| Perfectly sized for either every day carry or even tactical use, the BM 2550 is a superb auto. I really can't level many criticisms at the 2550. Yes sharp jimping on the top would be nice. But it's perfectly sized and shaped 154CM blade, tight lockup, well-executed safety, strong clip, and outstanding fit and finish are tops. Other upsides: fast deployment, actuation button well-located, full flat ground drop point 154CM blade, fine tip for piercing and detail work, strong clip, super tight lockup (sometimes rare for an auto knife), reasonable price (around $125 for this one), and an amazing 2.9 ounce carry weight. If you're a police officer, it's the ideal auto knife. I still think a well-balanced and executed manual folder can be just as fast and useful. But if you're wondering what should be your first auto knife with the most capability (EDC or otherwise) this might be it. It's one of my favorites and it is a "Hall of Famer" in The Nutnfancy Project./////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9.5 out of 10 (will traction topside, it's a ten) |
