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

This is my first OTF knife. After scouring several places for information on OTFs, I carefully selected this one as a good balance of all factors considered associated with this style. The action has been dead reliable and blade came plenty sharp. I haven’t abused it, but have cycled it a fair amount with no failures. The fit and finish are good (not great) for this price point but the reason for the non-5 star review is the OTF experience. The force needed to actuate the blade is spot on, but I feel like there could be more done to provide a quality feel when end of full in or full out is reached. It knife is good for the price and is well worth the money. Just know you don’t get a high end feel.

great knife came super sharp out-of the bag, on the subject of bag though the knife came shipped in a grey envelope wrapped in only plastic bag, all in all its a good knife that is easy to carry and does a great job just meh shipping

Worked great out of the box, but I still disassembled and cleaned and then oiled lightly with Breakfree and now it's even better. I have many more expensive knives so this was bought mostly for novelty, but it's been in my pocket since i received it because it's fun to play with. I've already had two friends order one for themselves after trying this one! You really can't go wrong for only $30 and I definitely recommend getting a Lightning to try out the OTF concept. Plus it's $200 less than the Microtechs I was considering (which may still happen at some point).
