What knife opens with a satisfactory/authority loud sound?

[CHNeal]

I owned a Startac for a couple days and to me it sounded much more authoritative when flicked open then any Sebenza I’ve ever owned.

True, but the 870 doesn't have squat on my mom using my first, middle, and last name

Now that just brought back memories. If my mom leaned out the door and called me by all 3 names, it was not going to end well. It was the definite way that she got my attention.

This Coogler has a fairly authoritative auditory presence.

As far as the old lock backs like a Buck 110, nothing will match the Kershaw 1050. It’s a bank fault lock if there ever was one. I am a framelock guy, so just know and love the sound when a Sebenza 21 or older locks into place. I just know it’s not going to fail me.

Microtech Socom Elite, manual action. I have a lot of them and they all make wonderful sounds when opening.

Sebenza 25

Yeah they don't clip in a pocket very good. But if you are looking for the sound of authority......

Ooohhh I don't know... I'd like to try that little 870 TAC-14 on for size with a pocket clip.

ProTech autos sound really nice.

I have an old Camillus CUDA Dominator that is a spring assisted flipper that sounds better than pretty much any non-auto I ever had.

Microtech socom elite manual does it for me. Not to mention the kick it has when deployed.

The Benchmade Aparition has a nice thwak!
It's discontinued though.

 

[Jcsixx01]

Spyderco Nirvana opens with a very satisfying thwack.

A large Bob Dozier Folding Hunter. It's got a beautiful solid "Snickkk"

It's a silly knife, but you really have to flip a Cold Steel Luzon 6" if you haven't. Mine flips great and makes a heck of a noise, befitting the ridiculous nature of the thing.

Remington 870?

Silly boy...I've had quite a few 870's and model 12's, and the model 12 wins by a "CLACK."

Coldsteel Recon 1

 

[sharp_edge]

Smaller/lighter knives will not open with a loud thwack sound with authority (nothing to do with their quality)..

Among the knives I have tried, the few I can think of include Cold Steel Espada Large, Recon 1, ZT 0200, and ZT 0909.

All metal delica,and dragon fly

 

[elde66]

Real Steel Megalodon 2017 Ti. Just the sound it makes forced me to buy a second one.

 

[drail]

"...Remington 870..." Oh man, I'm not going to be able to stop laughing for a week now. Cowboy humor. I love it........

 

[Vis07]
