This is my first flipper. The blade is 3 7/8 inches of 154cm hand rubbed to 400g at .135 thick, closed length 4 5/8 inches and the overall is 8 1/2 inches. The liners are .055 the scales are OD green g10. Ive got all the bugs works out on this one now so it won't be long and I'll be making a frame lock version as well as a liner lock version. I'm using nylatron washers and it flips like crazy. I gave this one to my dad. What do you guys think?

I had to wait and call my dad the next morning for the clip. I agree the clip did make it look a lot better. I don't put a clip on them til the someone buys it, then I put the clip on how they want it. Tip up or down. Thanks for the feedback guys.
 
Pricing is going to depend on materials and blade finish and steel. 450 will be a max price on this knife for a full ti frame lock with s35vn 600 grit finish.
 
Yea I put a slight bevel on it. Just to round it off. I flipped it so many times it was ripping the callus off of my finger. Its my first flipper I havnt really looked at other flippers to see if they are rounded off or just left at the same thickness of the blade.
