Best flippers

[Dsun]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the knife with the fastest, smoothest, easiest flipping action.

 

[jday2727]

ZTs are pretty smooth, especially considering the price.

 

[Ruggdogg87]

My first question would be your price point. And I agree with jday, ZTs are awesome flippers

 

[Jtur7681]

ZTs best production flippers and great value. Todd Begg Bodega, smoothest/quickest action Ive ever handled.

In my opinion...

Dollar for dollar: Reate
Flipper of flippers: André Thorburn

 

[Yo Mama]

Emerson rangemaster all the way. Second is the Freeman Outdoors flipper.

ZT0801

I second that! My 0801 is a phenomenal flipper.

I can guarantee that I am going to be the only one to say this, but I most enjoy the flipping action/feel of a perfect Hinderer XM-18.

My best flippers would be the ZT0450 and the Spyderco Domino, both fly open with very little effort.

I have two ZTs. A 0801 & a 0562 & both work fine.

The absolute smoothest flipper I ever felt was a XM-24 Bowie. I've had ceramic MRBS knives that weren't as smooth. Faster, sure, but they didn't glide like oil on glass in zero gravity like that 24 does.

Agreed. I find the action on mine very satisfying, as well. Perfectly fluid, hydraulic movement with a perfect !click! on engagement.

I still think one of the most underrated and perfect flippers is/was the CRKT Foresight! Even compared to customs that thing is an amazing flipper.

Hard to beat the feel of IKBS, IMO, so I generally alternate between a Jason Clark and Andre Thorburn in that department (with Olamic being comparable).

Believe it or not, the Real Steel Sea Eagle is the smoothest, fastest flipper I have. Next best is ZT 0452 and Spydie Domino

 

[timnelson]

My favorite by far is my Kizer Kyre.

 

[AJR576]

I really like my Spyderco Domino and Hogue Ex02...both fire out with authority. My previous ZT801 was also great but I'm sending my current ZT801 back since it has a weak detent / sluggish flipping action.

ZT 450 & 452.
Brous VR-71.
Spydie Domino & Southard.
All are fast, smooth and tight!

There's a pretty good joke just itching to come out. But, I'm just going to leave it alone.
