assisted opening knives?

I have a few from all kinds of companies. The Benchmade gummed up, but its been through the wash, gutted elk/deer, been in the ocean etc... The Kershaw is probably the most dependable in my opinion. Cheap ta boot! The SOG faired okay, but i hate serrated edges so i use the Kershaw and Benchmade straight blades most.

My wife got me a Kershaw speedsafe for Christmas and I love it. I use it everyday for one thing of another and havent had to sharpin it yet.

Bought a Kershaw Ken Onion16710BLKST  about 6-7 years ago.  Pops open like the day I bought it. Lost it out shooting one day.  Drove the hour+ back out to find it, and did the next day.

Bought it at a shop at Northgate mall then saw it somewhere else $25 less but after all this time I don't mind.  The inlay in the handle is a no-slip tape stuff.  Can't tell it's 6-7 years old. Never leave home with out it.
