I really like the looks of this knife and would love to carry one. But since it is an auto I could not carry it. I seems like Benchmade will make an auto and then a year later make a manual version. I have spoken with Benchmade reps and they have nothing to say about future models. They just suggest to send emails requesting a manual Bedlam. Based on what you've seen in the past do you think there will be a manual or Axis Assist version of this sometime in the near future? If you want one send them an email:http://www.benchmade.com/products/8600
