Just discovered this forum from the Microholics forum. I do not have a huge collection of knives but do have a dozen Microtech's, Spyderco's, Kershaw's, SOG's, and Protech's. I have always admired the Dalton's and am developing an itch to procure one. I have been "lurking" for a few nights now and figured I'd take time to post a hello. Being in Michigan, I usually do not carry an automatic... but my everyday EDC's are a SOG Twitch XL (weekdays) and a ZT-301 (weekends)... both are bad-ass assisted openers which are legal for carry in Michigan. I carried my Ultratech for a while but figured it's not worth losing if confiscated by law enforcement... My automatics are for "around the house". My next knife will probably be a Dalton OTF. Cheers from the Detroit area!
