The Top 10 Most Fidget Friendly Knives!

[@poopagore]

smock is my favorite, so many ways to open it and even better when you remove the second detent ball IMO

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Totally agree! Not a must IMO, but it does help!

[@erwinmaes3105]

the benchmade 940 should be #1.... bought today my very first benchmade and my thumb hurts like hell at this moment

[@SeemsLogical]

"Band-aids aren't cool. They've never been a fashion statement." I know of a certain knife youtuber who that may have felt personally attacked by this, lol.

[@ratiounkn3210]

Nelly came to my mind first.

[@a2zedc588]

I have got yelled at by my wife EVERYWHERE for knife fidgeting 🤣 They're so may times I don't even know I'm doing it lol 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

A2ZEDC well you know, I tell my fiancé there’s a lot worse ways I could annoy her! 😂😂😂

[@bladeguru6358]

My #1 has to be the Spyderco Smock. I haven’t removed the 2nd detent ball (and don’t plan to) but it is still totally drop shutty. You can easily thumb, spidey, and of course flip!! Super fun! 💕🔪

[@jeffcanyafixiy]

Thanks Wayne!! Your insight takes me out of my usual purchases. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸 Keep up the great work! Take care and thanks again.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Glad to hear that! Thanks buddy! 🙌🏼👊🏼

Oh man, it’s a second time in a row the Malibu is in your video. I’m losing my ability to resist it. Also, the smock looks 🔥🔥! Thanks for the video!!!

[@meatmun7747]

Don't forget about the ability to "spydy-drop" those knives with the thumb-hole.

The 940-1 is the carbon fiber s90v version.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

No Nonsense EDC I’d be lying if I said that never happened to me! 😂😂

[@domeromer]

Other than the Protech my vote would be for the Smock. Man! it is such a fidget enabler. So many ways to open it that’s it’s hard to put down. I had planned to remove the 2nd detent ball but haven’t yet thought it needed it. Plus it’s still breaking in. Great vid man and cool sticker. 🤘🏼

[@fredminpin]

Cool video (albeit a tiny bit long winded) there are definitely a couple I would consider getting just because of the video. I would suggest putting the names, time stamps in the description area. Thanks for taking the time to put out the content info.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Thank you for checking it out, Chuck! 🙌🏼 I have started listing knives in the description if there are multiple ones. 👊🏼

[@JoJo-nt9bm]

I like your sticker. A 2nd option where earth is cut out in the shape of a knife with a "sharp" Dagger tip would be cool too.

[@matusknives]

Got the Maileah recently and while it needed the tension of the lock bar to be adjusted, it is by far the most fidgety knife I have. It still needs a proper edge as the one from factory is more than 20 deg per side, but it is still surprising useful as box opener - the 3 finger grip it provides is super secure. So thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

No problem bud! Glad you like it!

[@WwLoganxX]

I ordered the Maileah this week. The Artisan site kept giving me some error regardless of what browser I used. I called them and got a real person after 2 rings. Super nice guy who told me how to order through email. It should be here in 3 days. I kind of figured that Swaggs was a model hired to do a job, but I love her designs. Totally legit knife person.

[@BaritoneMonkey]

@@WaynesSharpWorld Gosh dang it, Wayne. Read your comment 3 minutes ago, and now I'm another $50 deeper into the hole of potential fiscal irresponsibility. And I'd just bought the Elementum with wood scales three days ago too. 😂 Haha, no but honestly that's the knife that brought me to your channel. Already knew from that first video that I was going to buy the model in black - just gorgeous with those red accents.

Here to find a new fidget knife after my spyderco resilience bit me lol

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

This video should help with that! 👌🏼🔥

[@tylerwarren8399]

Discontinued and underrated IMO, the Benchmade 531 is a wonderful fidget/office EDC blade that is in my rotation. The way the axis lock pushes the blade out for you is great, and when it’s tuned right, it will flick like an auto, I can even index and spydie flick it off the thumb studs. But the PM2, is definitely my go to. I’ve done an acid etch and stone wash on my S30V, and the I anodized some Flytanium hardware to bronze, and changed out the scales to Ripps Tech garage green canvas micarta. I also have a TI lynch clip I annodozed to match. It’s my baby lol.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Sounds like an amazing custom job! 👌🏼🔥

[@tylerwarren8399]

[@Frizzlefry7]

I'm still on a front flipper kick. Trying to kick the habit. No dice yet though. I still love front flippers. You're right though, I bought the Kizer Assassin and the Apus before I bought the Genie. Genie action is fantastic out of the box. The Apus had some terrible lock stick.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Frizzlefry I’m not a big fan of the Apus design. Just doesn’t excite me. Genie is amazing though!

[@lancebeare8314]

Cool video, wasnt familiar w your top 4, definitely agree w the Smock...you can swirl it out with the weight of the blade, and for me the Spydie flick is super natural on it, but I've never tried on camera. I'll have to check out the Malibu, don't have a Protech. 👍

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

You’d definitely love the Malibu, especially if you like the Smock. The button lock is even smoother! 👌🏼🔥

[@tallica4life81]

I daily carry hinderers and I’m wearing basketball shorts with an xm-18 in the right pocket and then the eklipse in my left pocket. It’s not too bad either. Just chilling at home and I run Teflon in the eklipse bearings in xm-18 and I love to swap between flipping them because they feel different and keeps me satisfied.

I'm looking at getting a Spyderco para 2 (in s30v) come Christmas time to replace my Tenacious. Either that or I am gonna get a ESEE-3 in s35vn with the contoured micarta scales.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Both are 👌🏼🔥🔥

[@CertifiedSunset]

@@WaynesSharpWorld I know it's a question with a pretty obvious answer but I would like to hear another opinion. Which of the two knives (Para 2 and ESEE-3) would be a better EDC knife? I considered appendix or belt carry for the ESEE-3 seeing as it would free up space in my pocket where I keep my phone. And I get that the Para 2 is generally a better overall EDC knife but I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

@@CertifiedSunset you know buddy, I’m becoming more in tuned with the mindset that the best edc knife for any individual is the one they will enjoy and use the most, regardless of any stereotypical thoughts behind any given piece. Personally, I would go with the PM2 mainly because of its fidget factor and knowing that in reality, either knife would easily handle any edc tasks you’d come across. The Esee would actually come in more handy in any type of outdoor adventure or “oh sh!t” situation haha! My advice would be go with whatever blade appeals to you more. Everyone has opinions and while I do love giving my two cents, I always advise people to simply go with their gut when they’re torn between two different knives. 👌🏼👊🏼

[@CertifiedSunset]

@@WaynesSharpWorld I appreciate the response. I'm most likely going with the Para 2, I like customizing my knives and it is a solid knife similar in size to my Tenacious with a good blade steel. In a perfect world I would buy both, but that will have to wait a bit. Thank you!

[@qdp03]

On the AD-20, does the jimping wear out your finger from fidgeting? Also, how is the detent from pulling down the lock? I know it's not a traditional detent but how does the force to open it compare to the Malibu? That's the only other knife that I've handled on your list for a point of comparison. Thanks!

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Personally, I don’t find the jimping to wear on my thumb at all. The detent on the lock feels more like a latch... kinda hard to describe, but I’d definitely call it more of a latch feeling than a detent. To be honest, it really doesn’t compare to the Malibu at all. The detent on the Malibu is literally perfect for the knife, but there kind of isn’t a true detent for the AD20. I don’t think it’s realistic to compare the two. Hope this helps, just want to be honest with ya. 👊🏼

The Giant Mouse Biblio feels like it should be high on my list, but the action and detent both suck on mine and the lock bar pinches me constantly when unlocking.
