Picked one of these up a couple of months ago and here is what I think of it so far. I'll start by saying that it is the only flipper I own, and that's because I don't like flippers in general. I guess the reason I purchased it was solely because it looked so cool, and I had been thinking about getting one of the more expensive sprint knives. I got this one for the bcci price.
The fist thing I noticed out of the box was how heavy it was. I was a little shocked by a knife named "sprint pro" that was a good deal heavier than my g10 722. The blade is beefy and is very heavy at the pivot. I believe this helps it "flip".

I have taken the knife to the woods and work everyday since purchase, as my 722 is still off at the factory. A couple of other things I don't like about it before I go on to the good stuff.
1.When you drop it, it opens.
2. The handle profile is small. I have larger than medium hands. Sometimes it's hard to hold the knife while effectively opening it. It can not open, or open while flying out of my hands.
3. The lock spring on this liner lock is only about 1/16" I do hope it maintains its tension for the life of the knife.
(EDIT) 4. The clip pushes the knife to the center of your pocket. I like to tuck my knife all the way to the right of my right pocket. Not very often, all the way left. This clip pushes the knife to the middle of your pocket.

The design of the blade makes it a much better work knife than a woods knife. Buck call the blade a drop point, but it is almost a sheepsfoot. My 112 was able to make much better puncture cuts as expected.
