I'm looking to add a new auto tactical folder to my collection.
I was looking for input from others. I'm looking at items such as the Benchmade Stryker auto, The Colt M-16 folder, The S&W special opps knife. Or the Emerson tanto blade knife (don't know the name).
I was wondering what kind of feedback could be offered on any of the listed items. I would also like to hear of knives of the same quality and close to these designs. Help me out I don't know which to get.
I just bought an MOD Mark II two weeks ago and I use it every day. It's a very well made knife IMO that came to me SSS (Scary scalpel sharp)! I did my usual shave test on my left wrist and it made an awkward baby smooth, hair free strip apear on my arm. Most knives don't remove enough hair for it to be too noticable but this one did. The lock-up is outstanding and the action is very smoth and fast. Now I know that the Micropenises, I mean Microholics will tell you that only a Socom will do. However they are kinda tough to come by. Personaly I want a Socom within two or three knives from now but I'm glad that I got the Mark II first.
I have an auto stryker and it's an excellent blade with a really nice hand fitting shape to the handle. The tanto blade is razor sharp but takes a little getting use to. This knife has one annoying problem though. The grip assuring texture of the handle (like a really fine grit sandpaper) will wear out your pocket faster than any other knife. This is why I dont carry mine at all anymore. Kinda lowers my opinion of all the aluminum handled Benchmade autos.
Benchmade Mini Ares Stryker 9530SBT Black Serrated Automatic. Think for sure this is going to be the one. Just have to wait for the tax return now. Is $145.00 fair going rate for this item?
Thanks for all the input I know to some $150.00 for a knife isn't much and others think wow $150.00. I just want what I paid for, quality.
