I love the dominator, it makes a really nice "THWACK!" noise. I'm not sure I'd like it as much otherwise. Nothing satifies like a "THWACK!" My BM darkstar and military seem to thwack pretty well, and as I recall, so did my chinook. It seems that the bigger knives, with thicker liners, or with more springy locks make a better thwack..... The axis locks don't seem to do this too well though.
So, what's your favorite thwack?
 
Cold Steel Vaquero Grande, hands down.

But as far as smaller folders are concerned, I agree with Torz - the Microbar does snap open with authority (on my m/a Kestrel and m/a Vector).
 
I love how certain customs DON'T clack, they slide into place, ::click:: in and locked. I love how the CUDA MAXX and Camillus Heat slam into place, as well as a gently flipped in CRKT M16
 
My Manix makes a very satisfying thwack, but I also don't have a lot of other big folders to compare it to....yet
 
I'm partial to the double-click thwack of a leaf sprung auto. Everybody should have a MT LCC to play around with, if only for that sound. :cool:
 
Two:
KaBar Dozier, like the 4064. Very solid.
Scott Cook Lochsa, no pussyfooting around, open, then closed.
 
Extreme ratio folders, they sound like a hatch being slammed shut on a submarine. Not that I know what that sounds like.
 
My Piranha Bodyguard. Just the quiet click of the button, then the loud snap as the blade locks in.
 
Just love the sound of my MSC Nightmare Recurve CB SMF... KLOCK!

same "kindda" (but i am not as rich as Revierler :yawn: ) my Buck Strider 882 does a nice THWACK also...
 
buck juno for small folders. Vaquero grande/El Vaquero for large folder hands down as quiet storm said
 
If you all don't stop thwacking like that you're going to go blind! And grow hair on your palms. Wait a minute, isn't this the general forum!? Have some decency guys, don't be thwacking in public! Take it to Whine and Cheese. Man, the nerve of some people. :mad:
