Recommendation? Easy open slip joint knives?

- the same basic idea as a friction folder, however, this beauty 'Flicker' by Richard Rogers uses a double-detent

Mods - please delete if considered inappropriate or too far away from a traditional friction folder

Most everything I would suggest has already been mentioned, but you might also want to take a look at the AG Russell Medium Lockback Barlow. Very light pull (but still with a satisfying snap), reasonably priced and good quality/value.

(In addition to the yellow, I believe it's also available in Cocobolo and a black synthetic.)

Unfortunately that knife is no longer offered by A.G. Russell.
