Who does front flippers?
I saw one a while back, I can't remember the name. Surely there are more.:)
 
There's a bunch of front flippers. Some of the more popular are the Kizer Feist, the CIVIVI McKenna, Bestech Ivy, Viper Novis, Reate Bushido and Tribute and the Pena Lanny Front Flippers.
 
Here's a good thread to get you rolling. :)

Front Flipper Fans?

Just bought my first front flipper, and after watching so many videos of people struggling with opening them, I was worried if I would have the dexterity needed to open it. I got the Blade Center exclusive Real Steel Metamorph with black blade and black G-10 scales. It's got Sandvik 14C28N...

Olamic Whippersnapper, Kizer Feist and the Gareth Bull/WE Shamwari are the first ones I thought about.
 
I have three myself. Civivi McKenna Damascus, Civivi Exarch CF/Damascus, and Viper Novis. Considering picking up a Civivi Imperium next.

Viper Novis (doesn't have a clip though)

I personally don't like them, they are awkward for me. Flipper, thumb studs or hole are better in my experience.

Agreed. I'm content with spydie holes and thumb studs too. I don't even have that many "regular" flippers.
 
I like them a lot. I find the Pena style front flippers are easier to use than any other opening methods, and don't interfere with the blade when you're cutting like thumb studs or a spydie hole does
