Flickety-Flick...

[Bob Denman]

Hi Guys!
So which of your knives provides the most "fidgety-fun"?
For me: It's my Mini-Bugout. I am all thumbs. Even 7 toes and 1 ear have applied for "Thumbhood"; yet this little gem just flicks open and drops shut effortlessly.
I can cycle it about three times faster than any of my other knives.
So what's your favorite?

I'm not surprised to hear this. I don't own a Mini-Bugout, but I would think they are as flicky as it gets.

All the axis lock knives are fun to play with , but I have been know to drive my wife crazy with D/A OTF knives.

What are you waiting for? They're a GREAT little EDC knife!

I have one Benchmade knife. One time, while trying to be Mr Flicky-Flick, I dropped it, and it went point down a quarter inch into the kitchen linoleum. You could hear a distinct "boing" sound, just like in Saturday morning cartoons (don't judge me). Another time, I flicky-flicked myself in the index finger. The bleeding didn't stop for two days.

I think I'll leave the flicking to you, Bob.

If you like knives: bleeding is a part of the game.
While serving my "Collegiate Sentence": I put a Buck 110 right into the top of my kneecap. I tossed it into the air, and missed my hand: but not my leg...

My Axis knives do it for me. My Ray Laconico Keen is pretty satisfying, for a frame lock.

The Bugout isn't bad but the Spyderco Smock is tough to beat. Thumb hole plus flipper and the button compression lock....crazy combo.

 

[Bob Denman]

The Smock... I'll check that one out...

They aren’t toys. They are tools. I don’t use tools for fidget spinner’s. In fact I don’t fidget at all. I have inner peace. Lol.

Every time I see someone flick one of those, I feel like I'm in a kung-fu movie. How do they work?

 

[Dergyll]

Why you asking me? I just pose with it and pretend I'm in a movie...shhhhh dont tell anyone.

 

[Bob Denman]

Damn... they do look purty!
I'll bet they even make you look younger, and taller too!

My "Inner Peace" likes to fidget...
My "Outer Peace" likes flickety-flicking a knife with a good action!

You got a Shiro yet? LOL

Smock has been mentioned, that's a great one. I also love thumbholes for flicking and reverse flicking. Most civivis are super fun to fidget with, that includes flippers, front flippers, studs and thumbholes.
I'll put my AD-15 scorpion lock on the list too as once you get good at it, it's incredibly fun to manipulate. Compression locks too!

Demko shark lock!

SOG Seal XR, because you can flip it, pull back the oversized lock tabs and the big blade will go from lock up to closed in about two seconds, without much hand movement involved. A big plus is SOG has improved it so much over other folders I've had from them. It's really a solid folder. USA Made, too.

XR LOCK​

Reliable and powerful, able to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, provides the ultimate built-in blade locking security when open and ensures it only opens when intended.

 

[K.O.D.]

ZT 0470 trump's all.
Civivi mckenna after that.

For non flippers, probably my PM3 LW.
