Small Manual Flippers with 2.25-3.25 inch Blades

[manowar669]

Twitch II is a nice little knife.

my tre cf flips fine and the blade is dead center---you may have just been unlucky the day you picked it up.

Love my 3" Hinderer XMs. Love my ZT 0450. Really like my Lionsteel TRE CF, and Spydie Positron. Reasonably like my Brous Bionic. Pre-ordered Steelcraft Mini Bodega.

^^^ That is what is holding me back from getting my hands on a TRE. I keep reading they are great, but then I read all the complaints about flipping action and blade centering.

Mines perfect. Dead centre, flipping action is smooth and detent is fine. You'll get a dud here and there.

The only one I'm really waiting for is the Todd Begg Steelcraft Mini Bodega with a 3" blade made by Reate which should be available in a few weeks.

There are a couple of others I'm considering: Ferrum Forge N-TAC (3") and Spartan Blades Metis (2.75")

That is one HELL of a collection RZ!! Beautiful stuff my friend!!

Not sure of the blade length, but have you ever checked out the CRKT Swindle??
Onion design that has an amazing action!! For $40 the blade will fall closed with the slightest of shakes!! Flips exactly how you'd want a flipper to flip!!
Wish they'd make that one with a better steel!!

Thank you.

I don't have the Swindle (3.2" blade) but do have three from CRKT with the Eros Titanium one of my favorites of all-time. Great for when going for exercise since it weighs just 1.59 ounces.

1. CRKT Ripple Blue (3.125")
2. CRKT Eros Titanium (3")
3. CRKT M16-01T (3.125")

Guardian Tac Helix Nano......one of the absolute best flippers I have ever flipped!!
Excellent knife in every regard!!

The Guardian Tactical Helix Nano is a great one. Very smooth flipper.

I have it in CF with stonewashed blade (see post # 105 above).

Damn!! Missed it!

I like this little benchmade quite a bit. It's nearly an auto with it's assist and small flipper that sends the blade flying. Plus, the lock works, both ways on the axis, open and closed.
