Hey guys!

Since I've started using Kershaws, I've really appreciated the flipper style knives. But unfortunately, they dull a little too fast for me.

Could I get some suggestions on a smaller (< 3") assisted open or flipper style VG10 blade?
 
Kershaw leek is an assisted opening flipper and there is a version in s30v and another in d2. However I have a leek and the tip is very thin so I would only use this knife for light duty cutting tasks. The kershaw blur is also assisted opening and comes in s30v but it is a little over 3 inches long.
 
Thanks for the suggestions fellas!

So far I'm leaning towards the Buck Vantage Pro in S30V.. The only thing turning me off is the horrible quality control rate of blade misalignment.

Any other ideas?
 
Spyderco Dice and Domino (Cts-xhp), brous blades (d2). Benchmade 300 flipper (154cm)

Though none of these are assisted, atleast I don't think they are, the brous I am not definite about. The spydercos are smooth enough to not need a assist, and I have read the same with the brous.
I have heard the benchmade qc can be hit or miss on this model. If you get one that is a bit off, you can send it in and they will square you away.

Awesome - thanks for those! I'll check em out!
 
If you could handle an Al Mar mini sere 2000 you might like it. VG10, nice G 10 and you can flick it open just as quick as a flipper. It fits all your criteria except the flipper but in my experience it's a damn fine knife that flies open quick on its washers.
