... I have found that none of them feel the same!
The Dragonflies are small, and while I can "slow roll" them open: it's taking a fair amount of practice!
The Military is a BEAST! I really like it; but I can't stretch my paw fa enough forward to complete the process. But I can get the proper angle with my thumb, and get it started pretty easy/
The Para 3 is just the right size. I can even make it seem pretty snappy!
Just like Goldilocks: I had to find the one that was... "just right!"
 
Congrats! You will be back flipping them in no time.

Edit: also, I think I have that same Millie, the Bento Box Smurf Blue in S90V? The coolest cat.

Is that the same as the Spydie Flick?

That's the one! I think it's the toughest folder I've ever had

I love the way my Techno2 hole feels on my thumbnail when I flick it open. Smoothest Spydie hole I've felt so far.

The Techno 1 and Southard also have very smooth spydie holes. I wonder if it's a Taichung or CTS-XHP thing.

Maybe! :)
I was really craving some blue denim micarta lately. I feel a scale swap is coming.

I've seen some blue denim micarta on fixed blade knives, and it was awesome. You should go for it. And how about some of Spyderco's "burple"? I think that's what they call it. It's not quite right to match the hues of your other pieces, but I really dig it.

Funny, two folders with steel liners left unmodded in my collection are exactly a Manix2 and a Millie with the blurple G10 scales - they are the ones I want to convert to denim micarta. I think blurple looks nice in photos, because it is well lit and further lightened in post processing. But IRL, to me, blurple G10 is close to black G10.

Blue twill looks also nice in photos, but never handled it in person.

I've got it's twin-Brother, and I agree with you!
They sure is some big beasties! 😁
 
I was just saying something along those lines about my Chaparral recently. The slow roll opening feels so smooth the way my thumb glides along the edge of the hole. And the hole position throughout opening is just in that sweet spot where you barely move any other part of your hand. The backlock also makes the very start feel extra smooth too (would normally be that sudden breaking of detent with other locks). Just a very nice opening feeling. :)
