Fidget King?

It may not be the "King" but I find myself drawn to fidget playing with Buck's Marksman model 830. There is just something about the action and unique locking system that is addicting.
 
Most smooth axis locks or most anything with a button lock. I love a good frame lock, back lock, or liner lock as much as the next guy but in terms of ease of use and figitability (if that is a word) you cant really beat opening and closing your knife without shifting your grip on the knife at all.

Second would be compression lock knives but some of those can take some finger ju jitsu to get right and doing so with your non dominant hand can be hit or miss.
 
I once bought a balisong 20 years ago to try the fidget factor. Nope. Not for me.

A regular folder? Also not for me.

The closest I get to fidgeting is when a blade doesn't open smoothly or some lock stick. I clean and lube the pivot and tinker with the pivot screw. Afterward, I do practice opening and closing while I watch tv.

For those that fidget, fidget on my friends.

Benchmade or anything with an axis lock. I open and close it a good 10,000 times a day, making sure to slam it against the stop pin. I plan on posting on BF when I break the omega spring and bitch about Benchmade's QC.

I have never hear someone with a Slysz Bowie call something else expensive lol. The bowie is a beatiful knife but my favorite all time folder is the damn Chef. I have it at 12 dps and it cuts like no other knife I own. Not to mention it wont rust. Even taken it in salt water swimming with 0 issues.
