Ok guys, I have decided to get a BM automatic knife. Now, which one is the huge question. I want a really good blade, one that holds a really good edge is more important than corrosion because it will be a pocket knife (both would be great though). Great quality handle and one that is perfect size for a pocket knife, nothing to big. Suggestions please. Thanks

Welcome! A vote for the 5500 Presidio, not too big and a great knife.

The 5500 might be your best bet. I'd get one.

AFO is the bomb but IMO a bit large for every day pocket carry. Although I guess it depends on what type of work you do..
