Auto knife thread

I thought knives were knives and Stilettos were shoes :idk:

lol
You guys have some nice blades. Drives me crazy that most good knives cost as much and at times more than a gun.
Best knife I ever owned was a boot knife. Used as a tool, never carried it for defense. Trooper took it from me. Bet he took it all the way home.

Looks like a Benchmade/Boguszewski half-serrated auto spike (2nd from right). One of a few I regret selling.

So @HEX you're saying my unsharpened Sykes is G2G?

Hahaha... Is kind of smart for a "knife" company to be anti gun... Less guns, more knives! Lmao!

Kind of like Sony (Betamax) being anti VHS! No?
(Exposing my age, hahahaha)

I don't read any more into that then pure business acumen.

I’m not so sure it would work that way. Everyone I know that carries a gun has knives and multiples. I guess not buying guns would give me more money to buy knives but I’m not sure I’d buy many more than what I have now. I’d buy the benchmade infidel but after that not sure I’d buy many more.
Let’s hope we do t have to go there honestly.

Love me some Microtechs, but their reddit feed has a LOT of people complaining about broken knives. Their customer service is great, but apparently their quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

218bee · Apr 20, 2020

yeah, that and I'm not a fan of how they put the word "Microtech " on their pocket clips , plain as day. Its just me, but I'd would rather keep the fact that I'm carrying a Microtech to myself. Should I ever get one, I would have to paint over the clip or get an after market/unmarked one I guess...Just thinking out loud..

Really? I never really cared for their looks, but always heard they were the benchmark for auto knives.

Hello

I’ll add my 2cents. Microtechs are the benchmark, but benchmark doesnt alway mean the best. A solid choice yes.

I have no photos to add at the moment but maybe I’ll find some later. I’ve owned 3 Benchmade infidels, Microtech scarab, and Microtech ultratec as far as otfs. And a bunch more autos out the side. Currently I dont own any. Wife Carry’s a Keshaw launch 1 or whatever model is the mini.

something you can’t see in photos or videos is how easy or difficult it is to push the button/switch. Infidels are pretty easy/smooth but microtechs are NOT easy to push/switch. Which over a long period of ownership gets kinda irritating just like a hot wife judging you ordering a coke but then still drinks half of it...

if I was to order one right now, hands down it would be Guardian Tactical RECON in the tanto variant. Completely different switch design which allows you to very easily actuate the switch/button. Cheaper then both Microtech and infidels.

I still will one day... just not a priority at the moment

these where tomatoes from my garden... as well as a friend that drowned himself in a bucket

benbangui · May 3, 2020

what I hate about most OTFs is the blade is never practical for normal day to day use. I loved the scarab cause it had the width of a normal knife. so the blade geometry/angle was good for normal daily cutting uses like a normal knife.

That’s a wicked centipede. Wow that’s huge.

Airborneguy · May 12, 2020

Jesus I’d move away if I saw one of them.

I’m waiting on an OTF knife from Ravencrest Tactical. They had a 25% of sale last week. I ordered the Titan Alpha Titanium with a drop point non-serrated blade.

Ok, so my dream from my earlier post has been realized... As posted in another thread, and suggested for me to post here... An update!

G&G Hawk Deadlock

Absolutely stunning, and the blade has zero, I mean ZERO movement or play when extended! This only adds to it all...

An extravagance this Christmas, as a gift for myself

218bee · Dec 18, 2020

Man I think I need a cigarette after seeing that..

I stand corrected. Thank you. As I said, I really like the Frank B. Staghorn Italian stiletto.

I did the same thing about a year ago. Don't sweat it. NYS laws are meant to be confusing and full of loop holes.

Love the Bokers, I cannot find my stainless one. I have a feeling my boy got a hold of it and like many things he has borrowed they are never seen again. I brought two back from Germany but only one can be found now.

Cooolone · Dec 19, 2020

Funny thing is when I was in Deutschland last year, I didn't even think about looking for a knife

Lol..

Was mostly food, beer, driving, etc.! Not in that order, lmao

You have me looking at YouTube reviews as I type this, all the while telling myself "I don't need this", "I don't need this", "I don't need this"

How is it that this life we all live is only filled with needs? Isn't part of living having things we don't necessarily need but just want?

Hahahaha... Just do it!
(See below)
Lmao!

Look for Gavin's video of him tearing it down, disassembling the Deadlock as an instructional. They encourage you to do it. Every other Auto will void your warranty... In addition, they will do maintenance and stuff for you, resharpen, etc. if you can't. Will fix hiccups, etc. And the Deadlock is always progressing, getting better with each version, slight improvements. Go for it! Hahahaha

The ultimate enjoyment of life comes from that very thing, "indulgence"... or satisfying an urge, rather than need! If we were to only address our needs, we would never suffer from some of the most beautiful experiences that are available to us! There would be no arts, no parks, etc., etc., no NOTHING, ie, anything outside of basic subsistence...

The hesitation in some dwells from that very nature of putting necessity over want ... doing for others before oneself ... The guilt is overwhelming for some at times, I know all about that. Trust me... Two kids through college, etc., lol... This isn't selling the house and going Charlie Sheen, it's a mere blip on the radar that will pass, but in contrast to Sheen style indulgence, I'll still have the item after spending the $, lmao! To enjoy, again and again, and again!

My turn at resurrecting an ancient thread...

I bought this at a gun show ( not in NY of course ) last week. It cost me $ 125. High carbon steel half serrated tanto blade with stainless internals. There is a rubbery finish on the handle that makes for a secure grip with wet hands, but also makes it more difficult to remove from a pocket. The trigger is smooth although not as stiff as the Microtech I own. I actually prefer the stiffer trigger. It has a lifetime warranty which I hope to never need - the guy that makes them says that he gets less than a dozen back in a given year, mostly for lint and dirt inside.

I'm sure he would ship to your house if you requested. Many different blade styles were available in each of the 3 sizes. A plethora of colors available as well.

I have no idea how well this will hold up, but having compared it to the cheap-ass chinese shit knives at the show that were similar, this looks reasonably well made.

If anyone desires contact information for the guy that makes them, I can post it for you.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why automatic knives were ever illegal? I mean I can carry a gun but for a lot of years the cops would have ignored my gun and told me the knife I had was illegal. Bizzaro world.

"It looks scary" lawmaking.

You need look no further than the AWB for that.

Bayonet lug? Idk what that is, but it looks scary.
