Is the Microtech Option II Available?

Jedi Knife · May 25, 2001

This knife caught my attention in a big way while thumbing through the new Blade mag in the bookstore. Can anyone tell me anything on availability? Thanks in advance!

I have heard that it should be out sometime toward the end of June. I also fell in love with it just by looking at it hopefully it will be out when expected.

Do you know where I could find any more information on it? All I found was the picture on the MT website, no dates.

Here is the reply I got from Microtech when I emailed them the same question. The email address is on their website, and their response was very quick.

"Thank you for your interest in Microtech Knives!
The Option II will be available to distributors and dealers in mid to late
June.
Sincerely,
Team Microtech"

Here is a few pictures of the Prototype (not necessarily the final version).

I have suggested that they have it drilled and tapped on the backside, for a money clip.

OOHHHH! sign me up!

I think I will buy one. It can't be much bigger than the Spyder card, especially if it's to fit in a wallet. Can't wait for this one. I saw the pic as well in Blade, but I thought it was one of those "maybe we will make it" knives. Looks promising. no more problems at the airports.
