That was the one that I carry around. I've got tons of other knives...Hunting Knives, Pocketknives, and some homemade ones from a family member.
I don't have a machete....yet.....

Spring assist flip open same difference in that you still manually open the blade with your thumb you just have a some form of spring to make it easier.
The automatics("switch blades") are the kind where you press a button and the blade extends on its own.Those are actually legal in Florida I am not a fan of them my self.
This is the kind of spring assist that some of my knives have.
I bet the TSA hates this kind. I almost always have this knife in clipped in my pocket.It is so thin i forget that it is even there once I walked into a bank with it still clipped in.No one noticed it though.
The spring in this type the pressure is on the blade wile it is closed and a tang moves when you push on the thumb grabs it self locks as well.But that is an expensive knife but worth it made in the USA from American steel and a life time warranty ship it to Washington and they will fix it up no charge.
Really though a fixed blade knife is the best to have especially for cleaning game.
This particular knife is designed with conceal carry in mind you could hide it easily if you wanted to.
