Folding Knife Opening Methods | Knives 101 Ep 1 Media

Published: 5 years ago

We're starting a new video series called Knives 101. This series is going to start with the VERY basics of knives and move into more depth from there, if this is a little too basic for you, don't worry, we'll get there. We are starting from the ground up. In this episode we are talking about the many different types of Opening Mechanism for folding knives.
We get into the very controllable thumbstuds, the very fidgetable knife flippers, the extremely function knife holes (Spyderco Hole), as well as several other more unique opening methods / mechanisms.

Let us know in the comments, which is your favorite type of opening method?
