I've got a Microtech as well, and it's super well made, but as you can see from the vid, I have xxl hands and when stabbing into cardboard, my hand slips forward. I needed something with a substantial handle and the Boker fits the bill. So far with a buttload of daily use, it's never failed.....Yet. I think I got it for 80 bucks IIRC in D2 steel. The MT cost me around 250.
