Most Fidget Friendly Knife
Most Fidget Friendly Knife
I’m curious what knife y’all like to fidget with the most. I’m a comp lock fan mainly for that reason, but my favorite knife to fidget with to date is a liner lock. Mine is the:
Magnitude- it flies open effortlessly in 4 different ways, and I love the balance and weight of the knife while doing so.

Generally, I’m against using the term “fidget factor” when talking about knives but I’d be lying if I said I’ve never caught myself “fidgeting” with a knife before.
Specifically, the Squarehead model. It’s like the size of a worry stone but has all the function of a knife. Simply just rolling the blade open and closing it is enough “fidget” for me. :)

I have to admit, I had my Sliverax out of my pocket a few times yesterday, nothing to cut just opening and closing it. :)
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Re: Most Fidget Friendly Knife
i’ll fidget with any knife, but my two most fidget-friendly spydercos are the yojimbo 2 with its heavy blade and comp lock and dragonfly 2 salt for its small size and easy one hand manipulation.

Re: Most Fidget Friendly Knife
Manix 2 has an unusual clicking noise due to the ball bearing.

Hah, I've never really considered myself a "fidgeter".. and I certainly don't agree with those people who view "fidget-factor" as a primary consideration when choosing a knife.. that said, I sure do seem to get in an inordinate amount of "deployment practice" when I carry my Smock.

Probably one of my Sliverax. The pivot action is unreal and multiple opening methods are fun.

Just for their small size, the Techno and the Lil' Native.
Re: Most Fidget Friendly Knife
I don't fidget much either, though to break a knife in I will cycle it until it feels smooth to me. One of my favorites is the Meerkat. Just a pinch of the scales, slight movement of the wrist and the blade opens or closes effortlessly.
Re: Most Fidget Friendly Knife
Two more votes for the Smock and the Sliverax. Both very hard not to fidget with.

Re: Most Fidget Friendly Knife
I hardly even flick my blade open anymore, just use the dang thing when i need it, must be old age..
The only knives i have opened and closed excesively just ..because are my BM Onslaught (i know, i know, but it's a Bob Lum design! :P )
The Ikuchi and my Mk2 Starmate that has a detent so weak i can wrist flick it open easily, and it's very smooth closing as well.
