Okay--
here's the situation...I am going to finally bite the bullet and buy my first auto. However, I am unsure of which one to buy. I have had the opportunity to only handle ONE auto in my time, and I loved it. I have succesfully narrowed it down to four prospects, and I need some help making an "educated" decision on THE one to buy.
Here are the options (IMHO):
GT Auto Tanto 3.5" blade 4.25oz ~$169.95
BM Auto Stryker 3.7" blade 4.1 oz ~$179.95
REKAT Pocket Hobbit 3.5" blade 7.5 oz (ouch) ~$179.95
MT Mini USSOCOM/AT 3.25" blade 2.5 oz
~$189.95
Okay--I know that there are alot of other good autos out there, but these are the four that I think fit my "tastes" and ones that I have seen mentioned on the forums enough to know that I can't really go wrong with either of them.
My main carry situation(s) will be a "back-up" work knife and the primary defensive knife for me to carry. A concealed way for carrying would be excellent. I like the option that there is for the REKAT with the Kydex above the belt sheath and I know I can purchase a custom Kydex for any of the knives. I live in TN and I don't think there are any major probs with auto and they are all with-in the length limit for TN.
So--I am soliciting your experiences and your knowledge. There is alot of great info that flows through these cyber-halls and I greatly appreciate the service that it provides for us "knife-lovers."
I thank you in advance for the time you will take to help me out in my decision.
