Personally, I like being able to control the deployment speed of my blades, so many of mine have been de-assisted as long as they have sufficient detent in order to stay closed. That doesn't mean, however, that I don't appreciate a well-built and well-designed assisted knife.
yea,i dont personally like aos either. i like to be able to slowly open the knife around people at work. you dont want to scare the plebs by whipping out an assault knife.
