Come on Ribwizzard . . . . Start us off with yours


If you really want COOL, this is Reese Weiland's Wolverine Prototype


I have long since sold off the Prototype, but I still have one of the custom ordered versions.

My dad gave me this in the 80's. The spring is still very strong. Notice how he, then I wore the blade down through constant use and sharpening. I still carry it quite often.

I have many that are not quite as COOL

This is a nice gentleman's sized auto from Jerry Rados
Jerry Rados is well known for his Turkish Twist Damascus

This one has beautiful exhibition grade Blacklip Mother of Pearl handles

In the fire I lost several stilettos like Rusty's. I might, MAYBE, still have one black one. But I have others.

In this picture the third knife in from the top right is a red stiletto - I forgot I had that one. The third knife in from the bottom right is a "peanut" switchblade.



This next one is the smaller sized Boker ****mat Kalashnikov. Not sure how they got the license to use that name but they did!

This Benchmade Osborne is not actually automatic but it might as well be, it opens so fast:



I bought this little out-the-front automatic knife solely to match it to the red pistol. I'm a child, I know..............

I've carried an "auto" every day for years. My current inventory L to R; Bushmaster Tactical, Piranha Bodyguard, Boker Kalish., and Gerber Covert.

I had a Benchmade auto that I bought the first year carry permits were allowed here in Kentucky. I think I lost in in a truck that I sold. Last I recall of it was stripping wires for a stereo install. I have since decided that I don't deserve expensive knives or sunglasses. I only lose or break them.

But I sure enjoy looking at these. I still catch myself looking at and pricing auto-knives, but I know I'll carry it and soon do something stupid to lose it. Every kids dream in my generation (male youngsters mostly) was to own a "switchblade".

Still is...........

I have quite a few...but this heavily built Italian model (not to be confused with the recent ones that I see for sale at the gun shows!),....came into my hands about 40 years ago:

I bought two Lightning out the front auto knives and their quality is very good for the price. You can typically get them on sale for about $30 and one is a double edge stiletto and the other is a standard blade and I use them on my construction sights like I would any other tool. I use them to cut, scrape, hammer, chop, pry, whatever, and thought that would wear them out pretty quickly but they have held up really well.

This was my Dad's

I won these 3 in an auction several months ago. Very heavy - 11" long. Real MOP and 2 with buffalo horn. AKC brand Italy.

I am a fan of the classics... kind of...
Bill DeShivs leverletto...

No offense, but these are mostly “bad guy” impressive little stickers

I like big practical knives. Here’s my Gerber Auto 06 (next to an old Benchmade Emerson CQ). I love the big button on the auto Gerber. You can mash that down with cold wet fingers or even mitts and have a blade. I always carried that during the winter.

Best Regarda, Les

Here's one more that I sometimes carry, a "Mel Pardue" by Benchmade:

I have a Benchmade 5000 AXIS with serrations. I got it when I was in Kosovo in 2004 and also carried it for three years in Afghanistan.

Here's a 99-year old Schrade "safety button" knife that was a gift from a good friend. It belonged to his wife's grandfather who purchased it in San Francisco around 1920. My friend gave it to me along with the following statement: "This is a working man's knife and it was meant to be used. I expect you to use it!"

As a result, this knife still sees almost daily use here around the ol' homestead. And almost every night, you'll find me sitting in my rocking chair by the fire, touching up the blade on a hard Arkansas stone while I'm listening to the nightly news.

Pack light and cinch tight.

Another favorite of of mine is this Reese Weiland NightHawk
The large Garnet is the blade releaseThe bark ivory scales are much more impressive in person than in photographs

And naturally the file work on the spine is all done by hand
The blade is 4 1/2" long and the knife has an overall open length of 10 1/4"

I have a much carried Benchmade Auto Presidio that is my EDC. On Sundays and for when I am at the office or a dress function, i.e., wedding or funeral, etc., I have a little Benchmade Auto Benchmite. That thing is just about a wonderment! If ... If ... If Benchmade were ever to make this knife in a slightly larger formate, say about a three inch blade, I'd buy it without any regard for the price. Sincerely. bruce.

Does the converted 110 lock up tight when opened ?

Yessir. The hole drilled in the blade fits tight to a catch on the release. I've had the knife for about 15 years and whoever did the conversion did a nice job.

This is a nice Italian LeverLock that my dad brought back from Italy for me. It gets carried on special occasions.



This Benchmade is an assisted opening and is nearly as fast as an auto. My wife got it for me for my birthday a few years back. It has 'been-there done-that' many times over. Benchmade has rebuilt it twice now.

I see that Buck now sells the 110 already configured in automatic. I keep thinking about getting one. So many things I want, so little money!!

This one here has to be the coolest out of them all!
Just a classic , utilitarian design.

I like the selection Blade Headquarters offers. I know they offer the Buck 110 in auto too.

Here is a William Henry Gent's Knife, Model B30, button lock automatic

Blade is Wave Damascus laminated over ZDP-189 core, heat treated to a Rockwell Hardness of 65 to 67.

Frame is heat blued Wave Mokame Gane with Carbon Fiber Scales. Mokume Gane is the same material used on the hilts a Samurai Swords.

Not an automatic, but the Puma Prince looks pretty good along side of
my model 10 2" with Grashorn grips. The holster is Lawrence Special Agent pigskin out, smooth calfskin inside.

This Richard Wright auto uses Turkish Twist Damascus produced by Jerry Rados
The blade is 5 1/4" long and the knife has an overall open length of 12 1/4"

This knife is a liner lock with natural Ivory handles on each side of a Fleur dis Li. The Auto opening blade can be released using either forward bolster making this knife truly ambidextrous.

The rear bolster window shows off a vibrant piece of Damascus steel

The liners are blue and gold anodized Titanium with beautiful file work on the opening side as well as the spine

I don't know which I like the best; knife, gun, grips, cap, holster, or belt.

Maybe one of your neighbors?

Funny. I have had this one since I was 14(so I have it for 47 years now), no ideia where it was made. Carried it in highschool and during military service. Never once needed it though. Nowadays it's a no no to go outside with one.

Scales have a little damage from lots of neglect for many years but it still works good.

Some truly amazing knives here. I wish I had something to add, but I'm a stick shift guy and have no autos. Keep them coming!

I have one automatic knife. For size comparison, it's next to a quarter.

I haven't owned an automatic knife--we always called them switchblades back when I did--in many years. I can legally carry one with my CDW license, but they're mostly above my pay grade in retirement. I'm happy with assisted openers and a Spyderco. I can deploy them as quickly as I could an automatic, and they're cutting tools, not stabbing blades like the stiletto type we all fancied when I was young.

One useful, inexpensive assisted opener I like a lot is the SOG Flash II. I've owned a couple but gave one to my sister and the other to my nephew. May have to get another soon. Good value for the money.

Benchmade Infidel with my EDC. Benchmade calls it a Out the Front knife. I really like that I can deploy it with either hand. I carry on the weak side.

Switchblade to me. Colorado made them legal.
