Can anyone give me a simple, short explanation of a folding knife's "walk and talk"? Thanks.

when most refer to walk and talk, they are referring to the look and snap of the blades on a folding knife....meaning the blades are in good condition, are tight and have very good snap. hope this helps.

Well now,

My understanding of that terminology is.....

Walk: The smoothness of opening and closing the knife...even with half-stops.
Talk: The sound upon opening the blade fully, and upon closing the blade.
