One of the most enticing knives to me when talking about Automatic Knives,
is the "Out the Front" or "OTF" style Automatic.
And when it comes down to sorting out the best from the best concerning
OTF knives, Microtech and Robbie Dalton Knives are the topics of discussion.
My choice - the Robbie Dalton "Asp" - Border Patrol Edition.
The Asp, an OTF style knife, smaller than the Border Patrol Knife, was put into production around 2001. From it was born its bigger brother,
The Dalton Border Patrol limited edition OTF.
At the time (and probabally still as of now) the Border Patrol was the biggest
OTF available on the market - just one reason I prefer it to other OTF's.
With an all alluminum construction frame, a double edged, cryogenically
treated and hardened blade and spring-loaded action that makes your wrist
snap back, the Dalton Border Patrol is bigger yet lighter, stonger and faster
than any other of the dozens of OTF's I've handled.
There were a very limited number of these made, which makes it very
collectable as well.
