I want to get an OTF automatic knife for EDC. I have a Benchmade Stryker already, but I REALLY want a Microtech.
Which model do you recommend and why?
Is there any model to avoid?
Thx in advance...

Thank You... Both of those look really solid...  
How are they in comparison to the Ultratechs? Looking at the Microtech site the Ultratechs caught my eye...

Another vote for the HALO.  I have a HALO 3.  The lock up is solid and the blade is sharp as hell.

Scarab.

I own that and a Halo 3.

My HALO III is great, it's really solid. For EDC it wouldn't be ideal since you need two hands to close it. The dual action OTF have some blade play but the automatic opening and closing is pretty slick.

i say go with the trodon, i have a single bladed one that works well. Its not to larger or to small and infact works great for EDC ( i do it ) Just need to get a replacement clip for it. I sat down in a chair and it got hung up on the arm rest, bent it out of place a bit.

Excellent inputs everyone...

My only concern now is verifying that it's OK to have one shipped, via UPS/FedEx, to my house from an out of state vendor. It's OK to carry and own an auto knife in AZ, my concern is the interstate commerce portion...

Any thoughts?

UPDATE
I reviewed the laws and I am OK to order and have the knife shipped via Fed Ex or UPS.


I ordered a Microtech Ultratech DE

Did you order direct from Microtech or is there an Arfcom vendor I need to speak with? I've also been eyeballing the Ultratech.

Thanks...
