What do you guys think? I totally want one, I'm just attempting to glean some additional facts, knowledge, and opinions before I bite.

If the action is anything like the Sheepdog flipper - it'll be winner! I'm not even a real fan of flippers and I'm almost obsessed with the Sheepdogs I picked up recently.

Me too. The 7 has a special place in my heart too, so I envision myself flipping it incessantly were I to acquire one.

I think its a good idea. Im liking it more and more with every picture i see. The extra guard provided by the flipper is an added plus.

I didn't like the way it looked when I first saw the pictures of it. I thought the flipper was too big. My mind has changed since then. I definitely am interested in one now. I recently have bought a Hinderer bowie flipper and have over $200.00 in extra mods and the tool for it. I have shelved the thing because one screw came out of the pocket clip and I lost it, also lost a screw on the tab. Also the scale comes loose and have to tighten it frequently. Umm sorry for the rant, nothing like that has ever happened with my Emerson knives , I bet their flippers are awesome, in fact I want one soon.

I'm still on the fence. I might wait for the CQC-7 Balisong.

Well, that's gonna' make my fourth 7 in the last month...

Officer's Match · Jul 15, 2016

Well, make that 5 - this last one should be really cool.

Lycosa · Jul 15, 2016

Can you post a pic of of your pack?^

Only three present at the moment, the really interesting two are inbound (one from EKI). Also have some new shoes being crafted...

I missed out on the last run of OBS knives, so I made this mine!
Just arrived today from EKI

That looks awesome, congrats. I'm going to get one, but after I get my new Jungle 7 broken in.

I want to pick up a Ti pivot or three when they get back in stock. That looks great p0ultyrgeist.

Thanks; it certainly made my day. I have one of the engraved skull clips for it as well, but haven't had a chance to install it yet.

I'd personally love one. It would replace my normal cqc 7 for sure!

I'm thinking so as well - we shall see sometime this week. However, both will likely have to take a back seat to the 7 inbound this morning...

OK, I gotta' say, the Flipper7 is fantastic. It has perfect action, and the flipper feels really good as a finger guard when open. I bought it thinking I'd likely do some rhinoplasty on the flipper fin, and I still may at some point, but it works and feels fantastic as designed.

Good to hear!
