Best Folding Knife Action You've Ever Felt

Camillus "Hustle"! I have ZTs and Kershaws and the "Hustle" is by far the smoothest, slickest opener I have. You can "pop" your wrist just right and the blade flies open!

probably the fastest and easiest manual opening i own, really smooth and nice "clack" sound i also like my utilitac :thumbup:
 
My sog spec elite 1 is the smoothest folder I have ever seen. The action is like melted butter, it is even smoother than any of my benchmades with axis locks, it's smoother than my rat 1, smoother than any of my spydercos, I am not even I huge sog fan, but this knife has the action that I judge all other actions by.
 
Don't know if this counts but the new Paragon Warlock probably has the neatest and best actions I have ever used with a knife
 
Fastest Action ZT0450 flipper

Most Satisfaction open and closing Viper Kyomi Vox design, the closing click is just awesome.

My small Sabanza is the most disappointing for the price. Maybe is just is too new, but hard to open, and very slow action.
 
The best I can remember handling is the CRKT Ken Onion Ripple in stainless scales. It was downright addictive to flip open. I passed on it because I was looking for something larger at the time. I still think of it often though. In a weak moment, I'll probably get one.
 
I've had more than a few knives in my day, and I have to say that this XM-18 is a whole new level of smooth. Fits like a glove, and built like a tank. I don't think I'll be carrying anything else for quite a while!

I can't believe it took someone so long to mention it! My Odino was the first thing that came to mind. Mine flicks open like like lighting. Buttery smooth lightning.

My XM came to mind as well. Very smooth knives.
 
For me, the ZT0452CF, it fire out with great force and drama, I've seem people around me physically recoiled when I deployed the blade :-0, follow by ZT0562CF (similar action, just a tad slower due to the heavier blade). My ZT0392BRGLD don't deploy as hard, but I just love the way it fall back into the handle and seem to slow down at the last few millimeters like it's on hydraulic, sooo smooooth.

Special mention to the paramilitary 2, for been able to be flicked open over a dozen different ways!
