The "End All" Knife

Les George, the VECP would check a lot of your boxes, and the action on his knives is sublime

Does that come as a flipper? All I’m seeing is thumbstuds. Already got nice thumbstuds. They look a bit pricier than I’d like to go, too.

There are flipper versions, they even did some Wilson combat handle ones in the past. My MK3 is a permanent fixture in my collection, the action and handle are tactile delight.paging mitchnola mitchnola 😂

Well, I caved. I found the Malibu I was looking for. And then AB called, and I answered - a very pretty brown Kudu bone inlay flipper. My PP account is hunkered down in some dark corner right now gasping for air. I think a few lesser favorites in the collection might be about to show up in the exchange.

This is (mostly) your fault, norcalAF norcalAF .

You are gonna love that AB, I had a CF inlay one that was too pretty to carry lol, luckily I found a guy and a swap for a PJ was made, it has been getting some pocket time. Just be expecting the action to be a little stiff until broken in, now mine is butter smooth from the fuller or the flipper with no adjustments of the pivot. I have washers, how about yours?

No joke, the MK3 that I have is on par or maybe even better than the Grimsmo I have, it's scary smooth with a thumb flick and that's washers to bearings 😳. I'm looking for a flipper VECP

I believe this one has bearings. And it’s not new, so hopefully it’s worn in already. If not, I’ve calloused many thumbs (well, only one thumb several times) on new knives while watching entire Saturdays of college football and binging Seinfeld - one more on the index finger will be worth it if need be. The worst one to break in was the ZT 0990 - that one took constant flipping (and a lot of cussing) for a good couple of weeks until it got to where it’s an ok fidgeter. For this kind of money, I’m hoping this AB won’t be quite that bad.

I hear the bearings are pretty smooth out the gate. You will enjoy it! I had to have one because the maker's mark is my initials lol

The ABs are fantastic build quality, at some point I will get a mammoth tooth one to do nothing but drool on.
