Check out what I found on Grindworx.

Seems someone decided to bring back the NATO Military OTF! I like the look of this. Very close to the originals, but upgraded with modern hardware. The switch looks a little like the ones on the MAGA OTF stilettos. Wonder if this is from the same company.

This style has been selling in China for a couple of years now, slightly different but close. Some sellers refer to these as "Tomb Raider" knives, but we all know the original T/R knife had a finger loop. I bought these 2 last year from www.dhgate.com , US$29.99 for the 9'er, and, US$39.99 for the 11"er. Solid firing and lock-up with the slightest bit of play, which all OTF's display. The smaller one came with bolster "ears" too, but I ground them off to give it a more "icepick" profile. Sorry bout' the poor pictures.

That was actually my post! Thanks for sharing. But I’m Mario, not Marion.
So yeah, these do appear to be from the same maker as the MAGO OTFs. They could have done without the pocket clip, but I guess you can take it off if need be.

The Chinese models don't come with a pocket-clip Mario, which is just fine by me!
