Thanks for your insight since I was on the fence between the manual and the auto.I had both for about a year and recently sold the auto and kept the manual. I got the auto first and it kicks like a pissed off mule. It would be more manageable if the clip was tip up so you have a place for better grip. Everything else about the knife was amazing so I got a manual. The pivot rides on bearing on both models so it's smooth as butter. I can't carry autos in my state so I never carried the auto (another reason I sold it) but I did edc the manual for a few weeks and while it is a big knife, it wasn't any more noticeable than my bugouts when in my pocket. It is an intimidating knife so I rarely pulled it out around people. I still have it in my edc rotation with a bugout, bailout m4 and 940-2. I'd highly recommend it to anyone even thinking about getting one. I think the manual is a much better knife.
Ended up ordering a manual so your post has confirmed I’ve made a good decision.
