    look up lightning otf knives you will be happy you did. You can find them onsale at 25 bucks a pop lots of models.

    Are they a $200 knife nope. I have 4 some are 5ish years old and have had no problems with them other than the metal case shows wear. Do I care if I lose it nope do I care if I pry with it nope that box needs opening sure thing. Plastic clamshell shred it.

    They take a licking and keep on flicking.


    nutnfancy or how ever you spell it did a review on them years ago nice long vid.

    I've been wanting a OTF knife for a while, I just couldn't see spending $200 + for one. I found some reviews that mentioned the AKC brand from Italy were pretty decent. They had an F-16 model that I liked so picked it up for $50 shipped.

    Just got it today so no real experience on using it yet. But the blade does slide smooth & fast enough for me... & its sharp & pointy. I've never held a high end $200 + OTF so I have nothing to compare to, but I'm happy so far.

    Anyone else carry a OTF for EDC? What's your opinions on OTF ...pros & cons?

    Question for Templar Knife owners: Almost two years since this thread. How are your Templar knives now? I'm thinking about one, but it's difficult to find ANY user/owner reviews. Thanks.

    usually carry a microtech utx and the little mini boker. I found one in s30v, its pretty sweet little blade.
    when at the office usually a swiss army tinker in my pocket
    also recently bought some lightning OTF's. They may see some hard use, so far been fun and reliable
