In auto openers I am more comfortable with scale locks since there are no buttons or switches.I collect switchblades, as well as just about any other sort of knife, and don't recommend them for defensive use since finding that little button might be a challenge in a rush.
But the folder I carry most often as a defensive tool is an old one from Robert Terzoula.
Is it "the Best"? Not likely but it is one I'm familiar with and have trained with. I'd rather have a Gränsfors hatchet though.
