Most satisfying knife to open

Most satisfying? That's tough. The Shaman is awesome for sure. Spydie flicking my Native Chiefs is pretty sweet. My xm24... You just have to experience one! THWACK! Sharp by Design Evo typhoon... Probably the best flipping of all, it's just perfect.

My zt 0801ti though... Perfect detent, drop shut, and the sound it makes when locking open... It might still be in the top spot!
 
I really like how hard my Combat Troodons kick. It's not excessive, but you can really feel the power throwing the nearly 4" blade out in a blink.

A good out the front is the knife equivalent of grilling tongs. You just gotta snap 'em a few times as soon as you get it in your hands ;)
 
Rassenti Druid Integral. The locking sound from a thick-framed integral is very different from all my other knives. Zero resistance when it breaks from the detent, then just a purposeful, low-toned click.

And as of last week, my new Flipper Persian framelock on Skiff bearings :D
 
As I've mentioned before, fidget factor is major to me, dealing with severe anxiety, adhd, and insomnia. I flick/flip my knives open and closed incessantly. So pretty much everything I own is satisfying in that regard. Most satisfying?

In no particular order:

ZT 0470 and 0095
WE Deacon
APurvis Progeny V2
Brian Tighe and Friends Twist Tighe OTF
Civivi McKenna
 
I like the feeling of a solid clack when opening knives with the Tri-Ad lock.

Another, that I really like the feel of when it locks open is the Cold Steel Pocket Bushman.

I don't seem to have a handy pic of mine right now...
 
I have a lot of folders, but nothing quite has the same satisfying thunk and opening presence as my Kizer Sheepdog XL. It's not the most practically sized EDC for the office or a great thing to pull out at a suburban kid's birthday party, but the action is great and it's a pretty pocket hatchet. As someone with big hands, it's a big knife that fits my hand perfectly and is built to be used.
