Good looking knife! Thanks for posting. It appears that it is ambidextrous. Is it?

As I'm left handed like WildBill & SRO1911, I feel my choices are somewhat limited. And if it's ambi, then you have my attention!

It sure is. Controls are ambi, and clip can be attached to either side depending on preference. I have treated mine like the hard-use tool that it is for years, and it hasn't let me down once.

Thanks GlockShooter56.....I think. Looks like I'm gonna have to keep saving my pennies, nickels & dimes for that one. TODAY, I'm leaning towards that one.

Thank you everybody for your input & opinions. I appreciate it! All good comments.

This has helped considerably to eliminate several I was considering, while opening up a few styles that I previously had not considered.

If I had to do it again, I would go with the Turmoil. I just like the drop point blade better.

Oh, if I could only afford the Epidemic! The H&K Entourage is high on my list as well. Thanks for the response WildBill.

Title says it all. Wellllll....maybe I don't need one, I just want one.

I'm going to get an automatic knife, and have narrowed down the field to 4 different knife makers: Gerber; SOG, H&K(made by Benchmade btw), and Myerco.

I know there are better made knives out there, but I'm on a budget, and the one's I'm looking at are in the $105.00-$139.00 price range. I know what type of blade steel I'd like, but my question is, what kind of blade configuration would benefit me the most?...

Tanto; Spear Point, or Drop Point? Any recommendations there?

And does anyone have any experience with any of the 4 above mentioned knife makers in an auto knife configuration?

Today, I'm leaning toward the Myerco, more specifically a Meyerco Darrel Ralph Military X-Ray 18-3 AUTO:

Can't beat the price at $74.95, plus it's received some really good reviews.
