Microtech OTF

[Ahuey]

I must say there is just something about handling one of these knives. A friend showed me one and I was amazed to say the least.

They're illegal in Indiana...

Microtech makes probably the best OTF, very nice indeed!

You're such a party-pooper

Unless it happens to be a law that they don't agree with.

My advice: Obey. the. law.

don't like the law (as most of us don't) then work to get it changed.

+1 and besides as much as I would like to have one of these their are other things I can have now that I couldn't if I got caught with one of these.

I met Tony Marfione down at the Shot Show in 2008? Mebbe 2009.

It was the first year he was attempting to sell his Steyr knockoff.

I have never been so quick to not like a person as I did with Tony. Might be visceral.

Anyway, from that day forward, I've never had anything to do with Microtech. But, I will say their knives are world class. The OTF can have reliability issues though.

All OTF designs can have relibility issues, not just Microtech. The nature of the design leads to this. In the knife world, Microtech is still consider the "King" of production OTF knives.

What part of "world class" did you miss?

 

[Bradsknives]

I never missed your "world class" statement, but you turned around and stated that OTF knives are not always relaible, and I agree with you on this, but I wanted people to know that it is the nature of the design and not Microtech for that reason. I really think we are on the same page, but I don't appreciate your smart ass comment.

You are the one who included the "rolleyes" sarcasm.

I'm not looking for an argument, but Tony Marfione is a very disagreeable individual...and I'm not alone in that assessment. I know a couple of his companies went bankrupt a while back.

I'm not sure what the point of bashing Mr. Marfione is, it really has nothing to do with the intended discussion of OTF knives, so I won't weigh in on it. However, I will say one thing, Mr. Marfione owns three different companies, MSAR (Microtech Small Arms Research), Microtech Knives, and Marfione Custom Knives. Only one of his companies has filed for bankruptcy (MSAR) and it was a chapter 11 type bankruptcy for reorganization/restructuring purposes. MSAR is still alive and well today.

I guess the point, Brad, is that when you tick off a customer....he never forgets. And while a good customer might not mention his excellent service, a ticked off customer will go out of his way to mention it every chance he gets.

Fair enough...and I agree.
