Just want to get a general idea of your favorite "flicking" knives are, or knives that you love to sit there and open and close over and over again.

Gotta be my Para 2. Can open it many different ways, but the "cigar flick" has got to be my favorite.
 
My ZT0560. I don't flick it though. Don't need to because it's so smooth. If anything I like to see how slow I can get it to open fully. Another great knife to mess around with is the Contego.
 
I have flicked flipped etc many many knives and so far the best BY FAR is a spyderco southard once the insides have been properly lubed.

I've played wwith lots of ZT flippers and while they are fun, not even close to that sweet little click of the southard.
 
Pretty much any axis lock is always fun to flip around.
My Ontario Utilitac II is so buttery smooth I can't sit it down.
My ZT 0350 just because it's almost the same sound as an M9 slide dropping.
 
Para 2 and Sage 1 for sure
Just got a 0566 and its fun to flick with the studs or flip out
 
CRKT M16 knives with autolawks are P4P, not only are they smooth as butter, the combined noise of the liner locking in place and the autolawks engaging is flippin' awesome..
 
Mini onslaught is by far the smoothest I own. It falls open and closed. The zt 0350 has a nice shwack when it opens too.
