im spoiled, in AZ we can have autos so i have the 9100 auto. i dont know if it comes in a manual or not. if so i would recomend it, mine has done me great so far, although i carried a few onion vapors and at around 20$ they are still doing fine. have to sharpen every now and then but thats fine with me, something about a piece of metal and working that sucker with your hands, old school style-no v sharpener or angle guide. although i have to admit i llike the diamond stones more than the traditional whetstone.

If you can legally own a 3550, then go for that.

You can't go wrong with a Benchmade. I treated myself to a 5000SBK a while back. No regrets.
