The serial # is 00194, and the date on the pocket clip, is 09/05. The handle, at the business end is squared off, as opposed to the more rounded end I've seen on later models.

I've done some searches on google and I cannot come up with anything concrete beyond that they moved to Bradford in 2005.

So is my buddy correct that it is a Vero knife ? Could have been made before the move ? I can't make any sense of their serial number sequence. Were they for batches or overall production ?

There doesn't appear to be any place on the web I can find for a serial # repository for Microtechs.

Anyone ?

Hey Jim thought I would try and help if you contact MicroTech direct the guys will look up your serial number and tell you exactly when and where it was made I still own my original HALO. Wish I still had my Talon proto from them. If you need it I have the contact info around here some where. Nice blades though all of them.
