I'm looking for a fun cheap! manual flipper knife... any suggestions?

I've had some high end knives for sure, but my very favorite flipper is a cheap s&w. The thing is crappy as a knife, has blade play and nylon washers, but man does it fire hard. :)
Oh it waves too, but they put the clip on the wrong way for that. :confused:
 
Thanks for all the responses guys... I'm going to go with the Inron MY803... dirt cheap and a bit heavy looks kind of fun to me.
 
I'd say kershaw Ener-g2. You can still find them if you look around and its an extremely cool and very fast flipping knife
 
There is a difference between a knockoff and "stealing" (enough is changed to call it 'inspired by') a design. A knockoff is a counterfeit item sold as an authentic. A stolen design that is changed and branded as the maker's is dirty business, but a completely different thing. But of course people here don't care about that, and if it is made in China and doesn't bear branding of an American company, well get the pitchforks and torches.

The OP appears to have just wanted a cheap flipper. Enlan or SRM fit that bill. He probably got it for a little over $10, and if he is buying the knife just to play with paying more for the benefit of having spent more money is dumb. If you want a cheap shirt to sleep in, will you go buy a pack of cheapo Walmart shirts or go buy a designer shirt? The OP just wanted the Walmart shirts. Making comments about how the OP picked poorly just shows that you guys might just be sore losers, because what you like wasn't picked.

Well stated. That was why my first comment was asking for a guidline and when none was posted I went with what I thought fit his asking. I just assumed he wanted a cheap knife to play with. I didn't think that my suggestion for a cheap knife would get so much criticism. If there is a US made knife that fit the sub $15 mark and is a flipper, I didn't see anyone mention it. Can't always make everybody happy all of the time. Oh well...
