Another vote for these two. Southard if you want something lighter, smaller and more pocket friendly, 561 if you're in the market for well made tank of a flipper.
 
Out of all the one's I have handled and owned, I would give the edge to the ZT 030x. I have not handled a southard or a Fantoni, but I've heard great things about both of them.
 
Well from my Experience my zt0200, from what iv heard southard 561 waleshark...

Really depends on what you're looking for . . . AO or Manual? Small, medium or large? Linerlock, framelock or button-lock? You'll need to narrow it down a little before I make a recommendation.
 
I've owned quite a few flippers and I must say the one with the most perfect flipper action would be the spyderco southard.
 
I really love the ZT 0561, but in my mind, the perfect flipper would have KVT system, Axis lock (or Tri-Ad lock) for ambidextrousness, G10 grips, and a decent steel. Does such a knife exist?
 
I think the southard is a great knife. I like my folders about that size or smaller and they don't come much better than an XM-18.

A flipper with Axis lock could be a possibility, but I don't think a flipper can be made with any kind of back lock.
 
they have a benchmade axis flipper its really nice but my vote goes to zt 200 for big kershaw groove for medium skyline for small.
 
Manual flippers medium sized is what I'm looking for don't care about the lock style. But really asking a general question like to hear different options.
 
i'll vote for the southard.

i don't like anything spyderco (for purely aesthetic reasons, i wont argue the quality--they're fantastic knives), but I'm still tempted to pick one up.

a buddy of mine picked one up and i was really impressed by it.
