Closing Friendly Fidget Knives

At first I thought you were referring to Adderall 20 mg and I was going to say I’ve tried that.

The adderral helps contribute to the constant fidgeting. (At least it does for me).

I like the Manixes in this regard, and the CBBL. My fidget knife is a Manix 2 XL I modified to suit me preferences (pointier tip, thinner grind, no choil, full length cutting edge, more neutral handle).

Did you modify the lock? The lock spring on my Manix 2 is far too stiff to be fidgetable. Spyderco said it was working as intended.

Button locks, compression locks, axis style locks, and double action OTFs.

Ad-20 of course

If the AD20 lock works the same as my AD20.5's, it is very good at not bouncing open because the spring actually pulls it closed. You actually need to open the blade pretty far to overcome the spring; if you don't flick far/hard enough, the blade will snap shut.

Wouldn't removing the choil on a Manix require a new blade? Or did you mean you removed the nub?

I did this in my little workshop:

Malibu or Mordax would be my vote.

Thank you to all who posted. Currently I’m looking to get the Kizer Cormorant V2 when it becomes more available. I saw they were available on a well known site for one day and the ones they received were sold out.

I fidget with my knives opening and closing them over and over with one hand while I sit at my computer. (Even I think I’m weird!) All the knives I’ve tried use the locking mechanism to some extent to help hold the blade closed. The problem is this detracts from closing the blade because I’m usually still disengaging the lock when the blade closes and it bounces back out. So I have to slow down and think about it. Are there any good fidget friendly (generally rules out back, frame and liner locks) flippers that catch the blade well when closing? … A nice sound when locking open and closed really adds to the aesthetics and multiple methods of opening is a huge plus!

SOG Seal XR opens and closes in about two seconds.

There are replacement springs, and other neat parts available; but I "adjusted" the spring tension in my LW, by shoving a metal rod in it to lock it back in a fully compressed position. It took about a week: but it's much more reasonable now!
