Thanks to those who reached out, found what I was looking for. This is a great forum! 

 

I find myself contemplating an otf blade. I don't really have any specific needs as to length or brand, but I'm a big guy so a larger handle is better. I'd prefer dagger/double-edged but not a deal breaker. Don't want a POS, but don't want a Ferrari either. It's going to be an EDC, losing my mind because a scale gets chipped on a $700 blade seems kinda silly.

Cash is fine, I also have all the usual calibers to trade. I have a couple of 22 rifles that haven't made it out in a while. Tell me what you've got and what you may be interested in. 

A used blade is dine, just not the one you've been using to pry open paint cans or spilt wood. 

I'm in Jefferson City work in Morristown, get to Papermill in Knoxville every Monday.

I've got a Microtech Ultratech I'd probably part with if you've got to scratch the itch.

It's a great blade and a great conversation piece.

Feel free to see what others post.  You're welcome to PM - we can figure something out.

Still looking, decided after more research I want a DA. 

Who's got what to sell or trade?

What's a DA?

From my "research" such as it was.... A DA is Double Action, auto out, auto in. SA is Single Action, auto out, manually (release the slide/catch/whatever and) pull the blade back by using a knob on the edge. 

Never kne there was such a thing as an SA until I started shopping.

I only have one OTF knife, & I thought this was typical for such.

A member offered to sell me this:

When I looked it up I learned:) Note the small "knub" at the guard when out, seen at the base when retracted.

Since my knowledge can hardly be called voluminous...

Thanks, I didn't think it through.  The only DA i have is a micro tech OTF.  I prefer my Protech out the sides.  Seem much more sturdy to me.

Interesting.  I have a HK Epidemic - which would be a DA.   My opinion - everybody needs at least one OTF - not because it's a practical working knife - but just because.  And for the same reason, it should be a DA.
