What knife do you feel has the most enjoyable flipping action?

To me the best flipper is have ever owned were a Shirogorov 95t and a Thorburn L51.

Tell me what your favorite is?

Thanks
 
ZT has some of the best flippers I've handled. The couple of WE knives I own are really good as well.
I don't own any but have handled them at a knife show, but Brad Zinker has some really snappy flippers.
 
I handled an A2 knife at a blade show once that was far and away the best flipper I have ever touched; as far as one I've owned I think the Kershaw Skyline was probably the nicest.
 
CKF Trekoza flips so smooth with ceramic bearings.

Well let's see,....the first flippers I had were the Buck Vantage knives, not very good flipper action, but usable. Then a Kershaw Camber, but that's cheating. After that, a 0450cf, that is a very good flipper. But the most enjoyable flipper I have, that I find is as good if not better than the ZT, is my Spyderco Positron. I just love that little knife, especially after a slight modification with a Dremel.
 
My Top 3:
1.CKF Morrf-5
2.Reate Valhalla
3.Reate K-2
Honorable Mention: Olamic Wayfarer 247
 
I know it sounds crazy, but Bestech makes an amazing flipper. It almost feels assisted. I can't even describe it. I have dozens of high-dollar knives, and my Scimitar is equal to or better than all of them.
 
WOW! What a question. Is the best the easiest or the most snappy or the one most enjoyable? :confused: All these categories are subjective; particularly the last. ;) I personally could not choose between my Kizers (Gemini or 4421A1-I think), swindle, ripple, and I'm sure at least 1 or 2 others. I know that I get a LOT of enjoyment from many. :cool: If forced to pick, I think (taking into consideration usage also) my blue ripple 2. :thumbsup:
 
I have two that are just a joy to flip:

The Shiro F95T, because..., well, Shiro.
Spyderco PM2.

Two opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet both are clearly exceptional knives in any collection.
