These Benchmade assisted-openers have recently found their way into my pockets. S90V and S30V blades, and slick, reliable actions with sturdy lock-ups. They lock open or closed. I'm not sure if they are legal for concealed/pocket carry in California. If anyone knows, I'd like to find out about that!
A little pricey, but who cares?!?!
EDIT: I went ahead and googled it before the snarky comments started rolling in. They are legal, as Cali sees a distinction between pressing the button on an auto and pressing the flipper or thumb stud on the assisted-openers. It makes me wonder if the rocket surgeons that write these laws have ever been in the same room with an auto or an assisted opener.
Living in Cali can be a chore sometimes. Of course, living anywhere else can be a chore at times, as well!!!
