The Halo requires a sheath for safety purposes. Therefore, you may as well carry a sheath knife. The UT/6 variants will not open in a pocket-therefore are more practical. In my opinion, the Halo is a very ugly attempt at a front opener. This is only my opinion. If you want to carry your Halo in your pocket, that is fine with me-but I feel that doing so is patently unsafe and cannot in good faith advise it.

B.T.W.- your avatar says volumes about your personality. The Mac 10 is a crude, innacurate weapon, at best. All they are good for is spraying bullets at a high rate of fire.
I think the Halos look like glorified craft knives,and on looks alone the Ultratech wins hands down.A good quality dual action is also more preferable in my opinion! Cheers the spotlight kid.

Seasons Greetings back at 'cha Tessa3 ! I 'm only interested in "old style" Italian knives , however I hear my "local" knife nut friends always talkin" about "microtech" alot , ( don't know why tho ) Maybe it's a good knife ? Happy holidays all Straydog
I used to own a Halo 3 and I still own an UltraTech.
The Halo was cool but the sheath and having to cock it was a pita. It looked wonky and out of proportion in my opinion.
The UltraTech is a good carry knife w/ the clip but it's prone to ingesting copious amounts of pocket-fuzz which eventually will preclude it's proper operation. A liberal douching with Gum-Out (or other) spray carb cleaner cleared the problem.
My Makora may develope the same symptoms in the future but the boys in Florida say they've installed a heavier firing/retract spring so maybe the blade won't glog up. The damn skate tape is sure rough on my pansy-ass pinkies and maybe I'll trade it off of an executive model w/o the rough surface.
When I was a lad not so long ago. If I were to have a dispute with another school mate, the Priest that ran our little Parish School would inform myself and my peer that we had a detention. Meet him in the gym after school. In this case Mr DeShivs and Mr Stone would meet there only to find a few gym mats already on the floor and two sets of boxing gloves. Father would say settle it and then it's over. After one hell of a crappy boxing match that usually lasted less then thirty seconds, both young gents would shake hands and forget about what started the feud in the first place. I'd like to see a school adminstrater try this today.
No expeience with the Halo [but the appearence underwhelms me]. My UT-6 has been used a lot and abused even more. It has "misfired" exactly once [after spending weeks rattling around in a tool box]. My Kestral even survived being pushed accross a parking lot by a snowplow. My Mini UDT [Damascus] gets used heavily with no problems. No need for a lack of the seasons spirits to say that. I will say the need to use two hands to close a knife is more annoying than using two to open it [and neither is acceptable].
Mr. Stone Knife;
How is a windbag different than a gasbag? This is a matter of some import to me as I am not sure they differ significantly. You see, I have gone to great lengths (OK, its mostly natural endowment as opposed to exertion) to earn the moniker of resident old gasbag. To have you come along and abruptly dismiss me, and then appoint Mr. DeShivs is more than a little disheartening. I urge you to rethink your actions. I fail so see how he has earned such homage. However, a quick review of my posts will supply more than enough evidence of my deserving nature.
Happy holidays all
