As the title says, I am looking for opinions on Greg Lightfoots folders especially his flippers. I am mostly interested in hearing from folks that have owned and used them or at least hanlded them. I am leaning towards purchasing one of his flippers but have never touched one. Thanks in advance.
 
I got a chance to handle an FCF for a few minutes once. Not a whole lot I can say other than it was a super solid knife. Construction, fit and finish, materials were all top notch. I didn't do too much with the flipper because it wasn't my knife, but it was smooth. Greg's knives, folder or fixed, are outstanding.

Thanks for your input.....awesome sig and avatar by the way:thumbup:
 
I have no experience with the flipper model, but I do own a Lightfoot Max Velocity and have another on order which he indicates he will make and deliver next month.

I am impressed with both my own and other examples of his work that I have examined in the past. I like just about everything about my Max Velocity - good, attractive design, solid construction and very, very smooth operation.
 
I recently bought one of his damasteel companion knives. I really like the grinds on it and the kydex/sharkskin covered sheath with the teklok is outstanding. It makes a great fixed blade EDC.
 
Hey MD...

I've worked on quite a few of Greg's blades,, however they were all fixed blades.. all very nicely made and comfortable..
The folders I have handled were equally well made and thought out..
no doubt Greg knows how to make a knife..

If you like them,, don't think you can go wrong with one of them..
They demand their price,,and if taken care of will hold their value..

I owned a large magnum, and it was perfect! BG42 steel, carbon fiber handle slabs, and lock up was perfectiion. You won't go wrong owning one of his knives. keepem sharp

PS I have a really nice Bob T. that I would trade for another of Gregs 468 mags. hint hint-keepem sharp
 
I've used Greg's knives for many years. Love them. Very solid. And I think they're beautiful. I actually don't have a flipper...yet. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.
 
All of Greg's current models are rugged and well made, the grinds are outstanding.

Folders I would recommend are the FCF, M1 and the Catchdog.

I especially like his fixed blades, they'll do anything you ask of them.
