My Microtech HALO II

[prober996]

Although this is marked HALO, I'm pretty sure it's a HALO II, based on the manufacture date of 3/98. Are there any Microtech experts out there who can weigh in?

Not an expert but the Halo III has a tanto blade so this is a II.

Nice Dalton.
Here is a Halo III

Nice! Thanks for posting. Does anyone know what the notch at the top of the blade is for? My HALO has one also, and the Dalton has a "shadow" of one, but it's not cut out.

[fastr19]

I think it's to catch the spring.

[prober996]

Oh, that makes sense. The Dalton is slightly notched but not cut all the way through. I guess it's enough to catch the spring in Dalton's design.

The notch is for the button to catch the blade in the closed position. I would imagine that there's another at the base of the blade to hold it open.
