I'm with RX and others I like the reg axis best close with one hand.

thats the reason the manual gets my vote, the spring on an auto/assisted makes it tough to close 1 handed.

Manual for me, I can't count the times flipping the knife closed has been a real asset. flip open, cut, flip closed, back in pocket.

Manual for me. Closest thing I have to an auto is the 580, which can't be closed one-handed, well, maybe on the pants leg...I much prefer flipping my knives closed.
