Best Flipper for a Woman?

[Horizon7]

I am going to buy a flipper for female colleague, but need some recommendations on which one would be best.

I was thinking about getting her a Spyderco Mantra because it's about the same size as a Delica. Since the Delica was ergonomically designed for women, I figured this would be the best option.

Any others I should consider?

I would recommend a ZT of some flavor...

Dont know why gender would matter at all in buying a knife. The ZT 452 is a great flipper...

I'm sure she wants to keep all of her fingers intact, sir.

Rike thor 4 or Rike hummingbird come to mind. The hummingbird can be worn around the neck on a necklace.

I actually think she's a nice person, and I wouldn't do that to her.

It's got an incredibly smooth action so I guess you'd have to just watch your fingers when you close it. But its a very sleek knife for it's size and locks up rock solid. A great value.

The hummingbird comes in pink too

Thanks, dude

The thor 4 is a small size too........watch a video to see how small. The hummingbird is tiny......like jewelry.

Id recommend zt0452 being smalller her smaller hands would work it nicely. I never got the memo of delica 4 being built for women.

OP - I would recommend a ZT too like 91bravo but since you dont like it, how about a Reate Horizon D?

I haven’t handled the Mantra but I’ve heard great things about it. Plus it comes in M4 which I really enjoy using and sharpening.

I’m not really sure what difference being a woman makes. Hand size and personal taste in my opinion would be more prudent information to help make a selection.

What’s your colleague in to? Do they work in an office, do yard work or construction, fish, etc?

ZT 0450 or ZT 808.

Per Sal, the Delica and Endura were designed as a "His and Her" pair.

She would like it for office tasks but also for SD if the occasion arose .

ZT 0450 or ZT 808.

Ethically, I couldn't buy her a ZT. If it cut her finger open, I would feel terrible.

zt0452

I just got my first ZT, a 0450cf. I'm pretty pleased with it. It fits my tiny woman hand, and my feeble lady's fingers have no trouble flipping it.
