I just bought my first Microtech knife today, the LCC MA Plain, Stone Washed version.
I try to read all post in all forums etc, before I make a final buy and almost every post or comment I saw seems to agree, that this is a really nice knife for the $$
I have noticed no noise at all from the laynard pin (Have heard some rattle in the handle), and the blade is dead center in the handle. Fit and finish are great! All grind lines are even. The ONLY thing I can find after close inspection is the handle screw just below the clip is slightly deformed because of the torx driver having slipped maybe upon assembley...Keep in mind this is being very anal and TRYING to find a fault.
I used an eye loupe to look over every piece of this knife and thats ALL I could find. If you didnt know any better youd think this was a hand made or custom knife.
How they are doing this at the price these sell for, I dont know. But this one has just set a new standard for any other production knives I buy in the same price range. The only other I have seen which I think gives the LCC a run for its money is the Al Mar Sere 2000, and that one I think just moved up to my #1 "Must have" list.
