I gotta admit- I love me a quality OTF. There’s something about the staccato twang of an auto that’s at the same time romantic and intimidating, conjuring images of 50′s vagrants snapping their fingers and dancing in step. However, this is not one of those knives. Instead the Microtech Scarab is a knife that for me is straight out of James Bond, especially this Navy Seal edition knife. Made with exotic materials, exceptional craftsmanship and heaping helpings of WIN, this special edition Scarab not only looks the part, but it preforms too.

But it does have several significant downsides you need to be made aware of like: possibly a weak liner lock, NO blade …
The Benchmade Mini Barrage 585 is a great EDC choice. I love the assisted opening Axis lock mechanism. It’s fast, strong, durable, and locks up securely with no movement. The Zytel handle offers unimpressive traction but shows interesting styling. I would much prefer a high traction G10 or Micarta scaled version of these knives, especially since the Model 585 hovers around the price point. However, even as is, the handle ergos are good and the 585 places well in hand in either forward or …
