[QUOTE="excat, post: 2795796, member: 29449"] I own a [url]http://www.benchmade.com/automaticknives/auto-stryker-family.html[/url] that I know is at least 8+ years old. I like the knife, but tend to not carry it often. It's very well made, but it's also very heavy. It would be fine wearing blue jeans and clipping it to your pocket if you could wear it that way, but in an office job where you don't it showing, it rather bulky sitting at the bottom of a pocket. As far as the action though, it's smooth as butter and I haven't ever put enough stress on it to make it feel like it was going to fail. The ridge slide lock is nice and when engaged, I don't feel like I have to worry about the blade getting released and slicing open my leg (too frequently, lol, I still have my worries just due to age, but that is just me being paranoid of carrying that knife deep in pocket when I do carry it, when I can actually wear jeans and it's clipped to my pocket, I have zero worries) Funny short story, my wife was complaining about having issues getting her knife to open one day (that she carried around), so I told her I'd take a look at it. Sure enough, it's one of these. I informed her it was illegal at the time to carry it, and she didn't know any better. It's a hell of a knife. I asked her where and why she got it, she said she picked it up at a pawn shop a year or so before we met, and it was something like $5 to $10. I couldn't believe my ears.
