Scale release - like it???

[TerryL]

I'm ready to order a custom auto, but in a 'scale release' variation.
Does anyone have any opinions on scale release vs traditional button release, or any other type of release?
Pro and Cons would be good..

Thanks

If I were going to purchase an auto, I would go with the scale release. I think because I am fascinated with how it works. I would like to have a "dual action" scale release auto. That way you can open it legal if anyone asks, use the auto when you need it.

You might check out Center Cross Knives - he has some good scale release autos to choose from.

Cliff Polk makes very nice scale release autos. Mosty traditional looking knives. He offers exotic materials for them as well.

I've got one of Gene Osborn's CenterCross scale release autos. I like the scale release better than my buttons. a casual observer doesn't know what they're looking at. Most people can't even figger out how to open it.
once you get used to it, its easy to open/close one hand, and securely locked all the time. no accidental firing in pocket.
