Gareth Bull Shamwari (It doesn't have a "flipper" per se, can be flipped open, does that count? :) )

I havent gotten to handle any of his work but ive heard only the highest of praise about it
it really is hard to describe simple elegance just by looks

and ive already made contact with gareth for a shamwari :cool: extremely extremely excited about it

Im also curious about a mikkel willumsen tuco
 
Don't have any. Had two XM-18's and sold 'em. I like my Brad Southard...but I don't love it.
I guess I don't have one and don't want one at the moment.
 
I'd have to say an RJ Martin Overkill. Fires like a rocket. I traded mine for a Peter R hd knife that he made 20 of (fullers on both scales). I can't think of the name of the knife now.
 
One of my favorites is this one:

Although, I'm still waiting for the 0777 that I preordered in 2011.
