Going to buy an Automatic

[Jeremiah]

I have a Spyderco Citadel & really like it Spyderco Citadel Automatic Knife 92mm (3.6" Black Plain) C117BKP - Blade HQ
I don't carry it, but did when I was an LEO. One of my FTO's had a Infidel. He liked it but I didn't want to pay that much for a knife.
Keep hoping the law will change so I can resume carrying the Citadel, though.

Where you an Indiana LEO?

Spyderco has 2 OTS auto models. Embassy and Citadel. USA made and S30V blade steel. I have seen them on Knifecenter.com.

hk also has an out the front (made by benchmade) protect does sell and out the front also, but I, like a few here enjoy Tonys creations either under his name or micro. If it works the 1st time it works always (i hope)

Having used Autos for years and experience with Benchmade and Protech, I will say I like the protech better for daily use but my BM was a workhorse that took abuse like no folding knife I have ever seen.

I will say that Protech's lack of a lock has bit me more than once.

Lived in NM for a long time.Bought and sold a lot of Auto knives....Was a Benchmade fan until they started putting a lock mechanism on them.IMO Auto knives are best carried in a hip holster....Got over the Auto thing and started carrying custom fixed blades by up and coming makers in the Southwest.ALREADY OPEN!!! (take that Big Brother!)
