Best flipper.

[Radioactive]

What do you guys think is the best flipping knife out there, custom or production?

I'm not really into flippers but maybe if I find the right one, I might consider getting one. One of the best I've ever handled was a Buck Rush. Though I'm sure there's better ones out there.

The RAM is the best I've handled.

Boy, that's a tough one. It's all so subjective. I honestly couldn't say what custom flipper's the best. I can say that, for the $, the Kershaw Groove isn't bad. However, I'd say that the best "production" flipper I've tried is the DDR Maxx Q1A. Although it's not a full production as I believe they call is a "mid-tech" knife. It's very similar in size to the Groove, but lighter & with better steel. Admittedly, it's also a bit more expensive.

The Kershaw RAM and Zing are my favorites.

I like too many to name them all, but the one I carry, is the ZT 0200.

If I was going to buy a flipper and had the funds, I would look at RJ Martin Knives.

If you want a good quality production at a moderate price i would recommand a Boker Plus Direkt;

It is a manual flipper no assisted opener .

 

[chanwahyaoh]

Zt0300?

 

[Masteroffajitas]

Kershaw knives have nice flipper imo.

 

[rackness]

I would look at RJ Martin Knives.

+1 R.J. make a kick ass knife.

On a budget the Kershaw made zing flips almost as well has his custom zing and it is only $40. Awsome knife for the money. I have yet to run across anything that flips better anywhere near that price and that includes AO blades as well..

 

[miro44]

Kershaw Zing is definately the best flipper knife I' ve ever had, it' s actually even faster than the Leek, which is assisted.

 

[ROBB]

I agree with RJ Martin. The blade shoots out like an AO. As far as factory I'm looking forward to Kershaw's new OD1 (go over to Kershaw's forum and take a look), and one of the best buys is the Leek if you want an AO.

I would say one of the Rick Hinderer knives.

 

[T.K.C.]

The best flipper out there is the RJ Martin Q-36!!

 

[Brad "the butcher"]

my ZT 200 is built like a brick and the flipper is a good safety hilt.

 

[rackness]

I would say one of the Rick Hinderer knives.

I like Hinderer knives they have very high quality F&F and are built super tough but every flipper that has passed through my hands as well as the one I still own flips like crap. I highly reccomend Hinderer knives just the non-flipper models.

I have a couple of Todd Begg Glimpses that are fast , but the Les Voorhies Model 7 IKBS is in a league of its own!

J.L. Williams seems to be the master of the technical flippers at the moment. I have never had the pleasure of handling one of his customs, but his production Kershaw Ener-G (the kick stop mechanism) and OD-1 (the overdrive mechanism) are outstanding. Both of those flippers are multi-part mechanical flippers that allow the flipper to sit inside the handle scales once the knives have popped open rather than stick out like a fixed flipper. Both flippers are extremely fast and reliable and the knives they are used on are both fairly inexpensive.
