HK Entourage |
Benchmade Griptilian |
Anyway, just few weeks ago, it happened again, and it cut me this time. I finally decided that I couldn't carry a knife that can just come open by itself like that, no matter how much I loved it. I've always been interested in spring-assisted & automatic knives, so that's the direction I decided to go with the search.
I was very close to getting a Kershaw Launch 2. All my friends carry Kershaw, it had good reviews on Amazon, and was a great looking pocket knife.

However, doing my search, I ran into HK branded knives, and while I had seen them before, it had totally escaped me that they existed....... but my go-to firearm happens to be Heckler & Koch USP!
HK Entourage, made also by Benchmade doesn't feel as nice as the Griptilian, especially the grip. Really chalky texture to it I'm not too fond of. I also wasn't all that impressed with it's opening/closing. With practice, you are just so much faster opening the blade with the manual/conventional opening Griptilian than this automatic Entourage. I was also able to flick the knife closed with just one hand, where I need two hands to close the Entourage.
I will say though, it is quite beautiful next to the HK USP.
