I don’t buy OTFs to use. For use I prefer a folder. I usually carry an OTF in my left pocket to play with and a folder on my right to actually use.
Most days my folder is a Spyderco of some sort. If I could figure out a comfortable way to carry a Buck 110 I would carry one instead.

I own both or at least I did until I traded my MT UT for a second infidel. I hated the Glass break and side action on the MT more than anything.

I like it much more than the UTX. It's still a bit slender for my liking which in turn makes the switch a bit slender but that is probably a good thing and just will take some getting used to since I have carried the lightning OTFs for so long.
I get a much better purchase on the switch of my...
