Just got my first custom - Tim Britton Tango.

:thumbup: Just received my first custom, the Tim Britton Tango. I am really impressed with this knife which has just jumped to the number one slot in my EDC rotation, bumping my Thiel Officer V2 (another great knife). I thought I would share my enthusiasm and a few amateur snap shots with all of you.

By the way, the ONLY "issue" I have with this knife is I wish Mr. Britton had added a small cover plate for the unused milled out area of the pocket clip, like on the Hinderer XMs.

Congrats on your first custom. Looks awesome.

The detent ball appears white. Is it nylon or some ceramic?

LOL - I didn't even notice that till you mentioned it. It appears to be ceramic and not a polished metal. Interesting.

I have noticed this model recently so thank you for posting some pics at different angles.

I see what you mean about the filler tab area but its not a huge deal.

Does it flip like a dream?

The deployment action is smooth, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it flips like a dream. It requires a little bit of a wrist flick. I think this can be attributed to the flipper being rather small. This knife could and would definitely benefit from an IKBS or similar pivot system or a larger flipper. To reiterate, the deployment is very smooth and fast. No complaints here. I just carried it today.
