I'm looking the largest auto knife on the market. Not some 20 inch stiletto but a serious tactical knife. The local ERT time guys were asking me when they were in the shop today and I'm not up on the latest and greatest. Thanks

I also wouldn't be up on all the new autos available, but have found the Benchmade 9050 AFO series to be extremely tough, durable, solidly built, and is in use by many military, LE, and first responder applications.
It has a hefty overall length of 8.51", and is 4,95" closed. There are different blade styles available. AFO and AFO-II Models 9050, 9051, 9052 Benchmade 9050 Series Autos - LINK |

I bought a Benchmade 9052sbk (about 1/2 serrated blade) and it is one big, heavy, sturdy, well made knife. It's very sharp and has great "swing" because the blade is so thick and heavy. It locks up smoothly.
Expensive but worth it. I got mine from one of the discount places that advertises in the back of American Handgunner magazine for $169.00 plus shipping. |

i carry a benchmade 9100. great knife thats reliable and made of good steel. add benchmade support and its hard to beat. I also have this knife and absolutely love it, will never need another knife. I also carry a Benchmade auto, a 9100SBK AutoStryker; but if you're not active military or law enforcement; due to legal concerns regarding interstate shipment, Benchmade will not ship your knife back to you if you need service, and all autos eventually do. Unless you send it to them through a dealer you ain't gettin' it back. |

Robbie Dalton makes some huge autos and they tough ones in use... Yup. The only problem with Dalton is he only makes so many of each model and that is it. When they first hit the market, the price is very fair for the quality of the knife. Once he stops making a particular model, the value starts to rise pretty fast on the collectors market. Here is my Dalton Militia Cupid on top of my Glock 17 for size comparison. Out the front, double edged, razor sharp and opens like it is rocket powered.

Where can I find one of those dalton Cupids? It is a Dalton Militia Cupid. There is a Dalton Cupid but it is considerably smaller. As I posted, Dalton only makes so many of each model and stops. The Cupids have been out of production for a few years now. You will have to keep your eyes open on the auction sites, gunbroker, sharperdeal, etc. As I also posted, the collectors market for them has caused the price to rise pretty quick. Last one I saw went at auction for close to 600 if I remember correctly.
