Your Favorite Knife To Play With

Formerly, the SpyderFly but as I don't have mine anymore, the Manix 2.

Para2, UKPK Rescue, Dodo. I just noticed they all are S30V (probably not that important for playing with it) blades with G10 handles and all different locking or non-lock mechanisms.
Two days ago a Pelican came that needs to get smoother so I handle it a lot.

Balisong, folders are pretty boring in comparison, I don't play with them unless they need breaking in.

Used to be my Manix2 but it got benched behind my Techno! I love the *tha-whack* the lock makes on the little thing.

I do that with the manix 2 index finger though. Now because of all these posts, I want a Para2 even more

No, I don't eather, just used it as an example. It can be awkward around ur family lol .

I want to techno but that guy's new kitchen folder design is what I'd really want as opposed to it unless a bigger, slightly redesigned techno comes out.

Hey guys,
The Southard is my current favorite.
Thumb flicking and flipping right handed is pure fun.
The left hand middle finger Spydie flick has been a workout though.
I've never been able to do it with either hand, but due to arthritis in my left middle finger, it's been my form of therapy.
I still can't pull it off 100% of the time.
Practice, practice, practice!
Later,
Don

Usually it's whatever Spydie came in latest. Opening, closing and rotating the knife in my hands while watching TV or listening to a podcast is -for me- a great way to get a feel for the knife. The Bifold is a great 'toy' in this respect, I wish it was still being made; to give it a chance to evolve. I think the edge geometry and ergos could still be tweaked, given enough production time and ELU feedback. When the kids join me on the couch, and I do get to have a ´free´ hand, I don´t play with edges, just a Baliyo.

We all need to attend the next KA meeting: Knifesturbators Anonymous.

This is gonna be the standard vanilla response, but usually whichever knife I happen to be carrying at the time. Chances are good it's either a Manix 2, Yojimbo 2 or Para 2, but it does change from time to time. I do it more for muscle memory than anything else.

Hello,

My name is David and I'm a knifesterbation addict.

It has been 13.72 minutes since I last used. It's a long road ahead.

My custom Para2 with micarta scales. It flies free and easy.
