The popular Lightning automatic is a sensible OTF knife choice for value-minded enthusiasts! Fit and finish are great for the price and the action is outstanding. The Lightning is 100% usable and the wow factor is undeniable! Everyone should have at least one of these knives in their collection.
This model has a black powder coated aluminum handle with a textured surface to facilitate good grip. The firing button is mounted on the side, making the Lightning slim and easy to carry. The blade is satin finished stainless steel, partially serrated, and marked "LIGHTNING" on the top.
The Lightning OTF knife is outfitted with a clip for pocket carry, but if you're looking for a neck carry option then take a look at the Custom Linos Kydex Lightning OTF Sheath!
Please note that there may be some chips in the paint from shipping, but otherwise these are the same great knives you love!
Customer Reviews
Easy to carry. Personally… I'm not fond of the pocket clip.
As Bladeplay notes, there were a few spots of finish missing. Who cares? If this was a couple hundred bucks, that is a different story.
The blades fires very hard and fast. Mine has never gone off track. It was reasonably sharp out of the box. A few seconds on the leather belt on my belt grinder and it easily shaves hair off the arm.
I've been using it for EDC until I get a pocket sheath for my Godfather done (I carry keys, etc. in my front right pocket and they will scar up a knife--don't care if they take the finish off the Lightning, DO care if they damage the Godfather).
The one and only complaint I have with the Lightning is the upward blade play. 1/8" as close as I can measure. Downward and side-to-side play is minimal. One would think this could be improved.
So, yes, this knife is well worth the money and I recommend it for those who want a nice OTF and don't have the Benjamins for a Microtech.
It has a nice weight to it as well. Being a collector and outdoorsman this is destined to be my new EDC. Thank You Bladeplay
Lightning for a good friend of mine. He wanted an OTF, and I told him all the cheap ones were junk. He works in the food service industry ,and I know for a fact that he put his Lighting through the wringer. He lost it recently, and asked me to get a new one for him. I got two. One for him, and one for me. Two years of constant abuse with no problems is a great record in my book. I got him the custom Linos kydex sheath too. I bet he doesn't lose this one. = )
