Microtech knock offs manufactured in China. 440C blade steel and zink alloy handles always scream made in China. From what I read they do QC them and adjust the knives that don’t work well or don’t have good fit and finish. Does your knife have anything that says it’s actually made in the US? I have a good friend in Chandler that says they hit all the gun shows and have some really over the top marketing.

I doubt any of it is made in the US, they were up front about the 440 SS and the fact that it was made in China. The fit and finish are nice on the one I received. O paid the sale price I would not have spent the money at the full price. I wanted an auto knife that I could abuse and not worry about it, cutting cardboard etc. I carry a Spyderco Embassy in my other pocket that I do not use for everyday stuff.

Stumbled on to a much less expensive way to go today at the Quartzsite AZ gun show. Blackphantomtatical.com has the exact same knife for a lot less, My sale price was only 20 more but Black tactical sales prices should be a lot less expensive. Exact same knife I held them side by side.
