what is your favorite flipper

Boker Turbine Illumation and Boker Turbine Forum ARE THE BEST KNIVES EVER, FLIPPER OR NO FLIPPER!!!!!
 
I have three flippers in my collection, so far, and really like all 3 of them for different reasons. I like my ZT0200 for it's heft, and how the blade flips out making that hard and loud snap as the blade locks up. The next flipper is also a ZT, the 0561, ( I actually HAD it but gifted it to my cousin, and will be picking one up next week) which has the KVT bearing's, allowing it to open with the softest of effort and even though I do not like this construction method at least Kershaw put a steel liner on the G-10 side. The final flipper, and perhaps my favorite, is my Hogue EX-02. This is designed after the Tank, and I really like the large, squaresh, rather flat, handles, with the .150" thick, spearpoint blade. Flipping it is a joy as the blade flys out, and this after I tightened the blade, and the liner snaps over to lock it up, and lock it solidly. Even closing is a joy as the liner snaps over to keep the blade "locked" until opened.

All three of these USA production made knives show the best of tight tolerances in their construction, and will not cost a kidney to purchase.
 
I've got a CRKT M16-13Z, M16-14SF, and M16-12Z E.R. I love all of them!!! I think they are really well designed knives.
 
My favorite flipper was the Galyean Pro Series small JYD. I miss that thing, but I was always afraid to use it as hard as it needed to be used for fear of jacking it up (since he's no longer making them).

I've still got the Kershaw version, but it's nowhere near the same knife - I wish Kershaw would make an upgraded version (or even ZT).

My favorite non-mid-tech folder was the 0561, but it was just too large for me. I'm hopeful for the 0566 though - it should be right in that sweet spot.
 
It's been a while since I've owned one, but by far my favorite was the Tilt. Fantastic knife, just too big for me to carry every day.
 
At the moment it is the Southard.The Kershaw JYD large and small are soooooo smoooooth and at the price it is hard to believe.
 
Too many Kershaws to list. I also really dug the ZTs I've handled(but sadly do not yet own).

My ZT 200 is my favorite flipper but I have been pleasantly surprised by my Bad Blood Dreadnaught. For the price fit and finish is excellent. Love the style of what I guess is reverse tanto?
