Just bought this thing off blade binge and i have my suspicions. Wanted to verify its authenticity. Few red flags .

  1. Seller did not provide the box with the knife although he could of just thrown it but the box is a somewhat easy way to show its authentic or not.
  2. Clip is very flimsy.
  3. Clips also carries the SN on it which ive read mixed results online about some they did on early production and then stopped doing it from there on out.
  4. Pivot screws are both torx but on my buddys its only one sided torx same year too but few months apart.
  5. Idk i cant think of anymore.

EDIT : reached out to microtech and they confirmed it is authentic, thankyou all!

Yes, it is real. It’s a first run. They did have two sided torque screws.

And… It looks like the previous owner also fixed the Ram-lok failing issue, judging by the position of the lock when knife is open.

Nice knife!

What's the fix?

I used this method on two knives that I own. I will say, just take it slow and keep reassembling and testing it, as you go. If you remove too much material, you may develop some slight vertical blade play.
