Flipper on washers

[TRfromMT]

Contemplating what I want in my next knife. I'm looking for a flipper that runs on washers. Seems like most of them run on bearings, nowdays.

Here are the ones I'm aware of...

Hinderer tri way, and the MP-1.
Older Shiro Hati's


What else is currently available?

Pretty sure Hogue is still on washers, or on some models, no washers, just milled.

A se one hand Hinderer gen 4 or 5
I have a gen 4 - non flipper - that run on washers and that has a great action

a ZT 0350, it can be assisted or de-assisted, not the smoothest but still an option

Medford USMC Fighter Flipper and Medford Proxima. Medford Infraction, but it's more like a kicker than a flipper. These will all require wrist for the first year. What you're left with after the lengthy break-in period is a flipper that flies out with a CRK-like hydraulic feel.

I think there’s some Shirogorov models like that.

The discontinued ZT 0200 and 0300/0301/etc. models were flippers on washers. 0200 is unassisted, 0300 is assisted.

The Dendra knives made by Lionsteel are all on washers.
And IMO they're a bargain.

Wow. That would be awesome indeed.

If you want something with 6 or 7 or 8 washers go for Medford Praetorian You get your money's worth of PB washers!!!

The more the better right???

Wilson Combat Les George Eagle. Runs on Teflon washers which I lube with liquid TriFlow, same as my earlier gen RHKs. Possibly the slimmest knife I own, but broad so it's really good in both pocket and hand

The Steel Will Cutjack reg. sized and mini run on PB washers.
Flips pretty well too.

If you like front flippers , You can get the Shamwari and Burger EXK & LEXK with washers. All are excellent knives.

Kershaw has several assisted flippers that run on washers, the Leek for example.
