The only decent OTF is a G&G Hawk Model C Deadlock.Who makes a decent auto knife?
Heretic, microtech, benchmade are all good places to start. Figure about $200 to start for a good one. You can find lesser but still nice ones for about $100 and for the upper end, the sky is the limit.

Makes zero sense to legalize switch blades right after legit banning most semi automatics in state. C'mon MA throw a nigga a bone. Legalize carrying ASP batons.

This right here. In fact, I'm actually shocked Mass doesn't have a blade limit yet. Unfortunately I'm sure they're already working on itThey will come out with a maximum length that is legal to carry for autos, probably follow in CA footsteps and go 2" is my best guess.
Wait til you get good with a spiderco- I’m just as fast. Their blades have been the best for me.I have some switch blades. However, I have never been a fan of OTF style knives. I have also found that flip blade knifes are faster than the spring-loaded or traditional switch knifes. I am a fan of Pro-tec.

The swing spring is always an issue. You have to be aware that you are using a switch because that spring can jump the knife out of your hand if you don't have a good grip. That is why I like flip blades no spring and very fast.I think about "accidental engagement in my pants." A standard SB, with a tip-down belt clip will open and just be annoying ot try and get out of your pants. An OTF, with sufficient spring pressure, could tear a hole in your pants pocket. ROFL!!!
I do like the fact that an OTF doesn't ahve that swing momentum when fired.
Higher end OTFs are very difficult to fire in your pocket from normal carry and work activities.I think about "accidental engagement in my pants."
