Small pocket auto knife w/safety?

The Blackhawk 875 automatic version is a quality product at a reasonable price point ($99 or less, got mine for $78 last year on the Internet).

The 875 is an affordable, full-service folding knife that is ideal for both utility and defensive purposes. Available in three striking blade profiles - a Clip-Point Bowie, a Japanese-Style Tanto, and a Double-Ground Fighter. The 875 features stout stainless steel liners, non-slip, glass-filled nylon handle scales, and a high-strength push-button plunge lock mechanism. Both the manual and automatic versions of the 875 include a sliding secondary safety that prevents unintentional operation of the lock button and a spring-steel pocket clip that is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry.

I have had one of these for about a year. I carry it on weekends alot and the quality is very good like most of their stuff.

I replaced my Cold Steel Recon with a SOG Trident folder with a safety. My CS Recon got immersed in salt water and it dried out in the mechanics befoer I had a chance to clean it down. Needless to say, even after cleaning and re-lubing everything, the salt had done it's damage and relegated it to a back-up piece that sits in the center console of my Expy. To the SOG Trident...

I'm going to be replacing it once I get back home from Vegas because of the safety. The knife is a decent product. It's light, easy to manipulate, easy to grasp, and built well. However, the safety is an absolute nightmare. I've gone to pull the knife for use and the safety had "engaged" while being clipped to my pocket. If I need my knife now, I don't expect to be playing around with it because the safety is "on" when it shouldn't be. I do not like the concept of a safety on my knife and I will never again purchase a folder that has one. I tried it and I no likee.

Just my opinion... :smile:

I can't say that it has a safety, because it isn't needed!

Go to Blade Play - Switchblade Knives, Automatic Knives, Spring Assist Knives, Butterfly Knives, Military Knives, Law Enforcement Knives, Collectible Knives and discover the wonderful world of the Boker Kalashnikov knives (AK-74.) The wonderful attributes of this knife includes:

a) AUS-8 steel;

b) low price (under $55.00);

c) rock-solid performance!

I bought one earlier this year and never looked back! I have a SOG Flash-II, two Benchmade Autos (a Mel Pardue 3550 and and first run AFO.) These are great knives, but the Boker AK-74 Kalashnikov is my favorite EDC!

The knife is manufactured in Taiwan, but carries and works like an American made piece! This knife is so well-built, that I rely on it without reservation. I have the "tactical" (all-black teflon-coated version.) For the price, it cannot be beaten... period!

Look into it and buy with confidence. You will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, be dissappointed!

Good luck.

Overview
Named for the creator of the legendary AK-47 assault rifle, Mikhail Timofeevich Kalishnikov, and designed in Germany by Dietmar Pohl, the Boker Automat Kalashnikov 74 automatic knife boasts excellence in craftsmanship. This is your industrial strength switchblade knife ready for daily use.
The blade of this automatic knife, which resembles the bayonet used on the AK-74, is factory sharpened and capable of shaving hair off your arm, and it has a violently strong spring that locks the blade tight and fast upon every press of the release button.
The handle of the Boker Kalashnikov 74 switchblade is made of lightweight T-6 6061 aircraft aluminum that has been treated to a black, textured powder coating providing, not only a secure, comfortable grip, but it also helps to subdue glare and minimizes reflected light. The blade has been bead blasted to a glare reducing matte finish, making this a great covert/black-ops tool!
In addition, this automatic knife also features a pocket clip, and a lanyard hole! It even comes in a custom display box that resembles an AK-74 magazine! What more could you possibly ask for?
The Boker Automat Kalashnikov 74 switchblade knife is a top-notch tactical tool at a very affordable price.
