SOG Tac Auto knife: Automatic Choice

Weighing in a just 3.8 oz and featuring a fast, perfectly swept AUS8 blade, the SOG Tac Auto is an excellent tactial auto choice. It's standout features include: reasonable 3.8 oz weight, PERFECT pocket clip, attractive finishing, quality AUS8 swept drop point blade, glow in the dark SOG logo (!), perfect jimping, solid and fast lockup, and thin size. It's a lot of auto knife for around $100 and I highly recommend it. Downsides would be the slick albeit attractive and thin handle and the small deployment button. I briefly compare this knife against the MicroTech UDT, BenchMade Stryker, and Pro Tec Tactical Response 3 to show comparisons against much more expensive autos.
Addition: The UDT shown actually has CPM-S30V blade steel.

Because a lot of people on the left think it's their job to take care of the rest of us and keep us safe as if they were our parents and we're helpless children. They want to prevent low lifes from stabbing people so they say "Hey, let's bad all scary looking knives!" Without realizing that all they're really doing is taking self-defense tools out of the hands of law abiding citizens who would never use them to stab someone to begin with. And of course the low lifes will still have them anyway.

I've been using and "playing" with knives since I was a little kid. They're not that dangerous. I highly doubt a young child will find an auto knife, think it will be fun to stab someone and then goes off and does it. Reality just doesn't really play out like that. As immature as most kids are they aren't THAT stupid. Besides, an auto knife is no more dangerous than any knife you can find readily available in a kitchen. I see absolutely no logic in banning knives and guns.

@theusedcambria182 auto activates via a button or lever NOT attached to the blade, if you push on the blade and it fires then its an assist

@christmanpunch Either do I! I wish they wouldn't banned Automatic knives in certain states and countries of the world. However maybe an Age Limit would be good. When I was 13 I was fucking around with a knife and stabed my leg.

whats the difference between automatic and spring assisted

My philosophy of "auto-blades" is good for uses for in-house use mostly no stress situations. It can be used for as a point at tiny objects instead of a finger. It is also a tool that can be put in a draw and toolbox.

@icemanytube The axis lock isnt a problem cause you only have to hit it when youre closing it, its not necessary to quickly close a tactical knife, only quick to open.

[SuperUltra64]

@christmanpunch I agree totally. Banning guns and knives does not stop criminals from getting them, it just prevents law abiding citizens from getting them. I'm not a legislative genius or anything, but that seems very clearly to be very counter productive to me.

Slashing isn't all that useful in military situations; often the enemy will be wearing pro-gear of some kind, be it kevlar or a flak jacket, and you aren't going to be able to simply slash through it, especially if they are wearing other gear on top of that. A slash is easy to deflect and hard to land in close confined quarters, ie: room clearing. Quick stabs to vital areas work best in situations like that, and will end the fight quickly. That is from my experiences in the USMC. Love your vids

I just bought this, the new editions of them look alot different, mine isnt a satin finish those i got my black coated, ran me 133.74$ tax included

What is your opinion on the out-of-the-front autos like the 3300 infidel benchmade? You talked about the small button for the autos and how it can be difficult understress. What about benchmade's axis locking system like the 940 osborne? Would it be any easier to use under stress? I'm a lefty so I also have to take that into consideration.
