I just started to edc an otf. I never liked autos before this, and I was wrong. As an old guy who only carried Spyderco’s, the one HUGE advantage is that I don’t have to change my grip to open, use and close my knife. With my old man shaking hands, this is a god send.
Nope I’m not John Wick and autos take all the fun out of knives.
Benchmade Claymore for work. Manual everywhere else
No, and yes we can cary them. I like the fast one hand open and close. Not just the open.
I edc an Ultratech when I’m at work as a cop. I simply wanted something I could deploy with my fingers wrapped completely around it. It’s a last ditch tool in case I somehow fucked up with my better options
Other than that, I’m not a fan of autos because I often open knives only part way when I’m trying to cut something like my cuticles
