Domino flipper delete

[lawp]

I like my new Domino (thank you Joshua) but find the flipper feature useless and in the way. At some future time I will grind the horn off flush with the liner backside. Has anyone done this yet? What are the ramifications?

No problems what so ever. Grind it so it is flush or slightly below the scales when closed. You have to remove the blade and be careful when reassembling the ball bearings. I dislike flippers so I did mine right after getting it...

I had one where it was already ground down.

Looked good but it felt to much like a Manix with a frame lock.

I would like to have a Manix with a frame lock.

Grind away and enjoy

Mine flips like a dream. Does yours not work well?

For me it was just that I prefer opening it with the hole, it flipped fine. Since I wasn't using the flipper tab it was best to remove it.

Post up some pics when you get this done. I'd love to see the results.

Did it years ago and had some pics out, but photobucket is out and I haven't bothered to start using another site..

Shark, I've been carrying a Spydiehole for 30 years and my muscle memory is too old to change. I can deploy that way 3 times faster than flipping. My Domino flips OK but my fingers don't. Pictures some time in the future.
NoFair, same here except one more thing: when I close my Domino using only my deploy hand, the flip horn hits my thumb and stops the blade half closed.

Thanks for the pics. Very nice scale, by the way.

I had a Domino with the flipper delete. Solid knife. I liked it a lot without the flipper tab. The design looked more sleek, IMO.
