I also have a Benchmade auto-stryker. Balisongs are just too flashy to use in some places where, even though they are mostly illegal, an auto will draw less attention.
I got a Boker Speedlock, nice knife, although it loosened up (blade play) a bit under repeated opening/closing. Guess the aluminium handle is a little on the weak side for an auto.
Got some cheap Italian autos as well, but counting them as knives would be a bit daring.

I have a BM3500. I bought it because I had $$$ burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't find any balisong's for sale to save my life last fall. I've only had it out of the box a couple of times. It's kinda cool, but you press the button and the blade comes out. That's it! What fun is that?

Believe it or not, Iwas hugely into the auto scene a couple years back. I started with the stilettos, then graduatedto a few Paragons, Autospikes and various cheaper "middle of the road" Autos. Since then I started college (my dad bought me lots of presents--in case your wondering, Im 19 now) Im actually enrolled in law school, so in thenext6 years orso, you'll have a kniferepresentative I suppose.
Anyway,I find autos boring,and a bit of a hassle since Im left handed, my daily carry isusually a spyderco....its as fast as most autos and a little easier for me being left handed.
