I've owned a couple Burger knives and the front flipper is simply amazing, IMO. I'd love to see it offered on CRK folders.
Ha! That's not me. I found that video on the interwebs. I can open my 21's (large and small) and my 25 like that. The 25 is a bit easier due to the sharper jimping. It took a lot of practice to get it down though.
Heck they changed the nick to make it harder to one hand open on the S35V models.
I've heard about this and did a little digging. I believe it's more a function of the new detent, as seen in this helpful thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...i-vs-New-Style-Mnandi?p=12307058#post12307058
That said, I do like the old design nail nick a lot more, aesthetically speaking.

It was speculated it was to make it more of a two hand opening knife to make it legal in more areas.
I should clarify my opinion, as I never used the front flipper on either of my Burger EXK1s to "flip" the knife open. I just used it in a controlled manner to open the knife. I was a very natural method to open the knife.
