Most satisfying knife to open

[badmatt]

Fully broken in Inkosi, has to be the smoothest knife on washers.

I wait on the next one to possibly dethrone the Inkosi.

For smoothness, my Olamic Wayfinder shoots open like a rocket.

But the hidden tab on my ZT 0055 is so fun to play with

 

[Ray1911]

I really enjoy opening my 2nd gen Spyderco POLICE. So smooooooth!!

 

[I'mSoSharp]

Any Swedish barrel knife.

My previous post has become outdated.

My two new, and forever all-time favorites. Nothing beats the feel of a powerful switchblade coming alive in your hand .

Videos included.

Was there a white noise machine running in the background while those videos were being shot?

No. 20+ year old camera, with a 20+ year old memory card.

Obviously photography isn't my thing.

I think my favorite knife to open is the Mnandi. Small, sleek and sexy. Open it in the office or a restaurant and no one bats an eye at the old guy and his knife but I hear that sweet sound that can only be described as a Sebenza whispering to you…


I don’t own one anymore but I bought a second ‘ZAAN after selling my first just because how much I enjoyed opening them.

Mnandi was my first thought. Small, and sleek, with such a satisfying ‘thwickkk’ sound. Nothing quite like it.

My favorite knife to open right now though is probably my Oz Roosevelt.

Sometimes it's these weird wonderful upscale budget knives that tickle my pickle pleasantly

But this is awesome too, love that metallic detent and lockup clink. That's also how I like to use opening holes, and why I don't mind slots over the Round Hole

For me it would be the Spyderco Sage 1. Very underrated knife, IMO. Nice solid THWACK for a smallish knife.

Out of all the knives I own, I love my little Zero Tolerance 0022 the most. It's a cool little guy!

Custom = RJ Martin Devastator. It's a shame he stopped making this model.
Production Framelock = Shiro 95
Production Linerlock = TIE: Shiro F3NL + Andre Thorburn L44
Backlock/Midlock = Vintage Al Mar SERE Attack 3002 folder

My ZT 0562CF. The bearing pivot on this thing accompanied by the thick heavy blade is so satisfying. The frame lock cracks when it locks the blade into place. It's my version of a fidget spinner.

 

[kda89508]

The AD20.5 because once you start you just can’t stop

 

[Srtr]

I love opening my Rambo knife to pull out the compass and fishing line.

 

[The_Knife_Man]

It's gotta be the Halo V. It sounds ridiculous opening and you better be holding on to it when you do.

 

[POCEH KOCEB]

My Hissatsu and all my Microtech knives, manual SOCOM Elite and Auto, and my Troodon.

 

[Sonnydaze]

I've had two Shamans and many Sebbies, but my original Spyderco Slysz Bowie gets that honor.

 

[jumpstat]

Mine would be Hinderer spanto gen4 3.5", plain jane sabenza 21 and Spyderco PM2.

Any well broken in CRK is a joy to open. Also, for me, there is just something wonderful about opening a well made slip joint.
