Flippers to me are stupid and serve no real purpose other than to take up space in your pocket, and prove to your friends you are truly a geek. If CRK had to poor taste to make one, I would not buy it.
I'll admit I was a little ways into the weekends festivities when I wrote my previous comment (should have posted in the "CRK posing with favourite beer" thread), so it is perhaps a little more disrespectful than I intended, however reading it with a clearer mind I stand behind the general sentiment. Certainly not all people who purchase flippers or make flippers are geeks, but I can't help but feeling like one when I use the one I have to open a box etc, especially at work or around friends. I don't buy the idea that deployment speed is going to save your life, and they cannot be relied upon to fully lock when using gloves, so in general Flippers are very cool to play with in front of the TV, but are mainly a gimmick that draws attention to your knife in all other situations (at least in my opinion).
I turn to CRK because at the heart of even the most dressed-up sebenza, there is a practical tool.
Of course if CRK made one I'd have to buy it regardless!
