i always opened my knife with a flick of my thumb, but i know there are some cool and unusual ways of getting a knife open. anyone know some other ways to open a knife?
 
If the action's loose enough, many knives will open with a flick of the wrist.

Have you seen the Lev-R-Lock knives made by Camillus?

Hold the back of the blade between your teeth and snap your head to the side saying "Arrrrrrr Scallywag!" with a fierce look in your eye.

:D ROTFL

You could also get a leather jacket, jeans, and boots and apply a lot of grease to your long hair. Then use a cheap push-button switchblade.

:D WHOLEY CRAP THAT WAS FUNNY!!!!! :D It took me a minute to catch my breath from that one.
 
yea balisongs are fun to open but what about a reg. folder, only the bade-in-the teeth trick?
 
Well you could jam it into someone's chest, hook the thumbstud under the sternum, then yank it back out - it's a real crowd pleaser.
 
A product of having lots of time infront of the computer with a knife:

With my zip-tie-waved Dodo, you hold the knife in your dominant hand, upside down. Your middle finger is on that flatish part of the handle then my index is on that small little hump in the front. The ziptie is up against the skin between my index and thumb.

I apply pressure, with my middle and the knife starts to open. When it opens enough I start to apply pressure with my index. When it opens, the ziptie is in about the same place it started out at, and I am pinching it with my pointer and thumb, near the BB. The knife is upsidedown, edge side up. From the pinch position, I pull my fingers back to find the pivot pin, I use the weight of the handle to let the knife rotate into position.

^^^It's alot easier than it sounds. :p I'll post up pics/a vid later...
 
There is the classic handle drop which works on blades without studs or holes. You pinch the blade between thumb and side of index finger with the blade pointed forward, then you twitch your wrist down which swings the handle down, then you abruptly bring your wrist back to its original position which stops the blade and lets the handle continue rotating until your lock engages and the handle is in your hand. This works with all kinds of classic lockbacks, but you have to be careful with heavy handled knives like Buck folding hunting knives. You can accidently throw the knife. It works particularly well with Spydercos since you can securely pinch the hole. The handle drop is how I always opened my old Mercator K55. With the Mercators I would sometimes do the twitch with the handle up and sort of a back hand motion. This left me holding the knife by the blade such that I could throw it.
 
thanks i have done that but only i kind of do it in my left hand and them give it a lil toss over to my right. i was experimenting today and one time i opened it it looked like what trump does when he says your fired!
 
Okay, so here's the knife itself, notice the zip-tie:

Pointer and middle finger placement:

Applying pressure with middle finger:

^^^After this point I apply pressure with pointer finger, pushing on that little hump up front.^^^
