A growing number of collectors customize their automatic knives by changing scales, bolsters, blades, doing fileworks, ... Wether you're a guru or just a wannabe knife modder, this is the place to discuss it!

I hope I am not asking an offending question as I greatly value your good will and help.
In prior replies you said you never worked on a Microtech or a Due Buoi. I can sort of understand the Microtech with
their life time warranty (if you can get satisfaction from them), but what is the story on Due Buoi. I am in the process of
waiting for one. Are they built so well that they rarely require any attention? Please do not burst my bubble!!!!
Howdy Olerod,
My bet:
You will not have a problem with a Due Buoi forged auto.
You will have a problem with a MT if you're going to use it (hence the warranty).
Either knives are built to be used. But both hold their value when kept in mint condition.
If you're a collector, you probably won't experience any problem with either knife.
But comparing price with quality, I'd say you get A LOT more for your buck with a Due Buoi.
On the otherhand, a Custom T.M. microtech will match Due Buoi on quality. But the same price of one of Tony's custom pieces could fetch you between 4 and 8 Due Buoi forged autos.
I look forward to seeing your Due Buoi once you get it! Please post pics
all the best,
