Spring assisted knives

[Ah Pook]

Frick people just buy an Emerson with a "wave" and be fricking happy. Faster than any auto knife and totally legal - no springs or gimmickry. Besides Emerson makes some damn fine knifes.

+1 on the Emerson.

I carry a utility knife, in the pocket, all the time. One of my requisites for a carry knife is that it can be opened and closed with one hand. Autos and spring assist don't fit the bill there. Don't get me wrong, I like to play with sharp pointy things too. Daily use is a different story.

A knife an "axis lock" can be set-up and maintained to operate one handed. My preferred carry is a Benchmade Griptilian.

Hmm, I can open and close any of my SOG or Kershaw spring assist knives single handed, even off hand as that's where I learned to carry them. The SOG lock is easier to disengage than the liner locks, but they're still workable.
