i know these can be unobtanium sometimes. but jason stout makes a really well done 3" , they usually are in butcher blade form but there are some of these out there.also sam eddleman makes a good 3" flipper , there was one up a couple days ago , and if you can go over 3" i little bit the jeremy robertson el patron 3.25 flipper is very good.

You nailed it with the Laconico Small Jasmine. Save up for one of those that appear here on the secondary market.

The Cryo is just as durable as any other knife. Maybe try the G10 model?
That small bear by laconico that sold the other day is amazing. Looks just like the jasmine with a more aggressive blade shape. I think that was the first one sold but I'm sure ray will make more. That is my small grail. The hinderer is nice but worth no where near the secondary prices, if it was full ti.....maybe, but it flips poorly and has horrible detent, and I still own one for some reason.... Curtiss compact is a tank as well and probably the toughest of 3" size in all ti, with bearings and it's a true flipper with excellent detent. but a small sebenza is hands down my fav for a 3" blade and I've tried most of the popular productions and a few customs.
I saw that small bear before it sold and told myself "if I'm spending that kind of money had better wait to get what I want." If I knew it was a first I probably would have went for it. The shirogorov that won't up today looks amazing but I fear it'll carry as big as my brous mini division.
How much did that small bear go for? I never saw the price and am curious what to expect down the line. I haven't heard anything bad about the jasmine so I assume it's top notch. I'm waiting for the stars to align as well. One went today for a good price and once again I misses it. Ray does the lotteries every once in a while and sells a knife for his price so look out for that too.
