New 9400 Osborne Auto Looks Great!

I love it. The only knife I ever bought duplicates of is the APB 6800, I think its 6800 anyways. I have a few axis autos and they're to fumbly for me. This might be my first BM purchase in years. Would've preferred 154cm to s30v, but its a small nitpick. Just about any steel is ok by me.
 
Personally, I hate the Axis Auto! I have three of them and never carry them.

I much prefer the push button. It is a defined push and release.

*personal preference* (if you like the Axis versions, great. I am not starting a debate.)
I carried a manual Triage for about 3 years and it never got rotated out of my pocket for ANYTHING else. It was just "right" for me in every way. I broke down a year ago and bought the 9170 auto...I love it in use but I don't like the blade shape as much as the original which I had hand filed the tip to be an Osbornesk reverse tanto. I do find the hook useful, but that's just me...
