The Microtech Daytona originally released as a "Factory Custom" knife, what today we would call "Signature Series" This knife was built on the UTX-85 chassis (Essentially the same knife with inlays and more custom style blade grinds)
While the Daytona was originally offered in the three traditional blade styles (Double Edge, Single Edge and Tanto) it was mostly seen in Double Edge with some variants in Damascus steel and early uses of the Marfione Dagger can be seen on certain models.
