I'm still trying to decide my favorite. Or still haven't found it.

Not really my thing. Seems plain for my tastes. Interesting that Boker and Protech teamed up though.tedmen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 6:02 pm You guys probably already know the Burnley auto Kwaiken but here's a link showing it. Definitely a snazzy auto. I like how clean it looks.

Nice knives all. Really like my Buck 112 conversion.

The Benchmade Autocrat. I’ve been seriously thinking of getting one of these! The first G-10 profiled Benchmade OTF. It has beautifully sculpted and amazing contoured G-10 scales with titanium blued hardware! It looks very well made. I don’t own an OTF. I really like the look of this knife.

I have one. A minor issue is the handle being rounded and so slim it could slip out of one's hand on opening.tedmen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 6:02 pm You guys probably already know the Burnley auto Kwaiken but here's a link showing it. Definitely a snazzy auto. I like how clean it looks.

They're making a smaller one now also.

My favorite is between my Paragon Para XD or my Schrade MC1.

I carry a ProTech Rockeye full-size with knurled scale.
I sent back a different ProTech with a broken spring and customer service was great, in fact outstanding I’d say!
I love my Italian picklocks though!

Re: What's your fav non Italian auto?
I have a soft spot for the original version of the MT Cypher with the stepped milling. They're on the large side, but the handle is very flat and lightweight.
Here's a Marfione version with a high-polished hollow grind, and a shot with a Halo V for a size comparison. The single-edge factory version is a decent user. Mine has almost zero blade play and has been completely reliable. Just keep 'em clean and run 'em dry. Dirt and over-lubing are anathema to OTFs.

that Marfione is stunning !
Re: What's your fav non Italian auto?
Thanks.
I don't particularly care for Tony's business practices, but he sure can bevel-grind and polish a (CNC'd) blade. But then, he learned from Walter Brend, one of the Greats in that department.

Most of my new knives I bought for carry, but this Pro-Tech Godfather is an exception.
