Fastest opening knife?

[slight]

My fastest knives are the benchmade 530 and waved endura. tho the delica would probably be faster. I say the spyderco waved knives only bc the only emerson i think is designed well is the p-sark.

the Benchmade 615-2 assisted mini-rukus has a wicked kick to it

I've got a few IKBS knives that take smoothness to a whole other level altogether. The Kershaw RAM is right up there too.

What are the makes of the IKBS?

My fastest (currently) for A/O is Kershaw Whirlwind
My fastest manual is a tie between ZT 0200 and BM 710

I read a thread recently where it looks like a lot of people like the Benchmade 580.

For out of pocket, fastest I have owned is my CS Spartan, with its thumbplate wave. For fastest in hand, my CRKT Eros hands down, that IKBS is ridiculously fast, even faster than my Leek IMO.

I didn't know those were so fast. I thought just silky smooth. Wish I could see an IKBS in my area.

The Pirahna Bodyguard has to be one of the top ten quickest openers.

Basically, replaces the spacers with ball bearings. Potentially less good in dirty environments, but still very fast. I had this idea independently a while back, and was happy to see that, like most good ideas, someone had already had it, and had it in production. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Ontario rat 1 is my fastest one.

My humble little Kershaw Random Leek S30V framelock with a/o. The thing is like lightning!
