Hogue Knives' EX01 Tactical Folder from their Extreme Series is now available as an automatic opening knife. The action is smooth and lockup tight via the button lock mechanism. There is also a front mounted safety to lock the blade. The green G-10 handle features a pattern the creators call "G-mascus" (G-10 & Damascus). The front of the handle has piranha texture for a better grip and a large reversible pocket clip on back for tip-down or up carry. The drop point style 154-CM tactical black finished blade has a razor sharp plain edge.
Hogue, well known for the gun grips, has ventured into the knife world with the introduction of the Extreme Series, designed by Allen Elishewitz. The knives look good, they are comfortable and the function and action is beyond reproach.

The Protech TR-3 is one of the best Automatic knives in production today and is hands down my favorite model from Protech. I have an attachment to this model- I've carried TR-3's for quite some time, have a small collection of them and a TR-3 was the first automatic knife I ever purchased back in 2008. This special edition comes from the Gathering, an annual get together from the USN forum. I am not a part of USN but I liked the color scheme so I picked up serial number 1 of only 10 pieces made.
Here are my three Chinese made OTF autos.

The Combat Troodon is a precision made, out-the-front tactical knife. It is 25% larger than the flagship, the Troodon. It brings the slender handle, contoured shape, radical design elements, and a sophisticated internal mechanism which improves operational functionality and reliability to a larger scale. The Combat Troodon is designed for a broad spectrum of utility and close quarter combat applications.
