All the Eeewwwwwiing in the world won't bring on a flipper.
We'll save that for the next project.
Too bad but something to look forward to. Kershaw really knows how to do flippers. :thumbup:

If I nag about it non stop can I get a flipper put on this thing?
This was not a serious request. Just an attempt at humor.

Flipper or no, as someone else said we're already getting what pretty much amounts to a full production XM. That's awesome no matter how you look at it, and is a big help to us non-military, non-first responder types that don't have the time and/or money to hunt down an XM on the secondary market.
Pretty sure it won't take away the craving I have for one, though...

i dont want a flipper or a liner, thats for sure. i dont mind flippers but on my flipper knives i never use them unless theyre dedicated flippers. i like the way studs/holes function bette, so i always end up wishing it didnt have a flipper.
whether its a liner lock or an ril, i like the beauty that having no opposite side liner brings. if i wanted super strength i guess i would have a solid slab of metal opposite the lock side.
i wish this folder had a 4-4.5 inch blade, and no choil. everyone has different taste i guess

I doubt that much of the G10 side liner will be visible.

Well of course we love flippers as well, and have done more of them than anybody I know. We have a flipper design of Rick's on the table that we agreed on internally yesterday (No I don't have details), but with the 0550, the whole design would have to change if we wanted add a flipper.
I think I have some line art with the design changes, I'll post an image of it on Monday. Perhaps I'll start a new thread, as this one is getting a bit lengthy.
In talking with the factory manager yesterday, we opted on moving this piece up on the production schedule. He wouldn't commit to the end of Aug. but nodded at mid-Sept. So we're getting closer. :thumbup:
