how exactly does the locking mechanism work? is it just the metal pin that goes between the blade when you open it? i am kinda leaning towards AXIS. but have never handled the AXIS. the only benchmade knife i will have is the mini infidel bk in about 2 weeks!

Read the review link that I posted and you'll see that the United States Army has put it through some severe tests and it passed
if that review doesn't sell ya nothing will "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber." |

I'd also direct you to look at the 6150 Auto Mini-Rukus. It was my first Benchmade auto and I'm a real fan of it. (Axis-lock)It fires hard, it's got a great lock and a substantial blade. It's also got a low-slung clip (3/16" sticks out of your pocket), so I EDC it more often than any of my other autos.
That being said, I don't have an AFO II, so I can't compare the two. -----=====-----=====-----=====----- KnifeRights Member |

I've never taken one apart. Never had one break either. They've got the button open, the axis and the OTF Infidel series. I've got 2 Axis openers and 4 button-type. 9050, 9500, 3350 x2. The Axis I have are some HK and the 6150. Don't think there's anything wrong with the button types, but I really can't speak highly enough of the Axis.

there are some tank autos out the like others have said
I cannot decide between the 5000 or AFO? The 6150 is sweet but it isnt like the AFO or 5000 Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | Member #3 |

here's some pics.
 the afo is my long time favorite, and the auto-axis is a very close second. click on the pics to enlarge. 9050 and 5000:  and to see how they work... the guts of my 9000sbt:  the guts of my 5000:  _______________ - Jesse. The 520 needs an M4 blade. |
