Cool trick with Vaquero Grande

[RedEdge77]

Alright i discovered this while just messin around with the knife.

What you do is hold down the lock with your index finger and flick your wrist. The blade will glide into the open position and be locked.

Its a little hard to hold down the lock but once you get used to it its fun. Pretty cool trick i wanted to share.

So take that all you axis locks. lol

Been doing that with my Spydercos for a long time. REALLY wears out your fingers

Now you should invent some way to flip open liner locks and Axis folders... You could call it "flicking" or something like that.

lol back off torz . Oh btw maybe i will call it flicking! lol

Yea it really does kill the fingers so i stopped doing that and started doing "biker flips" with it

I can do this with my Voyager x2 without pressing down the lock. Just hold the knife and make a jerking motion with the hand and the blade pops right open. Like you said, it is fun!

I pop 'em open upside-down. It's faster and noisier.

I used to have a lanyard attached to my El Hombre. I'd start swinging it by the lanyard, give it a quick jerk to open it, then catch it by the handle. Surprisingly I never cut myself doing that..

Torz, you have a very well-developed sense of sarcasm.

The last cool trick I heard about with the Vaquero Grande was doing an inertial open while flinging it into the couch!

Edit:
Here it is from the "ficking without using the thumbhole"
