Favorite blade sound.... framelock....auto...kydex?

[Walking Man]

There are a look cool knife sounds..... Part of the fun of owning a knife.
I think my favorite is the Chu-chunck or an assisted framelock being flung open. My Dominator makes a nice solid loud sound that you just can't get with a lockback. Maybe a thick linerlock would do it too. What about the snap of kydex when you remove or replace it in it's sheath... Is that anyone's favorite....
What about the thunk of a throwing knife when you hit a piece of wood JUST right.........
So,.... what's you're favorite?
Oh.... and my least favorite has to the be the sound of a knife dropping tip first on a hard floor. Or even a soft floor, like wood or lineoleum.... because you just trashed the floor.

Framelock.

My SMF and Skirmish sound especially sexy.

Some liner locks too, like my SERE 2000.

 

[Eric H]

My Spydie Chinook I (which is a lockback) makes a nice loud and crisp snap when it locks into place--louder and crisper than any frame or liner lock I've owned.

 

[Planterz]

Nothing sounds better than a leaf-sprung switchblade.

 

[T.K.C.]

My favorite sound is the sound of my Small Sebbie's thwack when it is locked open.

 

[Siggyhk]

I've gotta go with my old cs kobum (kydex). I also like the gental click of an axis lock too though.

Swing guard switchblade.......

 

[denn]

The locking of my Chinook2

 

[Daniel Moore]

My three favorite:

1) Benchmade Axis flicking open
2) Any blade on a Victorinox snapping open/shut.
3) The sound of a fixed blade being yanked out of kydex.

 

[cockroachfarm]

The sound of a well built slipjoint snapping shut!

 

[gordonk]

My Camillus Heat when it snaps open or my SERE 2K when it opens. Both have this very solid sound. I also like that "click" when a Spydie lockback opens - it's a very positive sound. Give you that "solid quality" feeling Both my mini-grips are quite quiet on opening, but the sound of an Axis lock when it locks in the blade also imparts a very secure feeling

I also like the sounds of the Chinook II. Another good one is the BM140 comming out of a Kydex sheath and Axis of the BM 710.

 

[RedEdge77]

El vaquero and chinookII:thumbup:

 

[IUKE12]

My Military has a nice ring to it.

 

[Lanza]

Hossom Retribution II has a destinct clunk when it locks ups.

 

[SpyderJon]

Let's see, I like:

1. Fixed blades sliding out of kydex

2. The sound the liner makes on my GB when it opens

and

3. The sweet sound of a flipper framelock opening (especially, RJ Martin flippers)

Ahh...good times!!!

 

[C Ben Susrool]

I agree with you on the Dominator.:thumbup:
My custom frame lock Pardue sounds good too, a little quieter, but solid and sure sounding.

 

[jvan]

The sound of a cold fresh apple being cut for my grand daughter.

 

[dino dogg]

come on ,the sound of a microtech utx 70/ultratech/makora/scarab in out in out.

 

[shecky]

The large lockback Okapi makes a pretty distinctive ratcheting sound upon opening or closing.
