Today I'm checking out the Lightning Elite OTF - a dual-action automatic that's been getting some serious praise for delivering premium action on a budget. Special thanks to our friend John Emerson for loaning this knife so I could see what all the fuss is about.
This compact OTF features a side-mounted sliding button that delivers snappy, smooth deploy and retract action that's been enhanced over the standard Lightning models. The two-tone blade and textured aluminum handle give it a clean look while keeping it comfortable for everyday carry. Sure, the 440 steel isn't going to win any edge retention contests, but sometimes it's not about the steel - it's about getting reliable OTF performance without breaking the bank. After spending time with this knife, I can see why so many folks are giving it high marks for value. Let me show you what makes this affordable automatic worth considering.
