Dedicated Front Flipper Thread. Let's See Em!

[Chronovore]

... The Kizer Bamboo is more of a top flipper but great for what it is. The scales have just enough texture and are nicely rounded.

 

[Chronovore]

The Kizer Feist, designed by Justin Lundquist, has been one of the more popular front flippers. I still know people who regularly post "Feist Friday" shots. (That's in addition to "Front Flipper Friday" and "Fuente Friday" for us brothers of the leaf.)

The regular Feist is just a little too small for me but the Feist XL is just right! This is one where I actually have a closed picture at the ready. I did a little ergonomic rounding on the Micarta scales here and dyed them purple.

Love em. That Willem Steenkamp is gorgeous. I have one from his brother, Kosie. My understanding is that Willem is the ff expert of the pair.

I always thought the Smock was a front flipper? No?

I think you're correct Terry.

What’s the top one?

That’s called the “Futura” probably because the scales are easily removed. The other scales are carbon fiber and titanium. This is a Sanford Owen design. Fits right in though with all the Ray Lacanico MBK’s.

Yeah back flipper. Although not in the conventional way.

Blast from the past and something new

My first ever Reate made knife, the Vulpex VK Anub.
Really impressed with this one. Stacks up with many customs I’ve had, from the fit/finish to the feel in hand.
Copper Dark Matter CF, Zirc clip, Elmax.

Reate quality is amazing. Found that out pretty quick through my Berg Blades Reate made knives. Just found a place that had a restock of the Reate made Vero Lux 2. Should be here in a couple days. More front flipper goodness. . .

I actually just sold a Lux.
Awesome design, but the full size definitely feels full size. In hindsight I probably would have preferred the 3.3.
