The gadget factor on auto's is very high. In shtf situations where I need to deploy a tool fast, the less I have to worry about the better. There are all kinds of threads here about fine motorskills and the way they diminish under stess. Finding the button or manipulating the scale is one more thing to worry about, and remember.
Cold or injured hands, stessful environment, I want simple.
I have never been convinced that Manual or even Assisted opening knives offer advantages at those times when something needs to be cut right now.
While I would prefer a fixed blade most of the time, my work and social activities necessitate a knife that bends at the waist. I don't want it to be so fancy that it malfunctions and I can't use it when I need it.
