Favorite “fidget” knife?

[AlphaDog86]

I think that I never really got into the whole fidget spinner craze because I’ve always had knives. I probably shouldn’t be playing with sharp objects but if you’re like me what is your favorite “fidget” knife?

 

[blades&wrenches]

My BBS Para 3 would probably be mine. Several different ways to open, a free swinging blade with the lock depressed, and a silky smooth action make it pretty fun to fidget with.

Hmm, tough one to answer, maybe ...

I bought a Gerber Paul knife back in the 1970's for big bucks (at the time). It was one of the first one-handed opening knives and it was amazing engineering that produced lots of fidgeting by the geeky engineers and other techy folks of that era. Guys would sit around doing nothing but absently minded opening and closing their Paul knife. It was addictive I can tell you.

This was a predecessor to Spyderco's one handed opening knives. We will have the ask the Glesser gang about that.

If you have never heard of this, here is a cool video.

Olamic busker?

This definitely be one of mine. It's small enough to be fiddly and works well for both side-of-the-thumb and middle finger flicking. It's so well made and smooth that it's surprisingly pleasurable to screw around with.

I mostly carry Chris Reeves and Hinderers any more. I fidget with the Hinderers quite a bit.

When I recently started looking into folding knives, I discovered and fell in love with flippers. I wanted a dedicated “armchair flipper” that wouldn’t bust me, so I got a Kershaw Nura. I know time, all the pix in this forum and temptation will result in my upgrading my tastes but in the meantime, I’m happy with my >$20 wonder.

Spyderco Domino. Very satisfying, and a great cutter.

Mine would be my RAT-1. It's the smoothest opening knife I own, mainly because of how much I use it.

Oh sorry. It’s a tie between my plain Jane Sebenza 21 (now silky smooth) and PM2.

This is one, a gift from a member here on BF to replace I used to have. I’m always playin’ with this one. Opening and closing one handed.

Modern, Smock SK23,(hope the Spyderco version is at least close to as good). Domino pretty good too.
Traditional, either GEC #15 all steel, perfect walk and talk, great sound or #35 2016 forum knife, super smooth, well balanced for “spinning” while closed in hand.

Mine keeps changing. For a while it was the Nura, then the Ripple, then Crossbones, now it's the G5 Metamorph. Next???? Crazy, wonderful addiction/hobby.

I was "fidgeting" with my Finn Wolf this morning and I dropped it onto my leg. In return I received a small cut and a nick in the scales.

Your LEG put a nick in the scales? Are you a pirate?
