BM5000SBK: 5000SBK Presidio AUTO
Benchmade

Single-hand ambidextrous, auto open function. It's an unbeatable combination of the Benchmade automatic and patented AXIS mechanisms. Positive blade release is achieved with either hand by drawing the AXIS thumb-button back and firing the blade open. To close, simply draw the button back and fold the blade closed. A simple integrated safety is easily actuated to lock the blade open or closed. Secure grip is had with a unique two-directional tread machined into the aluminum handle scales. Movable steel carry-clip clips in for action. Your world demands performance at a moment’s notice, and the 5000 delivers full on!

Pros: Lock Type, Pocket Clip, Lock Ease of Use, Blade Sharpness, Blade Material, Handle Material, Handle Feel, Ease of Opening, Overall Quality
Cons: None
My EDC/GoTo choice
This was my first auto knife. I chose it based primarily by feel and reputation when NH legalized all knives back in 2010. In the year plus since then I have purchased several other autos but this is my 'carry and use it every day' choice. The blade is no longer "pretty" as it gets used for whatever needs to be done whether it be cutting wire wire reinforced exhaust hose off the boat manifolds or clearing an accumulation of weeds out of the corn chopper. It has done every task and resharpens surprisingly easily. I love the axis lock/release, quick and easy to deploy or close and it shows no signs of loosening up despite hard use. I'd like to say that I purchased it from Knife Center but they will only sell to military and police while I am just a firefighter. My understanding is that fed. law will allow me to purchase but company policy is otherwise. Fortunately some of our better gun shops carry quality autos now, so I will be able to replace this if I manage to wear it out.

Great Knife!
This knife is by far the best knife I've ever owned. It sharpens easily and holds an edge really well. The auto axis series does wonders with not wearing out your thumb trying to open it. Anyone who uses a blade often really should own one of these. Great knife, would recommend to anyone!

GREAT KNIFE!!!!
This is easily the greatest knife that I've ever owned!!!!! I now own 3 of these. I have one that I carry and one that I can rotate to Benchmade for their LifeSharp service when it needs it. I have owned Striders, I currently own several Sebenzas and a Hinderer XM18, this is the knife that I always go to!!! This is the greatest duty knife that I've ever owned!!
