Favorite current-production assisted knives?

I almost exclusively carried Speedsafe knives for years. Notable retirees from my EDC rotation include the Leek, Shallot, Blur, Vapor, Volt II, Clash, and Kuro. The Leek had the longest tenure and was eventually retired by the M390 Dividend. The M390 Dividend is currently the only assisted knife in my EDC rotation. That's mostly because I don't have a good manual replacement for "shirt pocket carry", which benefits from being thin and carrying tip-down with a deep-carry clip.

very few people are interested in assisted opening knives because they do not give you control of opening. Seriously, assisted opening is outdated.

I've been able to open every assisted knife I've owned so far in a slower fashion, which is handy in some circumstances. (Usually this involves "bleeding off" the spring tension against my thumb and then slow-rolling it the rest of the way.)

It's fussier than it would be without the assist, of course. But not bad. :)
