CRK Flipper

[hoimin]

Like others have stated, I'm not interested in the conventional flipper design, but I've owned a couple Burger Knives EXK1s with the front opening design and was very impressed with them. I rarely flipped them open, but it was effortless to do. In fact, the South African front opening design might be my favourite one hand opening design to date.

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I think this lip-opening method would serve the Mnandi/Sebenza platform well. Easier to manufacture without thumbstuds/nail nicks to boot.
The Shamwari (Gareth Bull custom) is a lip-opening homage to the Sebenza. Jason Guthrie's Barlow is another that I am very attracted to.

I would not mind a front tab opener"Burger" type opener, it would not be a far departure from things "Sebenza".
As a matter of fact, I made a blade to do just that. Not CRK perfect to be sure, but it works. (note, no stud)

Looks fantastic! And the grind looks nice, too.
You should sell it.

Looks awesome. Good job

The front flipper I'd like to see would be based on the Mnandi.

This is something I'd like to see and possibly buy. Front flipper like gareth bull, no stud and a clean 21 type design with crk tolerances.
