I carry a Bugout w/blue scales. Now and then a Bugout mini. Love Benchmade. Worth the extra $$. I have a few others like the Boker Kalashnikov auto in a couple of sizes. The mini one is cool.

I have a couple of OTFs and they work fine. But one thing that bugs me about most OTFs is the blade "wobble". I get its the nature of the beast and that this is not a defect, but I like the solid feel of a flipper when the blade locks open. Especially assisted flippers that require very little effort to open.
I have been playing around with a CRKT balisong, practicing opening and closing it like a Filipino gang member. I've gotten better at it - but not mastered it yet.
I later bought Bear and Son balisong/butterfly and the identical trainer so I dont cut myself practicing.
The training knife is highly recommended. The B&S butterfly is very sharp out of the box. Take my word for it the trainer is worth the money.
