I got a MT Vector today. Bought it on ebay for just under $100 shipped. In like new condition. Well, not quite like new, but after cleanning of some very minor rust with a tooth pick, touching up the tip ever so slightly, and givin it a good dowsing of mil tech, it's pretty darn close.
Would have to say that it appears to be a very good knife, as I expected. It's on the smaller side, but I knew it was. The blade (and handle) are much thicker that on my mini socom, and that's a pleasent surprise. Rubber inserts always seem to worry me a little, but these seem to be held nicely in place. The blade is a very cool shape (nightmarish) and it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to sharpen with a sharpmaker. The lock snaps in place with a reasuring authority, and the clip, although tip down seems to be well made. The handle has plenty of gripping serrations, which I appreciate. However, I would have to say that if my avg. hands were any larger the knife my not be quite comfortable. As is, seems fine. All in all, my only complaint is that it's not black. But even though I've only been playin with it for a few hours, I would have to say it's a great knife that I would recommend.
