I don't see this talked about much, but I have a few knifes that I just like to open and close just to hear it. My favorite is my 6347 ans far as sound, snap, and smoothness. It even has a little vibrating sound to it, hard to describe. I also fancy my Camillus made Mooremaker Muskrat and my Case mini Copperlock. I'll be at work and after using a knife I'll hold it up for some worker nearby to hear it snap.Call me crazy.
 
Cool thread. I'll go through mine and post a pic of of the winner when I get home!
 
#73 Tidioute sounds the best my S&M crimson bone Baby Sunfish has my farvorite feeling walk and talk!
 
Hands down, this Bulldog Soddie! I think the light weight to size ratio, and scale material combine to promotes great acoustics:D

If I had to pick right now, it would be the Buck 303T, I'm carryin' along with a Queen #26medium Stockman and a Northwoods medium Stockman as part of a test.

The Buck walks and talks like a precision made tool, it's the Snap-On of knives in world full of Craftsmans and Huskies.;)
 
Gotta be this honkin' ol' XX Sunfish for me. It doesn't 'snap' per say; it latches closed with a heavy resonant mechanical 'clack' that reminds me of cycling the bolt on a big, woody, well-oiled M1 Garand. :)

Probably my AG Russell (by Camillus) Texas Ranger folding hunter at the moment. It feels like it opens and closes on bearings and the snap is perfect.

I LIKE this thread very much! Yes, I know snapping 'em shut could wreck 'em but.

Oddly enough, it's a lowly Böker Stockman in spotted bone(the one named after a breed of horse whose name I can't spell..) Really clunks home when closing,people even look across the room if you are in public,so you have to be careful....
 
I don't have any expensive knives, just a bunch of common production knives, but my enjoy the sound of my lowly SAKs which all have a very nice "snap" sound when opening and closing. I also have a couple of Bucks (one 301 and one 303) that I enjoy the sound of opening and closing.

Hi,

My Case Gunboat. The blades sound like a bank vault opening and closing. Just solid feel.

I know nothing about Slipjoints and am reading posts in an atempt to learn. You guys speak a language all your own. I know what a knife "walk & talk" is but man I love this quote.
