Fastest Folder in Your Collection

[TheGame]

All of my AO Kershaws seem to open about the same.

My fastest knives in my collection are my camilus heat...then my RAT model 1 folder...then my CRKT M1. My paramilitary isn't as fast but is definately the smoothest with the tightest lock up. I am happy to sacrafice the speed for the smoother opening and better fit an finish...

kershaw RAM, BM mini grip, BM nitrous stryker to name a few of mine

The fastest in my collection is the RAM 1910. It is faster than all my AO's and quite a few automatics I have seen.

Wow, I can't believe that not everyone on here is listing a Benchmade Mini Grip. I have 4 different flavors (556MDP/550HG/555SBTOD/557SBK)... the 556 mdp opens & closes so quick it's like magic.

I have a Kershaw Chive that really flings open quickly too.

For non-auto & non-assisted, I'd have to say the Spyderco P'Kal. You just draw out of your pocket & it's open. Other than that, I'd say a good flipper, A/O, or auto is going to be pretty darn fast.

For flippers, I've found the Kershaw RAM to be great, a broken in Groove isn't bad, either. I also thought the DDR Maxx Q1A was pretty quick & smooth, too.

For A/O, just about anything Kershaw makes works well. Having said that, I have a B/M Nitrous mini-Stryker that's definitely the equal of my Kershaw Random Leek.

For manual openers, both of the custom folders that I own are darn smooth & quick. They're a Bauchop Shaman & a Jim Matthes tanto folder. Great knives.

Ram..

For me it's my kershaw composite shallot with zdp189 edge. It's thinner than the s110v shallot and it ao-opens faster. My ZT301 is also fast but slower than the shallots.

Perhaps we should all compare 'fastest with flick of wrist' and 'fastest without flick or wrist' cause if I flick my wrist as hard as I can impractically manage then even my m16 CRKT is faster.

Kershaw RAM

Faster than even my AOs.

 

[stitchawl]

Benchmade 710 axis lock. Faster and locks up stronger than any other in my collection. Including autos!

Emerson Waved CQCs (7 & 12).... No thumbwork required ;-)

Don't have an Emerson (yet) so would have to say CS Ti-Lite. Like the Emerson Wave's, it opens on the "draw" form pocket. Faster than any flipper or auto.

Kershaw RAM...faster than any AO's I've owned.

+1 :thumbup:

 

[dtownknifekid]

Kershaw mini-cyclone for AO and benchmade minigrip for manual oppening.

 

[mmmotorcycle]

ZT 0500 MUDD folder. Opens like an Emerson.....perfection followed by the hard click of lock up.

 

[JatMat]

This is a custom lever release and lock made with Aircraft Aluminum handles and D2 steel. Made by WT Fuller in the 70's, it is still faster, locks up faster than any knife I have ever handled. This one was WT's personal knife until he made one more auto. He never sold any of his autos that I know of. I was a friend and he allowed me to get his.
