What is your favorite Buck fidget knife? The 110 is my favorite knife, but the Vantage Select 345 is my favorite fidget knife, followed by the 346. The 345 is well broken in, flips or thumb opens and closes smoothly and is a one handed closer. Don't own a 347 yet.

The 110 Slim Pro is nice also but doesn't one hand close.
 
I dont fidget with knives much myself or all, but a sprint on bearings and the flipper would be high on my list of Bucks to play with if i was gonna.

in hindsight I do like to rub the scales, with blade closed of my copper sprint and 722. so I guess that is kinda fidgeting with it.
 
I’m not into fidgety with a knife. My dad got me over that back when I was around 7 years old. So I just use them and then put’em away. If I get board or feeling fidgety I go find something to keep my hands and mind occupied on something productive. But it is satisfying to push the button on my 110 auto and see, hear and feel it go to lockup. I try to find things where I can use it lol. My 830 marksman is really satisfying as well.
 
The "new" has about worn off the used 340 Vantage that I recently bought, so I don't "fidget" with it much. Besides, if my hand or fingers slip, that blade don't care what it cuts. I replaced the Spyderco daily carry with this one since it is smaller and does the job. I do strop a knife sometimes whether it needs it or not.

The one I really like to carry to show off is my 501, it's not fancy, but that series of Bucks are just the right size range for me. I don't carry it much, don't want to scratch it up.

Have a blessed day,

Leon
 
831 Marksman all the way. It has thousands upon thousands of flips under its belt as I flip the shiz out of it while driving in my territory. I'm in Eugene today and it was in my hand for almost the entire 7 hr trip. For some reason the Tanto version is my favorite and I'm not a tanto guy. It has a real aggressive hollow grind blade. The scale pattern is easy to hold on to. I wish this was a full Titanium framed knife. If you don't have one consider getting one. Idk if they are discontinued or not. Only maint so far is keeping the pivot screw tight. I could loctite but its not that bothersome.

If the Sprint had a bigger heavier blade it might give the Marksman a run for the money.

Makael, I just purchased my first and only Marksman (tanto), and I get it. It is definitely fidget-worthy. Butter.

I did send it to Buck Warranty after a few days. I noticed that the secondary point on the tanto blade was flattening out due to the fact that it was hitting the inside of the spine when it was closed. Do you know if this is a common problem with the tanto version of the Marksman?
 
By the way, my answer to this excellent fidget question is not short: My Vantages, Impact, 112 Finger Groove w/ thumbstud, Marksman, and Sprint Pro.

To make matters worse, I usually carry two knives on me every day to the office. Double-fisting Buck excellence.

Do they have meds for this?
 
When fidgeting I don't open and close this, just roll it around in my hand, it has a great tactile feel.
