Favorite "fondling" knife?

[TheBoxisHere]

You're sitting there on your couch, waiting for whatever it is you're waiting for, so you take out your fondling knife. With a little flourish, the blade snaps open with a resounding *thwak*. You grin ever so slightly to yourself as you turn the blade in your hand, admiring it, until you eventually fold the blade back down. Rinse and repeat .

All knife enthusiasts know what I'm talkin' 'bout! I first heard the term from nutnfancy: the fondling knife. Too nice to use as a tactical/EDC blade, but it looks sexy and man is it fun! So what's your "fondling knife"?

A.G. Russell one hand Featherlite. Although that IS a user as well.

This guy gets the most fondle time. It happens to be perfect fit for the coin pocket, too, so it gets carried all the time.

GEC barlow (all steel )

At the moment... Spyderco Paramilitary 2.

When I take it out of the display case, Gerber Paul Knife.

In the future (when I am good enough) Benchmade 42

Probably the Kershaw OD-1. That mechanism is just so addicting!

for now... the Spyderco Gayle Bradley, an user, but basically because I just got it few days ago. Before that, a Kershaw Leek. there was a time where I got really addicted with Kershaw's assisted opening.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2.

[MasterPisaster]

Strider SMF. That massive blade locking up makes me grin every time

Is it wrong that my fondling knife is a fixed blade? The Spyderco Warrior is amazing to play with during commercial breaks. Until I need to covertly remove any sentries....playing with her will have to do.

My Microtech Socom Elite. It is also one of my EDC blades.

I have about 5 favorite favorite folders so I won't bore you buy listing them.

Kershaw JYD, Spyderco Gayle Bradley, or Ti Military.

Nothing like fiddleing with a medium, round bolster stockmam. Feels right in the hand, and is fun to spin on a flat surface.

Balisong #9. Haven't put it down since I made it.

Strangley, my favorite fondling knife and also my EDC is my ZT 550 with custom scales by The Preacher. It is an older model and when I sent it in for vertical play they replaced th ti side with the new deep carry ti side. Now it's the smoothest and most addicting knife I own. Smoother than my 560, smoother than my XM-18, Pm2, etc. Haven't tried any other new 550's so I'm not sure if that is the case for them all...

GEC #42 Missouri Trader. I find myself turning it around in the sunlight just to see the different ways the light hits the ebony. Also, being a lockback, its snap on opening is authoritative, but its spring spares my thumbnails.

Just got a Sanrenmu 763 so I guess that's my fondling knife for now.

[TedDeWitt]

Currently the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, and the Manix 2 FRCP Lightweight

[mosseri]

Has to be my Spyderco Navaja.
