Lightning D/A OTF Automatic Knife (Value R3 000)

Lightning D/A OTF Automatic Knife

Colour: Black Handle & Black Blade

50/50 Plain/Serr  Edge

Exceptional Quality

Critics say this OTF (out of the front automatic) flick knife is of such good quality:

• That it ranks among knives that cost in excess of R3000 (Bib or buy rules prevent me from saying the name of its competitors)
• You can play with it all the time and irritate you friends without concern that it will just break.

"This is an awesome knife! The fit and finish are excellent for the price and the action is sweet. There is some blade play, but much less than any other budget double action (D/A) knives we've come across. The knife is 100% useable. The handle is mint green powder coated aluminum and has a textured surface which helps ensure a good grip. The blade is satin finished stainless steel and imprinted with "LIGHTNING" on the top. The firing button is aluminum and mounted on the side making the Lighting slim and east to carry. The knife doesn’t need a safety since the button requires some force to fire the blade. The pocket clip is mounted on the back left. The lightning has all the great action you crave at a price you'll appreciate."

“When it comes to the knife world, there are several people who are avid collectors of OTF knives. You do not need to be collector to own an out-the-front knife. If you are looking for an OTF automatic knife that is inexpensive, reliable, and at a price where you won’t feel bad if you abuse a little, then there is only one knife that pops into my head: the Lightning OTF...  Sure, they might not look as good as a Piranha or a Microtech ‘ (which cost over R3000. Even a cheap not such good quality OTF starts at about R1600) ...  With this said, you can’t go wrong when buying a Lightning. Believe it or not the action on this knife is fairly comparable to some of the more costly knives. From the aluminum handle to the smooth out-the-front action, I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for an OTF that will not leave them poor and destitute. Made in Taiwan (ahem–the quality of this knife is far above China-grade quality), the Lightning can withstand hours of finger-pushing action abuse. There are tons of high quality knives that are being made in Taiwan of late. This is a knife that everyone should own: either for their collection or as their EDC (everyday carry).”
