I used to think autos were cool. I hated having to use a second hand to open a knife when I was deep in something that I was trying to fix/modify/whatever. They were just illegal to own, so I never really got into them. Then the thumb-stud concept started becoming popular, and I am a very happy camper. So now, instead of seeing automatics as a scenario-useful tool that I can't own, I just see them as an interesting technological curiousity.
It would be somewhat tough to come up with a scenario where a thumb-stud knife would not be as useful as an automatic. Not impossible, of course.
(im2smrt4u is probably cursing at me for being a Philistine with no appreciation of a fine blade again)
