What's your budget?

 

[shootersix]

first thing is to see how much you want to spend

under 100
lightning-junky chinese copy of microtec(around 50 bucks)
schrade- single action(you have to cock it when you close it) soft steel(dulls easy) around 50 bucks

under 200
h&k- good quality, american made(benchmade) double action single edge only around 175.00
paragon- american made single action start around 175, im not sure of the quality

over 200
microtech starts a little over 200(ultratec line) and up to 700(scarab) great quality(not including the customs that are over 1000)
benchmade starts at 350 and great quality

if i were you, i'd contact brad and see what gunshow hes going to be at near you, and look at what he sells, plus im sure he'll be along here anyting to help you out!

good luck, and remember buy once, cry once!

Probably one of the H&K models...made by Benchmade. I have no idea if they retail in that price range or not, I'm just going by what shootersix says!

Spend a little more than $200 and get a Microtech from Brad.

Trust me on this the Microtech Ultratech is worth the extra $40 to get. Top of the line materials and warranty 100% made in the USA and IMHO Microtech is the best OTF's money can buy end of story. Its like I have 8 or 9 laying around..........

Depends on the Microtech. I've purchased several UTX-70s from Brad under $200.

I was just assuming he wouldn't want the baby.

Buuuurrrrrnnn

But agreed, go with the Microtech.

Protech makes a good switchblade, not sure how their OTFs are though

I didn't mean it as a burn just that I've read where people were really surprised by the little guys.

Great. Until this thread, I didn't even realize that I needed a Microtech OTF. Admit it -- rhino put you up to this, didn't he?

Just go ahead and cave in do it, you know you want to

For your viewing pleasure and further tempting just to prove to Rhino that I temp everyone equally with nice knives lol.

I love my Benchmade Infidel. The handle is big, fits my hand well. I also prefer the button on the fat side. It just feels more natural to me than a Microtech. It can do any cutting task (it's a knife) and I use mine a lot. If you ever need it for it's intended use as a weapon, I like the grip of the Infidel as it puts the blade horizontal, so it will slip through a rib cage easily. However, the only thing I ever killed with it was a deer. I hit her with my truck and crushed her pelvis, wasn't carrying at the time and had to put her down. It's my only OTF, but I love the one handed (even with gloves on) use.

That scarab is hot.

If only I'd thought of it . . .

That was a gratuitous Drive-By Crailing!

Au contraire, mon frère. Le rhinocéros n'a pas de couteaux automatiques. En outre, le Crail est bien mal.
