How well made are the otf knives

Daniel E.3/12/2023

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. The ones on BudK are all junk with the, out of place, exception of their Benchmade line-up which are some of the best OTF's and range from $250-$450(add, at the bare minimum, another $50+ for taxes and shipping). Personally, I think, with all the mechanics involved in an OTF, it's not worth the price tag because the more "mechanisms" you put in a knife, the less reliable it becomes, which is why a fixed blade will always be more reliable than a folder or an automatic of equal quality. Especially since I'm not a mercenary or an assassin. OTF's are definitely cool tho. So, as with any knife, if it's for show, buy cheap. If it's for survival, dip into your savings![Most reliable down to least reliable](https://www.sitejabber.com/img/url_answers/161601/thumbnail_683_normal.jpg =x130)From top down, these knives are in order of reliability.
