Microtech LCC Generation Question

Post by hollowdweller »

Can anyone tell me what it means when someone refers to 1st generation or 4th generation Microtech LCC's? I see that mentioned a lot, but don't really know what they are referring to. Is just age, or is there some sort of mechanical difference?

I would think it would be the production line, lets say the 1st generation only had smaller blades and only B-blasted hardware the second one might have polished and B-blasted hardware and larger models, altough I am not that farmilar with microtech.

I think I can help a bit. For the MT LCC when it first came out it had titanium bolsters.This was the first generation. I understand that the equipment to machine them and the production workers were having a tough time. Second generations came out with Aluminum bolsters. I think the lastest versions with the SV90 are third generation. I haven't had the chance to examine one yet but I'd bet they had aluminum bolsters!
