For that reason a PNW style or other flat boot causes me really bad pain that literally runs up my main foot nerve
Whereabouts in the Philies?
IMO the argument for not buyng chinese is the same as not buying Iranian og North Korean clothing... they pay taxes to brutal dictatorships. And the argument that just because we all buy it its hypocritical to call out, i dont agree with because the availibilty and price is out of individuals control. I would buy everything ethical if i could, its a shame that only the rich have the privilige to buy ethical.
Are you high
That is a nice knife. Jealous. It’s pronounced Bro gs. In classic menswear brogues make a shoe less formal.
I disagree about the packaging. I think that the more that goes into the quality of the packaging, the less quality goes into the boot.
The box looks premium and I expect if I order a premium pair of boots, they come in a handsome box. That tells me the care taken not only in making them but in their presentation to the customer. First impressions count.
You do you…it is your channel, but:
I clicked on this video, interested in seeing those boots and your opinion, but at minute 8 there’s still nothing regarding the product to be seen.
Just a constant ad for knives.
Simply declare it a paid knife advertisement including a look at shoes.
Best wishes nonetheless
You keep calling them dress boots but they're not "dressy" at all imo. Like you couldn't wear them with a suit or a pair of slacks at all. At best they're business casual and you could wear them with a pair of khakis or something like that. They remind me alot of an Iron Ranger or maybe Thursday's Captain, which again is not a "dress boot" per se. It's a casual looking boot you'd wear with jeans or khakis. If you wore these with a pair of nice slacks or a suit you'd look like a clown.
Like the video and all...But NONE of the boots are "masculine" 🤷♂️
