  1. Yeah, “Made in the USA”. My issue with an “automatic opening” knife blade is its innards that is, when the button is pushed some mechanical device is activated to propel the blade. The device is usually a “spring” of some design. Springs do break. Then what? The “Vero” blade has a cut-out on the blade to open it. The “Spartan” does not. I reckon if “Pro-Tech” has a lifetime warranty, . . . Hmmm-mm, then send it back.
    What I saw in the video were both knives being used to cut cardboard, box tape and bubble-wrap. Hmmm-mm, “MagnaCut and MagnaMax” blades handle that efficiently. I would think that a utility knife with any type of steel blade would work as well in these tasks. Where did I put my “Stanley 199”?
    NOTE: I gave my brother a “Kershaw Launch 13″**. He had a major stroke about eight years ago and does not have the use of his right arm which was his dominant hand. He is adept with his southpaw side. He has the mobility with his walker to hunt mushrooms like he always has done and he uses the “Launch” to slice them up and fry them with eggs and potatoes. His wife of forty-eight years peels the potatoes . . . (**I bought this knife at a pawnshop, “NIB”)
