Sooooo many fantastic flickers in the line up!
Domino and Southard are my faves because of many options......and both of mine are slippery, satiny, stupid smooooooth!
All 5 of my Para 2s, all 3 Manixes, all 3 Millies. My favorite flicker is my Yoji!! That bad boy opens with extreme AUTHORITAAAAY!!! Plus it is one nasty looking blade!!!

My favorite to flick open was my Sage 1. But I flicked it about a hundred times one day while watching a movie and it started grinding a bit. Threw some oil in the pivot and it was fine.
Now I flick my PM2 all damn day and it's awesome. I love playing with my PM2.
My favorite to flick though is my GB1. During open and close it sounds like a rifle cocking, lol. But my GB is also my worst one to flick because it's difficult to do. Many times I've just scraped a layer off my fingernail and the blade didn't budge. You know, that sharp edge on the hole and everything, haha.

Love the yojimbo for flicking, but honestly I like to middle finger flick my domino more than flipping it.

My favourites are the PM2 20CP, and Manix LW S110V. GB1, Nilakka and some of my Militaries are also great.

For middle finger flicking: PM2, Resilience, and Manix LW S110V
For thumb flicking: Yojimbo2, Navaja, and surprisingly the Myrtle (I just love that "ka-chunk" sound it makes when it flies open).
For flipping: Domino and Mamba (my Southard has got the crushed washer issue
)
Waving: Charlie Mike'd custom Tatanka and waved Matriarch
Spydie dropping: any of my Militaries
MOST favorite to open though....definitely my black on black Citadel :devilish:

PM2 is flicking fun!
Anyone been able flick (heck even open easily) a Lil Lion?
I have handled 3 different ones. They were new out of the box and not broken in, but seemed crazy stiff for a Spyderco to me. Anyone have any experience with a well broken in one?
