    Looking for: a Flipper with Deep Riding Clip, Good Steel, under $100

    Hi. In an ideal world, I would just buy a Zero Tolerance 0550. But I just blew some money on 2 Mcustas, so my knife budget is almost gone. Anyway, I am looking for a deep riding flipper with decent steel, 3 to 4 inches, and around $100 or under. I saw the Gerber Evo but it has a terrible reputation here. I also saw the CRKT M16, it doesn't look like it rides low enough. The Kershaws And Cold Steels also don't look like low riders. So, suggestions?

    P.S. No recurves or Spydercos please.

    the buck vantage pro has a small flipper, deep pocket clip, 3.25" blade, S30V steel and will run you about $60.

    One solution could be buying a low-rider clip separately and installing it on the knife of your choice. They are available from a couple places online, I think one had titanium clips for a low price!

    My suggestion - Buck Vantage Pro.
    Low ride clip - check.
    Flipper - check.
    Good s30v steel - check.
    Around $60 - check.
    Excellent value for money knife and definitely on my next to buy list.

    Can that weird blue thing in the handle be removed?

    Buy any of the awesome kershaw offerings under $65 then have someone MAKE you a simple low ride clip for it... problem solved

    Cant get much better than a CRKT Ripple one of the original ones with steel frame lock. The most I've seen them go for is around 90, if you shop around a little bit you can find em for 75

    I second CRKT. Great knives and several flippers under $100. Quality is really excellent for the price.

    I say pick up a nice Kershaw and get a Low Ride clip from someone that makes them.

    Try the Crkt Eros 2



    Sog Mini-Vulcan VL-02



    Or like the other mentioned different kershaws like the Baby Boa, Leek, Scallion, or even the ZT0350 (A tad over a $100)
