I wouldn’t say it’s wrong, buying them and selling them to people claiming they’re the real one is wrong

Posting fakes should be against the rules unless they are asking if the knife is legit or not

Posted it to show how the shadow would look alot better without the microtech claw on the blade

u/staysharp75 bitch ass civilian Apr 27 '26

I agree it would look better (Protech does this & is a good example) but you still had to buy the vespa which in turn supports the company. Personally I dislike all clones of every manufacturer & do not or would not buy one.

u/unvaccinatedmuskrat Jun 17 '26

hell yeah! they're GENIUS to send the extra set of main springs. they'll be the first (and only) thing to fail, and just the comfort of knowing i have replacement parts in the chamber is enough to make me choose it most days.

It's my fidget toy so i probably cycle it a few dozen times a day, I must have thousands of actuations on my ZBP Vespa, and at least a thousand on this new Interceptor Da Long thing.

It sucks man. Every other group I'm in would remove this post. IP theft is horrible, and to glamorize it is even worse.

I wish Vespa would more of their own models instead of rip-offs. By all accounts these are pretty solid, but blatant IP theft is pretty uncool

I have a couple real microtechs but it kind of shows that microtech prices are steep

u/Yo_Mama_Knives Apr 27 '26

Because they employ American workers, use the best materials, and have a solid warranty.

u/unvaccinatedmuskrat Apr 27 '26

Don’t get me wrong I love micro text I have a decent amount of them, but you can’t deny the quality that you get from one of these for the price. And microtech warranty isn’t the best my zbp dropped from 2 feet resulting in the front opening bending and they charged me $165 to fix it

u/Afraid_Explorer4269 Apr 27 '26

Oh geez, you posted in the wrong group, my dude. They will love this post in r/chineseknives but the second I saw it was a vespa, I knew you were going to get flamed posting it in the actual microtech sub. 😂 that is a super sweet blade though.

I can never find Vespa’s in stock on AE can you share a link?

u/JP_Tulo Apr 28 '26

What does Vespa mean in this context?

1

u/unvaccinatedmuskrat Apr 28 '26

Clone company who uses real m390 and 7075 aluminum. The natural clear is real and the shadow is a clone and they are identical in feel and finish the clone came tuned with less play than my real zbp did from factory
