What is the recognised... definition of 'flicking'
I always thought it was flicking the wrist to open a knife, rather than using a thumb stud/hole etc. On some blades you need to press a stud (Axis, CQD etc) to do this, I think a bolt action does this as well. My Gerber does anyhow.
However someone said they flicked open their Spyderco Delica. Now on a lockback this cannot be possible? Well? So is flicking ALSO when you use the thumb stud/hole to start the open and flick the wrist to help?
Thanks!
