Sidearms & Scatterguns Microtech question

[ubet]

Was wondering is this knife an assited opening, or completely manual? http://www.bladehq.com/item--Microtech-Select-Fire-Knife-Manual--9840

I am guessing its not, but it says select fire?

Thanks

Re: Microtech question

Ubet it is both, my understanding is it can be locked to carry in non auto mode. It is a dual operational knife, auto and assisted opening.

Re: Microtech question

The one you linked to is MANUAL.

THIS one is "Dual Action":

Microtech knives are badass. I own several, and they never cease to put a smile on my face.

Be warned however they put a wicked edge on them. That combined with the hardness of the steel causes them to chip easily. I carried a Mini-SOCOM for some time as a EDC blade. The edge was constantly getting chipped from little tasks like pulling staples from targets.

I have a fullsize SOCOM and a HALO III that remain like new in the case. I just fondle them and leave the field duties to my Benchmade.
