Of all your knives which one has the smoothest action?

Let’s stick with production and mid-tech knives.

I’ve got some really impressive knives but the winner in my flock is the Reate Horizon.

Shirogorov
CRK
ZT
Spyderco
LionSteel slip joints
Out all of the knives I own, and most of them are pretty damn smooth, the one that stands out the most is my Shirogorov F3R with green in the carbon fiber.
The smoothest CRK out of the box for me has been a large micarta inlay Inkosi.
 
That I ever had was a Shirogorov, what I currently own is my 3.5" Hinderer.
 
Production knives..... I have never had a knife with an action like this 0462. No blade play and still one of the best actions in my stable.

I have never owned many flippers but the Zt’s I have were very smooth, 0450 and the 0609.
As far as my CRKs go I like the feeling of my large inkosi’s with a little nano grease. Hard to beat a good and broke in sebenza 21 with Crk grease tho
 
It's a tie between my Bugout and my Praetorian Genesis, which are both exceptionally smooth in different ways.

I don't own it anymore, but my ZT 0562 would likely have edged out both of them. That thing was a guillotine.
 
Dentent ball drag (or any lock drag) is the name of the game, and Shiro does it better than most.
 
Of my two knives, my ZT 0562CF definitely edges out my CRKT M1 in terms of smoothness. It has the smoothest thwack my dreams are made of.
