Microtech Custom Nemesis IV OTF Knife Automatic Dagger Blade (Damascus) 11/2010

This Custom Damascus Nemesis OTF knife was acquired from a collector. It is s/n 010 and dated 11/2010. This knife is in excellent condition, but does have slight wear on the draw bar and some wear on the outside puller as well (see pictures above).

This rare Nemesis OTF knife features a Damascus dagger blade with a unique and beautiful pattern. The firing button and safety are two-tone black finished and the screws are plain black. These Nemesis knives have the custom Marfione dagger logo and each knife is individually serialized. Charging handle is marked “A. Marfione 11/2010 Nemesis IV S/N 010”

If you are not familiar with the Nemesis, there are a few design features that set this great knife apart from all other Microtech Knives. The first thing you may notice is the safety on the front of the handle below the firing button. The safety is milled and features textured grooves and the triangle motif. It is marked “F” and “S” to show the fire and safety positions, respectively.

The Nemesis also differentiates itself from other OTF knives with a “liner-lock” type lock which secures the knife open. Instead of pushing the button to retract the knife, like the Halo, you have to push the liner lock over and pull down on the charging handle.

The Nemesis IV knives have black anodized aluminum handles that feature a milled contoured surface. They have also customized the hardware with the triangle screws and triangle “topographical” firing button.
