This is the latest microtech clone that is out there.It is just like the lighting but has A spear blade insteadIt is A automatic both ways in and out.It comes with A belt clip.It is only $30.00 and that includes free shipping in the usa.
I will not ship any weapons or any other items to any location where they are prohibited by local law.Seller assumes no responsiblity for the use or misuse of this item by the buyer.by bidding the buyer states the they are over 18 years andthey are falimer with there local laws concerning the use and possession of this item if any.
I've carried a Lightning everyday for about a year now with excellent service. I just disassembled it, lubed it with graphite, painted it with polyurethane paint and put it back into my pocket (after the paint dried), for anothe year or so - I hope. With both the Lightning and the new Microtech clone on my desk right now, I'm sorry to say, I'm afraid you might be a little disapointed with your's when it arrives. In my opinion the Lightning is much better quality. Please let us know what you think when you get it. JB
I'm not tryin to kid anybody. I also don't remember mentioning anything about any failure rate jerrbear. I'm not a fan of any orient knife. I need a letter opener, one that flicks.
Heres the lightning. and a close up of the weld I put on the clip support screw because w/out the clip the threading isn't machined down far enough. It would be loose and not activate. It does not activate unless you weld it. or choose a different means of supporting the screw.

I sold the Chinese ones all last fall [at the flea] and not ONE came back
Mr. Vagrant,
Are you sure what you sold were the ones pictured by Mr. Ginrickie1 and not the one pictured by Mr. Jeff_75? I've never seen the former offered before... Why are they just popping up NOW?
Sorry jerrbear. That wasn't to me. I just got the OTF to own a knife that won't lose value if I sharpen the blade and use for practical purposes. Like the Hubies and Mikovs that I'll probably never actually use for anything because I'll want them to remain valuable.
I thought that one looked the same as the one I just ordered.

With so much about the various ones, who knows ["Lightnings " were mentioned the most often in this thread and what I was refering to] but same basic "platform".
I sold both the Chinese "Lightnings" and the ones from Taiwan so I'm assuming that the same quality difference holds true for all variatons of the same, basic design
I know the Chinese Lightnings were roundly trashed but I never had a problem, with either and lots of requests for MORE
I'll bet the Chinese/Taiwanese quality difference will remain the same, even if they make [and clone] an OTF swinguard
