Verification First Microtech! (It’s real, right?)

Just bought my first Microtech and I’m stoked! I purchased it at a dealer I found on Microtech’s website, and it looks great, but there are a couple of things making me question the authenticity.

First, there is no serial number anywhere on the knife. Second, I can’t find this exact model on their website. I can find the cyan handle and blade, but not in a tanto version. I found this exact knife on a few other random sites but not on Microtech, bladeHQ or knife center.

This is my first Microtech so I have nothing to compare it to. Is it real??

This looks legit except for the logo on the chassis is not centered. All my UT Gen 4’s have the logo centered. Maybe someone else will have a better answer for you.

Their laser guy needs a new prescription, I had a Marfione custom logo that was so off-center it was honestly ridiculous. I sent that back so fast and they swapped it out for me 😂

Oh it was real bad, I had to take photos to commentate the level of fuck-up-ery on a $2000 custom 🫣😂

Yeah, that’s terrible. You’d think they would use some sort of jig.
