Well I got word today that I am getting a very good new job. Therefore, I am celebrating with a 3550 and and AFO II BK. My wife said why do you need two? I said, cause I am about to get paid and you are about to get paid, so I deserve it. She said, ok, I want to go shopping. haha

Good deal....treating yourself.

most excellent dude

Very nice. Do you like the auto for Military reasons or just cool factor? You should really look into getting a 6150. The axis auto is bad a$$. All in all the axis lock in manual form is the fastest one hand open AND one hand close out there bar none.

Definately for cool factor reasons. The AFO is just bad. $160 for the AFO II BK tanto. What ya guys think?

For cool factor get a 6150 or 5000. Just a little smaller then the AFO II but both are heavy duty bad a$$ users. Auto axis is the way to go IMHO. $160 seems high but if you look around you can find it cheeper. Try posting in the WTB section you might just get a hit on that.

Well the lowest I found it on the internet was $165. Where else could you get it cheaper?

In general, I do find the Rukus and Presidio to be a bit cooler than the AFO, but as autos, I'd definitely take the AFO. Just something about that plunger release and lock. So simple, so easy, such a pleasure. And having the spring resistance when closing for the axis autos is kind of disorienting (at least to me), so I tend not to like them as much.

For looks, I definitely like the tanto version of the AFO. For utility I'd personally almost always go for the more standard shape, but since this one is for cool factor, I think it'd be hard to beat a 9052BK.

Oh, and for prices, I think $165 sounds about right. I think I've seen a couple BM auto models (full size, not mini models like the 3550) as low as $150-ish, but I can't remember where (or which models).

if thats shipped price, its going to be VERY hard to beat...even then maybe by a buck or two.

Ok the order is being placed. When I get it I'll post some pictures if you guys tell me how.
