Recommendations for automatic knives

[SaltwaterSlick]

I've been doing some research on these automatic knives that we can now carry. I'd like to get one primarily for hunting/field dressing/skinning game. I've been looking at a Benchmade 8600 plain blade (no serrations). I know zippo about high end knives really, especially tactical ones.

Anyone have any experience with this knife or automatics in general that they could give me recommendations?

You have a good one. Kershaw and Ken Onion make some good ones are well made and open really quick.

You guys have any dealings with Beckwith's Blades in Houston? Thinking about going over there for a look see... They are a Benchmade dealer.

Go to Huffman hardware. They have a good selection of Benchmade automatics.
