Best production frame lock flipper?

[mmarkh]

Does a tip down flipper ever try to open when you pull it out of your pocket?

Kershaw !

Already been said but... Leek and Groove come to mind. OD-1 is also a great choice - a very cool , sleek knife although I'm still a bit iffy on the lockup since it tends to engage less snappy than I prefer. Now if you want a linerlock that is as sturdy as any of Kershaw framelocks , what about an Ener-g ? I have the large sized version , it is a truly wonderful knife ( if you can get past that awful trec grip stuff on the handle ).

There is a production version of Hinderer's famous flipper made by Gerber , I've been awful curious as to the quality.

kershaw blur, or kershaw needs work, or a kershaw skyline.

Not a frame lock, but ZT 0200 is also a great flipper.

Kershaw Junk Yard Dog II, Composite Blade D2 is more than good enough!

I'm pretty sure that none of those are framelocks.

another vote for kershaw. Best production frame-lock I've owned has to be my zdp-ti mini-cyclone(model#1636tizdp). In fact, its lock-up is the best of any frame lock I've owned, including hi-dollar customs. I paid $145 for it and should have bought two or three at that price. You can still find them, last I checked for around $300 or so--well worth it though, IMO.

Not in production anymore, but the Camillus Dominator is a very nice Ti, AO flipper. S30v blade around 3.5"

Hi

Is there a good one with no blade play and good steel?

1- Flipper
2-Frame lock
3- Good steel
4- Production (No Hinderer for me )

Thanks

How about it doesn't meet the OP's specifications.


2brothers is spot on! The Kershaw Groove (pick your flavor) is hands down my favorite production, frame lock, flipper!!:thumbup:

Non-assisted Kershaw Groove is the best at flipping. As smooth as one of R.J.'s customs IMO.
Available with black or gray scales, in satin, black tanto or spectrum (VIB).
3-1/2" blade, 4-1/2" closed. About 4 to 5 oz weight.

Kershaw has so darn many fine knives that it is hard to pick just one, but I have to agree with 3Guardsman and 2Brothers on the Groove. It has the smoothest pivot action of any knife that I own and the grip just melts into your hand. I think that everyone should own at least one.

I like the Ener-G and OD-1 for low cost high quality flippers. If you got the money the Galyean Pro Series JYD is great also.
