Here is my Hogue X-5. Smooth and satisfying action.
The sound is mesmerizing as well.

Never been much a flipper guy. I like thumb stud openers for modern knives. The Benchmade axis lock is probably the most entertaining for me but it feels a little sloppy sometimes.

While it's not really a "fidget knife"?I love my Sebenza for the fluidity of the action. So, I'd probably say that's my current favorite.

Old recording. I love the extremely authoritative deployment and the controlled, buttery manual close. Press-shutting this one is oddly satisfying. I think the detent notch cut is a big part of it. There’s no sticking point once you disengage the lock, just very consistent resistance.

What is the name of that knife RBid? Very nice.

It’s an Olamic Wayfarer 247. Absolutely love it. I’m doing a One Knife November with it being my carry & user every day for the month.

I've been playing around with this Reate. I wouldn't say it's incredible, it flips really really nice, Locks up tight, and its gorgeous, feels slim in the pocket.

Not fond of the pocket clip, and if the blade was a touch thinner it would be right up there with CRK IMHO.

Santa got me a benchmade pardue, and spyderco chaparral.

I really enjoy the loud “thwack” of the spyderco millie’s lock engaging. I have an older s30v model that I took the clip off of and sometimes open and close it while watching tv. It and the svord peasant are the only knives that I’ve “fidgeted” with. I’m not a flicker either. Just open an close, open and close...

I could flip a ZT 0452 all day....and also the similar 0462. Both have a perfect detent action, and big blades that are perfectly balanced and will fall shut! Love my ZTs

Benchmades are good too, but not in the same league as ZT imo...some are butter-smooth and others, like the M390 version I got in the mail today, are not very smooth at all even after trying to break it in.
