Title says it all have a couple axis auto's coming soon and was wondering what you guys like best and why that have had both the push button or axis models?
 
I've only had two BM auto's. 6150 and an Infidel. Both cool, I liked the 6150 better than the OTF. Didnt carry either, had the Rukus for yearsand the Infidel for only a few months before traded..both. If the 6150 had thumb studs, I would not have got rid of it. Niether were that practical as far as autos go, honestly rather non.

However, I think if your going to go auto, push button is whats up. Although Ive never had one, the mini Reflex would be my choice. ( I just had a trade offer declined for one, sadly). I think its a slick, practical and would see much pocket time in my rotation. The AFO and that MP/HK Mini Rukus type model are cool and on my list... I dont think Id carry as much as a mini Reflex.
 
The 6150 looks like a sweet auto. Infidel i don't think i'd like much either. Got both of these 5000 and 5500 coming to me from a trade also had a choice of a 9051 but from what i've seen on youtube the auto button gets sticky and hard to push over time and were also saying the push button ones blade didn't fire as hard. The grip is kinda too big also. Might still end up getting a push button one just to try in future. Excited to get these my first auto's.
 
I prefer small. My favorite is the Pardue designed 3550. Makes for a great utility knife.
 
Only 1 BM, my first the 810-1401 Contego. That Axis lock is nothin but the truth lol....
