microtech select fire manual, is it worth it?

[sogflash]

is a microtech select fire manual worth it if you just want a knife? does it have anything special about it?

The Select fire manual does not have anything special about it other than the design. I guess if you want a odd/cool looking knife without the risk of the dual action auto being illegal then it would probably be a good option. But as far as the price goes I personally don't think it is worth it, but that's just an opinion. like I said though if you like the design
then it is up to you.

It is an award winning design that has a really nice feel in the hand. Sure you don't get to "select" whether its manual or automatic, but it is a really nice folder.

Their screws that require a $100 tool to adjust is pretty special

Really good ergos but in my opinion no it's not worth it.

+1 on that opinion...I own the manual version and I refuse to pay the money for the option of automatic.

Sorry if I'm off-base... But was the Select-Fire meant to be Microtech's take on the SNG? I could swear I remember reading something like that somewhere...

Not worth it.
Nothing I've read about MT has been good. From their shoddy CS, to their mis-firing OTF's.
And where might they have found the inspiration for this design??? Or did they just steal it, like they did ZT's 0777 ?

They have minor similarities, but I was only able to pull up the Marfione versions. I don't know anything about regular production runs.

Needless to say, the original Strider versions look much better and are probably twice the knife for the price.

Would be much cheaper to get a Spyderco Lum without having to deal with the stupid screws.
