Where to look for OTF
I’m looking for a Microtech OTF or something of similar quality. Where is the best place to shop for them? I find a few places that carry them but they are either out of stock or more $$ than I really want to pay. I want the blade to be a non serrated double edge dagger. What are other brands to look at that would be comparable in quality to a Microtech? Thanks for any help.

Blade ops or blade HQ has them, both are good to shop for automatic knives. Done business with both of them. Microtec knives are expensive!

American Edge and Hollow Grind are two others.
Heretic knives are comparable with Microtech and pretty similar in price. TJ, the owner of Heretic, is the son of Tony Marfione, the owner of Microtech. I would prefer to deal with TJ, a really nice guy.

Great sites, thanks for the help.
How do the Guardian Tactical knives compare in quality to the Microtech/Heretic? I know you get what you pay for and the Guardians aren’t exactly cheap but they are more affordable than the others.

Re: Where to look for OTF
If you don't want to spend a bunch of money the Lightning's are pretty decent, under 50 bucks. I have a couple I've had for years and they are still ticking like a Timex watch. A little on the heavy side but great for click therapy on the cheap. Still have an old Toumb Raider in a box somewhere. I'd like to have a high end otf but don't want to shell out the money when I could buy a nice pistol for the same price.

Re: Where to look for OTF
I have one guardian tactical and it's a very tight solid knife. They have gotten better since I bought mine 6-7 years ago. You won't be disappointed with one.

Nothing better than Microtech for the price.LGustin wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:11 am I’m looking for a Microtech OTF or something of similar quality. Where is the best place to shop for them?

There are lots of ads over there. I guess I need to sign up on that forum too. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Where to look for OTF
I recommend the Microtech UTX-85. It's the perfect size for EDC although I also like the UTX-70 which is a great little "office knife." I've thought about getting a Kershaw Livewire, but just can't justify it right now.
Re: Where to look for OTF
I have looked at both of the UTX’s. I have the full size already and will probably in time pick up the others eventually. I ordered the Guardian Tactical Recon 35, it should be here Monday. Now
I am on the look out for ram handled Damascus blade stiletto to add to my collection.

Re: Where to look for OTF
Very cool fastr19. I like all switchblades but OTF’s are next level cool. Stilettos are sexy, side slingers are freaking cool and OTF are just sick.
