Flippers, lightweight

[gull wing]

I have a Skyline, it's great but interested in more of that type knife.
Any ideas?

(ZT's don't qualify)

What do you consider lightweight? If I were looking for a good flipper in a Kershaw, I'd probably look at either the Nura 3.0 or 3.5 depending on your preferred blade size. They're both heavier than the skyline by more than an ounce, but still not what I would call heavy.

The Kershaw Thermite is an amazing knife.

Kershaw Strobe maybe? Manual flipper running on bearings, cheaper than a Skyline.

Why wouldn't a ZT qualify?
The new 0452 is only 4.6 ounces and has a 4.1" blade!

The 0808 is lightweight too, but has a smaller blade.

Spyderco Dice is a great upper end small flipper

Boker urban trapper.

One of the lightest flippers I have seen.

I've got a leek, it's pretty good, lightweight.

And don't overlook the CRKT M16 line. I kid you not.

Buck Vantage.

I'd suggest the Kershaw Oso-Sweet or Kershaw Volt II. Both flipper A/O and inexpensive. If you are game for a thumb stud liner lock that is really nice (no flipper) look at the Colt liner lock in D2.

Yes to this. :thumbup:

The Kershaw Chill is a small but still useful lightweight flipper.

Though its assisted, the ZT 0770 CF is VERY light.
