1. #77 of only 100 made for the Jersey Devil forum. Fully auto button open.
2. So light cause it's got a composite handle. Easily flicks open via one hand.
3. What I use. Sleek with the clip removed and has a spring assisted one hand open.

We're not talking zombie apocalypse or Deliverance type hardware here.
Something you toss in your pocket while running weekend errands. Pick one.
 
Not really a knife dude but I always keep this in my truck

I have knives all over the place. A few years back I invested in a bunch of cheap autos. Mostly $50 Bokers. I have better stuff, but I usually carry the Bokers because if I lose or break one I won't be too upset. Microtech Ultratech, some Cobratech clones. Benchmade. Usually task specific and not carried to work.

Had pretty much the entire 40 series of balisongs at one point but only have a MINT 42 left.
You see a butterfly in a Hollywood flick? Most likely a 42.

I have 6 or 7 of them. The original fidget spinners. I can only imagine how many hours I spent as a teenager trying to master them. And nunchucks.

Did those too. I was dumb and had an octangular handle set. Too many sharp edges!
Sanded the edges off - they started out painted all black but ended up zebra after the sanding. :ROFLMAO:
 
Over the last 10 years or so I tend to carry over built folders. So, I’ll vote Strider.

Though I don’t carry mine as much since Strider closed down and they’re basically collectors now.
 
Use to keep a Kershaw Leek on me 24/7 for the last 13 years, but the locks keep breaking. Nothing like sticking your hand in a pocket to grab your keys unaware of a partially open blade. Currently carrying a utility blade as it's safer and more practical on the job.

Pro-Tech is no more?

Pro-Tech is still around. I assume they’re still collaborating with different knife makers.

Reading through the knife forums it appears Striders are now marketed as M. Strider knives. That whole story with Mick has been confusing over the years. Closing, selling the name, didn’t sell, collabs only???

I have a cheap Smith and Wesson M&P OTF that I bought when I bought my second Shield. It has a safety, but it still managed to open in my pocket and cut my leg and my jeans. It also has to be manually retracted. It's a piece of shit. None of my other OTFs have or need safeties.
 
My advice is don't bring a knife to a gun fight..
