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. 8)

That was actually my post! Thanks for sharing. But I’m Mario, not Marion. šŸ˜‰

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! 8)
