Founder of Microtech Knives, Anthony Marfione, teamed up with his son Sean to custom design this piece. I have never been a fan of OTF knives, but when I saw this one, I had to get it. The DLC coating makes it impossible to scratch and there is a pocket clip on the back, so this knife is my EDC. The action takes quite a bit of force to deploy, but when it does, it is extremely strong. It feels like it would slice right through anything blocking it.
