Microtech makes the Giant Halo. It's expensive as hell and is more a sword than a knife. Just search ''giant halo firing'' on youtube to get an idea of the size.
This might be a stupid question, but can someone please explain the fascination with OTF knives? Other than having one for collecting purposes, they kind of seem like useless, extremely expensive toys to me. At least as far as a defensive or combat weapon. I hardly ever need to carry a knife, but when I do, I strap a cheap-ass, fixed blade Buck Nighthawk to my side.
@PaisleySmaze I'm pretty sure I can pull it out of it's sheath just as fast as someone can whip an OTF knife out of their pocket or unclip it from their belt. And when I do....TA-DA!!!....there's no need to push a button, the damn blade is already there. And it's 6 1/2" long and only cost $80. And for the exact same reasons, I also don't understand why law enforcement has such a problem with OTF's, but not fixed baldes. Am I missing something? It makes absolutely no sense to me what-so-ever.
@PaisleySmaze i agree 110%. any OTF, switchblade, or auto knife for that matter, shouldent be illegal in my opinion. i can whip out my folder just as quick. the benchmade mini griptillian is extremely fast to open/close. which goes to show that an auto knife isnt any more special than a folder. to be quite honest i think its ridiculous that someone can carry a gun but an automatic knife is too much. i think people just need to realize that a knife is a knife. automatic or folder they both kill
@afrojew6969 well your arguement atleast used to be valid. now (atleast in my area) they made the carry of any knife that can be opened with one hand illegal. so yea unless you are carrying around a slipjoint, its most likely illegal.
@HPIracing111 i live in florida so the gun/knife laws are generally considered good. Im not sure where you live but i believe that it is just as easy to go to a walmart ant buy a cheap kitchen knife that will kill just as easily as a switchblade if not better. making switchblades (or one handed opening knives for that matter) illegal will not stop crime or killing. the people who are willing to spend 200$ plus on a switchblade, usually arent the ones to commit crimes. just my opinion though.
@afrojew6969 i agree with you for the most part. but basically no matter what, if you are carrying a knife you are gonna have problems if a cop searches you. over where i live unless you just came from work and ur carrying a knife that looks like it is meant to be used as a tool or something similar, they will either take it away and/or fine you because they believe you are carrying it to harm someone whether or not in self defense.
@afrojew6969 No, they don't kill. I have never seen a knife or a gun walk down the street and attack someone. On the other hand an individual wielding a knife, or a gun or a fork can attack you and kill you.
The knife isn't the problem. It is our left wing nanny state government which is the problem. Next election get out and vote for a conservative.
@PaisleySmaze I suppose it's about ability to perform surprise attack... If you're wielding a fixed-blade knife with 4" blade it's more difficult to "palm" it and then suddenly strike.
With folding knifes and OTFs - you can easily hide the knife in your hand and then just open it just before attacking...
At least that's the reason I think stands behind those ridiculous laws :)
@cjoIIProductionz Knives larger than 3'' are not illegal automatic knives are illegal in a lot of places and it is illegal to conceal certain sized fixed blades. But all knives over 3'' are illegal that's wrong...
@BuffaloWarrior7 In NY (not the city) any length knife is legal to carry, as long as it is single edged. Any officers that see you with a ridiculous knife may find it inappropriate depending on where you are, but its not illegal.
@spinkicker37 Here where I live blades under 5" can be concealed but over must be open carry. No bowie blades derks or concealed knives allowed in churches. No automatic blades, multi sided projectiles or balisongs can be carried or used at any time. (They are not illegal to own just to carry so if they stay at home they can't do anything about it) those are just Va state law. County/city laws over rule those.
That's not a huge knife, and I can tell you right now no one in the military is carrying that into combat. If you get into a hand to hand fight with someone and your spring mechanism breaks or malfunctions you'd be screwed. I'd much rather reach for my combat knife, stab and twist. No malfunction there.

just a fancy butterknife,what is that like a 3 inch blade wow its fucking massive!!!how do you keep your pants from falling down with a knife that huge in em.hahaha
@jxiiefeks No. That knife is a Cupid. A Combat Troodon isn't even close to a Cupid. The Cupid is a single action, this is a double. The Cupid is also a button deployment, not a slide deployment.
its a glass breaker and it opens and closes fast but its not very strong.. if u had it in your pocket and it accidentally deployed it wouldn't open the whole way
As far as opening power, it's not as strong as the regular Troodon, but as far as OTF switchblades go, Microtechs are some of the strongest firing out there. They're industry leader for a reason.
Buy a paragon tweek the springs and punture beer cans. Springs can be bought paragon is half the price with S30v steel and will not shatter against walls or bone in fighting mode. Trust me he he poot.

Define 'cheap'? You can get used Microtech side openers for under $200. Out the fronts will start at $200 and usually be more like $325+.
That's what you have to pay for a decent OTF really. For side opening autos, Benchmades and Protechs can be had in the mid to high $100 range.
If you want sub $100, forget autos, just normal folding knives. Look at Spyderco and Benchmade.

The nub is a tungsten-carbide glass breaker.
As far as opening power, it's not as strong as the regular Troodon, but as far as OTF switchblades go, Microtechs are some of the strongest firing out there. They're industry leader for a reason.
