Hey everyone, just finished my first flipper. Special thanks to my friend Ray Laconico for explaining the bearing instalation process. CPM-154 blade, all Ti handle, bronze backspacer and overtravel plate, heat colored screws, custom Ti thumbstud, GTC bearings. Overall lengths is 7 3/4", blade is 3 1/8" and closed length is 4 1/2". I'll try to post a video of the action later. Hope you guys like it!

Very nice. I love the worn look. Cool pics with the Russian ammo pouches also. What would a piece like this cost?
 
Terrific. Make a slimmed-down, lightweight version of that knife with a 3-1/2" blade and I'm in! :)
 
That's pretty sexy. Huge fan of the look, the old rusty coloration and the overall shape makes it very easy on the eyes. The only thing I'd do is maybe fatten the flipper a bit to offer a bit more real-estate when deploying it, as-is it looks a bit uncomfortable with that small surface area. Besides that, I'd love to see that on my shelf.
 
Very nice work. A little big for me; you should consider a smaller version for EDC in addition to this one. The worn look is a winner.
 
Thanks you guys! Sorry, blade is 3 1/8" not 4 1/2", thats the closed length. That's what happens when you post a knife with no sleep lol :)
 
Clean, elegant and compact looking flipper - nice.
Congrats on a job well done on your first flipper with ball bearings.
 
Serge is a maker EVERYONE can like. Count me in.

Guys: Asking pricing in this forum in an open post is never cool. Take that to a PM, please.

So distinctly yours. I'll bet it flips easily.
