Favorite Flipper(s)?

[Spillproof]

Over the last few years I've purchased several flippers "to give them a try." Of the ones I have purchased I have two favorites: a ZT 0562cf and a North Arm Skaha2 with natural G10.

They are polar opposites.
The Skaha is light, nimble and incredibly smooth. The ZT is... well it's a Hinderer ZT so you know how it is. It's an elegant tank. One of these days I'll replace that cf scale with something a little less "HelllOoo!"





So what are yours?
Please include the names.
Maybe I need a Shiro eh?

Apologies in advance if this is a redundant thread. I did a search and didn't see a similar one.

Yeah those'll probably do ;-)

Is your iMamba on washers or bearings?

Mine are on bearings. I have washers for them, but prefer the bearing actions at present .

Very nice!
I recognize the first three but don't know the last one. What is it?

Holt Bladeworks Morpheus..

It's one of the ones on my list. Just waiting on that rich uncle of mine to finally kick the bucket

Morpheous like he says. I really like the adjustable detent and the feel and texture of the handles.

Another vote for the Chaves 229. Not the most refined action by any means, but I just love the "thwack" it has lol.

Got to love some Chaves! How many favorites can we reasonably have here?

The action on my ZT0055 is ridiculously fidgety. The action on my Protech Mordax is just fun as heck to flick.

The flipper is my favorite blade opening device.

I've got way too many flippers to name a "favorite" but the 1st I ever purchased in the 80's was a Kershaw assisted Shallot 1840CKT, which I still like:

In fact, I like the Shallot so much, I amassed a sub-collection including 1 user & 7 safe queen variations of the model:

But, I've acquired many other flippers since I collected the Shallots, including others made by Kershaw, ZT, CRKT, Hinderer, Olamic, Spyderco, Bernard, Shiro, Reate/Chavez, Artisan, LionSteel, Real Steel, Krein & Tighe.

I've never counted exactly how many of them there are but I wouldn't be surprised if there were between 50-100 in my collection.
