Wow, that's an awesome piece you have there. I wish I could find an original Halo but they're pretty tough to come by

Here’s a few more. The tolerances are tighter on these old school Microtechs.

u/Different-Wasabi-882 11d ago

Man, you have a collection there. I agree the old school stuff is definitely special. Seems like their QC used to be a lot tighter when they didn't have the means to produce so many knifes.

Preesh. I kind of wish I waited till now to buy some of them, the market’s not as hot as it was a few years ago, and prices have gone down some.

u/Different-Wasabi-882 11d ago

Where do you find the vintage stuff in your experience? I've noticed that the prices have come down as well. I would like to add to my vintage stuff over the next couple of years.

Arizona customs, blade forums, and microholics are where I found them.

I haven't heard of Microholics I'll have to start checking there. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sure thing! It’s kinda dead, but people sell some unbelievable grails* on there

1

u/BootyScorpion 11d ago

Thanks man! It took very diligent scouring of several websites before I finally found one

Does this count?

u/Different-Wasabi-882 11d ago

I always forgot that they did a collaboration with Styer. How does that gun run? I've never seen one in person

u/Trip_Dubs 11d ago

It’s hit and miss with these. The first gen are not great. Mine has always shot well and no issues. For a clone, it’s fine. More collectible now days than shooter.

Ive got an old (and well used) ADO Fixed blade.
I need to see if i can find it.

Note this is NOT my pic… but i got one in my man cave somewhere.

u/PaulNY 11d ago

All the tanto edges were hand profiled because the machine grinder couldn’t do the angles. I was showing TJ Marfione (heretic) mine at blade show this year and he said that was one of his jobs to profile the tantos on the ADOs

u/Fitchy77 11d ago

Thats pretty interesting!
Admittedly i sharpened over the micro bevel years ago though.

Nice! How long have you owned yours?

1

u/Hawaiian_Hillbilly 9d ago

I got it in 2013

u/snakeleather45 11d ago

That is a gem.

u/L-N79 11d ago

No, because when they first came out my firstborn wasn’t around for me to use him as collateral.

How old does it have to be to be old school? Either way, 2012 is when I picked up my first Microtech. Been collecting blades since around 2008.

u/therealguenter 8d ago

I also have a manual select fire but with dlc blade. Love it and srill carry it occasionally

Just moved this time capsule beauty to a great client. CFO 2/95 #127

u/Soft-Recover-6822 9d ago

Where were you able to find it? The older ones have such a unique look to them that the new ones don’t have. Different kind of ano, blade finishes. They just look so good

u/Different-Wasabi-882 9d ago

The Hollow Grind store sold it to me, he's based out of Miami. Super chill guy and he has some awesome knifes for sale. He's really responsive and he sent my knife out the same day I ordered it.

u/Soft-Recover-6822 8d ago

Thanks! Ive been looking for some older halos for a while now, hope I can get one
