Having read Artfully Martials review of the Kershaw Blue Bump and spending several hours looking at the picture (as well as trying to find one for a good price) I am severly tempted to get one. But I was wondering what other Ti framelocks are there with a flipper? I have been intriged by flippers for sometime and want to get one though I would prefer a framelock as I am not too keen on linerlocks.

So whats out there in a framelock with flipper or other good knives with a flipper?

Cheers

I think Darrel Ralph makes some flipper framelocks.

If a custom is too pricey, the (Darrel Ralph co-lab) Combat Elite RRF has a framelock and flipper and is priced around the same as the Bump (though without AO). You can also get it with AO, but it is a bit more expensive.
 
If you're looking for a high quality but ecomonical framelock, the Dominator is an excellent buy. So are some of the Kershaw Ken Onion knives.
 
The new Kershaw-Onion-Strider ZT also fills the bill just fine, and it will be available in a few weeks or so. :thumbup:
 
I have a Combat Elite RRF, non-AO, and I LOVE it!!! Rick Hinderer makes some awesome knives with flippers.
 
I'm afraid I can't recall the price. True north knives usually has some darrel ralph, but they don't appear to have any of this kind right now. I would imagine 500-700 dollars, off the top of my head.
 
I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet....

Camillus CUDA Maxx 5.5

DDR design, long, sharp, pointy, framelock, flippers, pure slicer n' dicer!
 
They aren't framelocks, and they aren't pricey, but CRKT's M-16s have great flippers. The Ti models are a good buy. Just be wary of the zytel AUS-4 models.:barf:
 
The Buck/Mayo TNT is an EXCELLENT reasonably priced titanium framelock, with an S30V Paul Bos heat treated blade.
 
I love the Darel Ralf gunhammer and AXD they look very nice though out of my price range unfortunately. The dominator and Cuda maxx are looking good so far the Dominator more than the Maxx as I prefer the handle shape.

I have looked at the CRKT M-16s as well in the past though I don't know what their liner locks are like. A good fallback option though if I can't afford a more expensive knife :)
 
Been looking around the net for a Dominator and the cheapest two I found wouldn't ship to the UK. Well time to keep looking and saving up some more I think so it isn't so much of a dent to the wallet.
 
Well, its the only frame lock I've ever had, but the mini socom is a great knife for edc. You can find em for about 125.00.
