Just got home and had a couple knives in the mail. I will give my initial impressions of the 300 flipper.

The first thing I checked when I opened the box was to see how easy it was to flip. It was real easy, then I checked and it had blade play. No problem. I adjusted the blade play out of the knife by tightening the pivot screw and was satisfied with the ease of opening using the flipper. * Check Video Below *
The blade came razor sharp from the factory. Sharper even than my Adamas from the factory.

The ergonomics on the knife are great for me. That being said though the flipper which turns into a choil could be uncomfortable if I am doing any heavy cutting. It isn't a problem yet, but I have had the knife like 15 minutes so I dunno. The jimping is pretty aggressive on the flipper/choil. Other than that the knife feels great in my hand. I can get a full grip on the knife and my fingers line up perfectly with the grooves. The textured g10 handles provide a lot of extra grip.
Here is a video to show how the knife flips. Notice no blade play and I don't need to flick my wrist to get it to open well. This is with no practice, like I said I have had the knife like 15 minutes.

edit....after some practice I am able to flip much faster than even in the video. This is my first non assisted flipper.
Overall I am happy with the knife. It is very well built smaller knife. I personally really like the looks of the knife. I know some don't, but just pure aesthetics I would put it in my top 3 current production models. I think I am going to make it my "out on the town" knife. I am pretty bad at reviews but if y'all have any questions I will try to answer them.
