Which auto knives will you buy on Sept 1?

[TreyG-20]

Federal law is iffy on these things.

Yeah. They can be easily had on the Internet though so maybe they might start. Quantico tactical here in Killeen has been carrying them in stock for a couple years.

Where is a good source for auto knives?

Bladehq has a good selection. Amazon has some also.

Hmm, I want a Benchmade 42, but the 53 is calling to me big time.

I like the classic look of the 42. The 51 is my fav though

Any opinion of the Gerbers and Schrades?

I like the Gerber Covert but it's about double what I want to spend.


I tend to lose knives so it's hard to make a big investment.

Here's a cool one for only $95: CRKT 4504 HAWK D.O.G. Automatic Conversion Knife (3.5" Bead Blast Plain) - Blade HQ

I have this same problem. Which is why every knife I have is less than $50. Check out the websites posted like bladehq and bladeplay. They have many autos for $50 or less. They may not be name brand, but a lot of them are of great quality. I like my Titans, but I guess the are all double edged now from what I have seen. I would check out a few in your budget that you like and start researching them on YouTube.

So, what do we do if we get stopped/searched for whatever reason and we get a cop that doesnt know the law has changed?

Be polite, ask if he can double check, and if you gotta take the ride then take the ride. I doubt it will go too far before being straightened out.

Don't argue.

I like the Boker in orange. I want an orange knife.

I've been on bladeHQ. I like the look of some of the Piranhas but don't know much about them. Also done of the Schrades and S&W.

Opinions of 440 stainless blades?

Heat treat is King. 440C with a good heat treat beats 154CM with a screwed up heat treat. 440C is not a bad steel.

RandomHero, Valid point! I would suggest printing a copy of the law and carrying it with you.

Compared to AUS-8?

I haven't had good experience with AUS 8. It is a cheap steel used in cheap knives. And when manufacturers cheap out there is a greater chance of a jacked up heat treat. But for under $50 you can use it up and throw it away.

Lol, $50 bucks is double my normal knife budget, lmao.


But like I said, I tend to misplace my knives so I never invested much. I do miss a Benchmade auto that I may or may not have brought back from Iraq. Don't remember it costing so much at the time.

I just feel weird spending less than $80 on a edc knife. My luck with knives has been ya buy cheap ya get cheap. Maybe I'm just not good at finding quality knives for cheap. I'm gonna start looking around, myself. Maybe get one for Christmas.
