GBMotorsports Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Yep! I've got a couple of them. I plan on picking up there HK edition out the front auto in the next week or so. There even made in Oregon Quote
Novaking Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Are Benchmade automatics good knives ? Benchmade are nice. Coldsteel is better. Automatic knifes are a gimic. They don't open any faster. Buck makes a few good ones to. I carry a buck strider. Quote
GBMotorsports Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Benchmade are nice. Coldsteel is better. Automatic knifes are a gimic. They don't open any faster. I'm going to ignore your comment on buck knives. Comparing coldsteel to a benchmade auto isn't really a fair comparison, but he does have a point about autos in general. There not as fast as my kershaw blur, which is what I use for daily carry. Its not an auto, but it does have the speedsafe action on it. I would never use an auto in a situation where I was relying on my knife, I just think there fun. But, back to your question, in relation to other autos, benchmades are the best in my opinion. EDIT…Forgot to mention, Kershaw knives are made in Oregon too! Edited March 6, 2010 by GBMotorsports Quote

Whats wrong with my comment on buck knives? There is USA made and other. The other sucks, The USA one are good. Quote

There hunting knives have probaby been used to clean more game than any other knife company in america. I'm just not a fan of there folders. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Funny, the US Army issues Benchmade Auto Stryker 9100's. I've had one since 2004 and have carried it every day since. Aside from the finish being worn off the blade, handle and belt clip, it functions perfectly. It is a servicable knife, which means any monkey can dissassemble it and put it back together. I removed the spine safety from mine with no negative effect. I've never replaced the spring. It is still very strong. If needed, replacement springs are easy to find online. The 154cm steel holds and takes an edge very well. The reinforced tanto blade profile is very tough. It has never broken off or chipped. Quote
GBMotorsports Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I like the stryker as well, there great knives and I'm not knocking there use as a tactical knife. I just feel the speedsafe design is a more reliable design for me. Quote
heckler&kochp2000 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 Automatics knives are outlawed in California how about in your state? Quote
AR-BALLISTIC Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 If you have the money MICROTECH knives are TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN when it comes to automatic knives. They are just unbeatable quality wise. Very expensive but worth the money if you have it to spend. I really like some of their older models like the HALO II and HALO III out the front knives. http://www.microtechknives.com/home.html Quote
Novaking Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Automatics knives are outlawed in California how about in your state? Outlawed here in Illinois to. Only to firefighters,ems,and police. I bought one when I was a firefighter just because I could. Quote

Super Dak© Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I have a Benchmade infidel (OTF) and a Presidio, and love them both. Nice and sturdy and quality made (and prices are comming down). I remember they were illegal in NY when I was growing up (a long time ago). Didn't know they were legal in AZ 'till I seen them in my local gun shop about a year ago. Should have known, AZ allows almost everything. Quote
jon.benton Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I've had one since 2005...carried it for an entire year in IZ, and it never failed to perform. Of course, it was issued while I was in the Army, but I've heard that doesn't mean anything. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 There are currently no knife laws in Arizona. The autostryker is one of the four knives I carry on me on duty. I also carry a cheap folding razor knife, a Spyderco Military model and a Wilson Cop Tool, which is more of a pry bar. I got the Spyderco for free, it's an okay knife. If you want a fast knife, get a fixed blade and cut out the middle man. Quote
GBMotorsports Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 There legal here in oregon. The cops here tend to be a bit more suspicious of you if they see your carrying an auto(even though most every cop I know carries an infidel on duty). Quote

texas skeeter Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 can you just imagine the fun?? M1014 at the range with his lil safe queens and tossing one of these behind him?? Quote
GBMotorsports Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 can you just imagine the fun?? M1014 at the range with his lil safe queens and tossing one of these behind him?? He would probably have two peons firing off the 30ft flamethrower shells as he walked under them to announce to everybody it was his turn on the range. Lol who would shoot those out of a benelli! Id go buy a single shot H & R for those Quote
texas skeeter Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 im not sure G!! and have always wondered what those flamethrower shells would actually do to a barrel anyways. Quote
