So I've been browsing instagram's plethora of Cucchiraras and Laconico's Jasmines, and I currently don't have the funds or the means to get a hold of one of these knives anyway. So I'm wondering what a good alternate option would be for a gorgeous flipper, or should I just hold out til I can get my hands on one of these?

I've looked at the Spyderco Southard, and some of the Brous Blades flippers, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with any of these. Also if you know of any mid techs like Matt's stuff etc let me know cause I live in CO and don't have the funds to take a flight out to any knife show and come back with a knife.
 
Matt's stuff is great and can be found for sale in the forums or on his website when he has them, also he posts them on IG but they go very fast as they come in at a very nice price. I do not have experience with the Southard but everyone I know seems to love it. Spyderco is a great company and Brad is an excellent designer. As far as Brous goes, I really am a big fan of his flippers and have one or two on my wish list, but I am trying to save so will have to hold off on those.
 
I'm partial to the Southard, it's a great knife. I also think it looks pretty spiffy when sexed up a bit with custom scales, like these:

Awesome I'll have to keep an eye out, also I've got a wicked edge, I know for the most part Matt's are all recurves, how do those fair on a WE?

My reply isn't showing up, so if there are two my bad.

Those are gorgeous, I love that middle one. Are all of those yours? How are they durability wise?

Yup, I mostly rotate these for every day use. They're great knives, I've probably flipped my first one a million times by now and it's still perfect.
 
Besides money you need patience... :)
Ive been waiting for mine for 5 month.
So you can put order and start saving money ;)
 
Take a look at the Kershaw Oso-Sweet and the Kershaw Volt II or the Drone. All are AO's with flippers
and don't cost an arm and a leg. I have all three and really like them. I carry the Oso-Sweet as my
around the house knife and the Drone for off-home carry (it has an under 3" blade).

Not the biggest fan of AO's but I'll definitely check them out thanks!
