After having quite a few different knives, my favorite knives are my 0562CF and Rod Olson Quick Flick. What I'm now looking for is a knife similar to the 0562, but with a 3" blade like the Rod Olson. First that comes to my mind is a 3" Hinderer. However, they don't flip open like a ZT. If there were a miniature 0562, I'd be all over that. Since there's not, what knife have I missed in my search?
 
Lionsteel TRE Titanium (although I been reading they don't flip that well all the time)
Kizer Gemini

This kizer may be close to what you are looking for. It doesn't have the kvt bearings like the 0562 though.

This is exactly the knife that came to mind for me after reading OP's post. The 3404 series (it comes in other colors too) is very Hinderer-esque in shape. No bearings, but my 3404 flips hard every time, no wrist required. It's actually one of my better-flipping knives, and I have dozens with bearings, thanks to its longer flipper tab.

LionSteel TRE TI & CF have a compromise detent so that they open fairly well using the flipper tab or thumb disc. LionSteel TRE TI is one of my most carried folders and it has worked very well. It's light, classy and M390 steel.

Kizer Gemini is also a great little flipper but some of them have had pivot issues but not mine. Perhaps the best small flipper for $170.
