Best Front Flippers?

What are the best front flippers and which front flippers coming out soon are you looking forward to getting? Thanks

The Civivi McKenna is a pretty good budget option. Super easy to flip!

I have an Olamic Busker I keep around and I'll probably pick up a Whippersnapper at some point as well.

I agree. I have that and the Civivi Exarch and I like the Mckenna better. I'm really new to front flippers and just trying to see what's out there and it's nice to see that someone started out with a budget knife because I'm not willing to spend all that much.

I just got a Kizer Feist that I'm sending back because of a finish issue. The action seems good and snappy but it seems harder to flip than the Civivi knives. I guess maybe I got into front flippers at the right time because Civivi seems to be the best bang for the buck on front flippers from some of the info I've came across.

My only one is a Boker+ Kansei LRF which I liked because it’s super easy to flip open using my forefinger instead of just the traditional front flipper method.

Would love to see more models with this dual action style of opening.

+1 for the McKenna. The Damascus version makes such a nice little gentleman's folder.

Looks nice. The Damascus McKenna seems to be sold out everywhere. I just got the D2 model with the black G10 handle. I may get the Damascus too if I can't find some other front flippers I like.

I've only got the Boose Smoke, but I really like the whole front flipping steak knife thing it's got going on.
