Lightning Black D/A OTF Automatic Knife (3.25" Satin Tanto)

There are a ton of sites offering this knife. Perry Knife Works went from online order to in my hands (halfway across the USA) in just about three days. Amazing customer service, in my opinion. Five stars for Perry Knife Works! The Lightning I'm currently holding appears to be the Taiwan-made version. The weight is there, the silver trigger is there, the "Cutting Edge" on the clip is there ... this feels like the real thing. I will be doing further business with PKW and will recommend them to my friends. It's heavier than I expected. The spring noise on retraction is noticeable. The blade is very substantial (thicker than my Benchmade or Kershaw folders), and although the steel is nothing to write home about, the edge is sufficient. This thing is a BEAST. Although I'd intended this as an EDC knife, it may be too big for the job. Guess I'll just have to order a UTX-85 from PKW for my next OTF! Well done, Perry Knife Works, and thank you!

So far... haven't had an issue yet. Seems pretty well built. Reccomended. And Perry Knife Works was excellent, super fast shipping.

First of all I’d like to thank Perry Knife Works for fulfilling my order smoothly and professionally! Bought this Lightning Tanto blade to add to my collection of OTF’s. Rate it a 4 out of 5 due to feel the blade should be a bit longer. Overall its a great knife for the price so can’t complain!

I got this knife to use as my edc and the blade on this knife is very sharp and strong. I haven't had any issues with the mechanics of the knife. it seems to work every time.

Good quality. Functions well. Great buy for the price. Would defiantly buy again.

As stated before this new Lightning is heavier (3oz more) but there is less blade play than the 1st model (drop point). I have had 1 misfire with this model , but no misfires with my older model (100's of openings) so 4.5 stars

I believe this knife is the newer heavier lightning model. I have the older lightning, and it is lighter. Not as much spring noise, but comes out just a tad slower. In my opinion, the extra weight makes it feel better to hold. Fast shipping. Excellent service. Thank you.

excellent knife to add to my lightning otf collection, works flawless with new heavier weighted design and razor sharp , the new cutting edge design is heavier weighted about the weight of a roll of quarters and just a note the partially serrated versions do have a v grind on the forward blade edge, excellent company to deal with, i have purchased from multiple knife companies and perryknifeworks has exceeded all other companies, great email responses and fast shipping of product, will definitely purchase from this company again thank you chris
