I've handled the a few of the benchmade OTF's and they seemed really nice. I didn't have a chance to actually use them so I can't comment on that. Also, I've always been a fan of the protech knives. But I'm not sure if they have OTF or just swing out autos.
here you go doug. i had to order a spring for an lcc and i called jim hansens number first but he was on the other line so i tried jeffery.

I'm aware that BM makes a couple OTFs, but I've handled them as well and I wasn't impressed. I wasn't really impressed with the HK Tumult either. Piranha would make a nice OTF if it didn't sound like a baby rattle when it is closed. IMO there just isn't another company that makes an OTF to the same quality as MT.
I know what youre saying about OTF's and combat value, but all i can really say is I am in a plainclothes assignment and carrying a fixed blade wouldnt be all that practical for me, even a smaller dagger might be tough. An easily accesible OTF really is a good option for me.
TIMBERWEASEL...GOOD ONE!!!!!!!
