Automatic knives

[BackWoods]

I have a lightning and I must say they are not that bad for the money. it would be a good thing to get to see if the otf knives were really your thing or not

Great sub $50 auto. Also, the Boker Kalishnakov is a sweet choice for around $35!

Bought a Microtech off BackWoods cause I have always wanted one! Now I want to get something for every day use.

Backwoods -you ever mess around with any of the cheap OTF autos like the Schrades or Lightnings?

The Schrade models are ok for the price range. I think safeties even on autos, are pointless. The "release" on the Viper model is not really ergonomic but, good solid blade for the coin. These are just my opinions.

This is the version I liked.

The release is awkward and takes some getting used to. Almost a year later and it is second nature to me. I originally bought it to see if I really liked OTF before I dropped the coin on a benchmade infidel. I've been so happy with the junk knife I almost forgot about wanting a benchmade.

Enjoy it bro! I can't bring myself to EDC one of mine, lol. I'd cry if I tore one up. Hard to carry a blade that costs as much as a Glock! Lol

Dont want to spend a fortune on my EDC, but when i start looking to get into the fancy OTF knives... I know who to talk to!

Lol, just a hobbyist that knows "a little"! I love sharing my experiences!

Exactly the reason why I am an advocate for the Lightnings or Schrade even. Excellent and cheaper ways to dip into the "auto" pool. If the Lightning had a deep carry pocket clip, I'd throw it in the rotation!
