Fastest opening spring assisted knives?

My 477-1 is extremely fast and opens with a thwack!!! 581 just a hair slower.
Fastest autos are my Pro Techs.........amazing knives!

Two steps is slow! Pick any folder you want with the Emerson Wave feature and you will see what fast is....
 
I have 2 Blurs that are extremely fast, but my Clash is the fastest by far...and the cheapest.
 
Any of my Emerson will outspeed any clunky spring mechanism. And no risk of them opening by accident in my pocket.
 
I need clarification, with your hand held still, are they as fast as autos? I handled a benchmade 665 APB and it seemed slow compared to my smith and wesson swat knives

The blade is drawn the moment you pull the knife out of your pocket. Nothing can't be faster than that. No doodling no nothing, you're ready, as you should be if you feel the need to use your knife fast in any situation.
BUT... You need to have pants, not suitable with a Speedo :) Also work with a jacket pocket.

Sorry i wasn't clear, I didn't mean the emerson system, i meant most assisted opening knives.
