Just finished this one up....its my first attempt at a "Flipper". I found it to be no more difficult than the average liner lock...with just a couple of adjustments on the action. I also did a WIP on this one, which you can see HERE.

I really like that it also has a thumbstud. I find most flippers lacking because they don't have the thumb option. Nice work.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'm gong to carry this one around for a while and see how I like it. I've already seen a couple of things that I MIGHT change on the next one...just have to decide if the changes will enhance the overall knife.

Why would u want studs on a flipper? I prefer flippers sans thumb studs. It's a much cleaner look imo.
 
Ed That is very cool thanks for doing the WIP I like this one the best of the folders I have seen of yours. I think it's the holes with MOP back lay that I dig so much nice job.
