Preferred Opening Method

[Moxy]

Assuming everything else is equal, in general, which do you prefer on a manual folder?

 

[B.F.U]

Spyder hole

 

[mrdabble]

Thumbstud - no flipper.

 

[truth-seeker]

I have more thumb hole openers (a lot of Spyderco's)
But I prefer Flipper's, right now I'm carrying a sog Vulcan.
Hopefully a ZT flipper in the future

Axis lock, CBBL, Compression Lock, Balisong, Auto. My favorite folders I never have to touch the blade to open them...

I chose other because I have no preference. nail pulls, disks, studs, holes, they're all fine.

 

[Lee48]

I have no preference but I do avoid assisted opening knives.

 

[marcinek]

I prefer a nail nick....which is two handed...so I don't know which of your poll options to choose.

 

[Shaggy]

Flipper: so much easier to open w/ my weak-side hand.

 

[addylo]

What's the hurry? Take time to enjoy your knife.

I voted Nail Nick.

 

[jakemex]

Flipper... Cuz thumb studs are too finicky and vary with the knife as to ease of opening.

 

[Bigfatts]

My preferences run:
-thumb stud
-flipper
-Axis
-push button auto
-thumb disk
-nail nick
-anything else
-thumb hole

 

[jkwithawave]

I voted for the first five. It really depends on the knife for me.

 

[stevekolt]

Spyder-hole and flipper for me.

 

[LittlesumoAus]

Thumb stud
Flipper
Spydie hole

 

[kershawguy13]

Spyder hole

This.

 

[Silvanus]

Since Emerson is probably my favorite knife maker, I'd have to say thumb disk. Second in line would probably be flipper

 

[Moxy]

I prefer a nail nick....which is two handed...so I don't know which of your poll options to choose.

But not all two handed openers are nail-knick.
