Hey guys,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the knife with the fastest, smoothest, easiest flipping action.
 
My first question would be your price point. And I agree with jday, ZTs are awesome flippers
 
ZTs best production flippers and great value. Todd Begg Bodega, smoothest/quickest action Ive ever handled.
 
Emerson rangemaster all the way. Second is the Freeman Outdoors flipper.

Reate: Horizon, Any Liong Mah Collab
ZT: ZT0801, ZT0562
Shirogorov: F95, F3
Andre Thorburn: Anything
Grimsmo Knives: Norseman
 
I can guarantee that I am going to be the only one to say this, but I most enjoy the flipping action/feel of a perfect Hinderer XM-18.

The absolute smoothest flipper I ever felt was a XM-24 Bowie. I've had ceramic MRBS knives that weren't as smooth. Faster, sure, but they didn't glide like oil on glass in zero gravity like that 24 does.

Agreed. I find the action on mine very satisfying, as well. Perfectly fluid, hydraulic movement with a perfect !click! on engagement.

I still think one of the most underrated and perfect flippers is/was the CRKT Foresight! Even compared to customs that thing is an amazing flipper.

Hard to beat the feel of IKBS, IMO, so I generally alternate between a Jason Clark and Andre Thorburn in that department (with Olamic being comparable).
 
Believe it or not, the Real Steel Sea Eagle is the smoothest, fastest flipper I have. Next best is ZT 0452 and Spydie Domino
 
I really like my Spyderco Domino and Hogue Ex02...both fire out with authority. My previous ZT801 was also great but I'm sending my current ZT801 back since it has a weak detent / sluggish flipping action.
 
ZT 450 & 452.
Brous VR-71.
Spydie Domino & Southard.
All are fast, smooth and tight!

There's a pretty good joke just itching to come out. But, I'm just going to leave it alone.
