Whats your favorite flipper?

[cchu518]

Favorite flipper action to date was the Domino I just didn't like the knife.

Favorite knife with a flipper is probably the mini kwaiken. I just got it so I need a little more time with it.

Zt 0566

My new horizon d cf edges out my Zt 452. Really authoritative... Russ

Perfect description for Reate's action.

I handled my buddy's Steelcraft Kwaiken....purely awesome flipper! It whoops the two flippers I currently have and that have been mentioned here -- ZT 0450 and ZT 0452cf -- in smoothness, IMO.

I've been trying to resist ordering that Kwaiken, though, because I'm waiting on the soon-to-be-released Steelcraft mini Bodega (3" flipper). Tough times, huh....LOL

In the $200 or so range there are a few standouts

ZT 800 series, ZT0452CF/0450, Reate Hills and D9

Out of all of those, my 0452CF, with a cleaning of the pivot and some lube, flips the smoothest of them all.

Skyline, need to buy another since I lost my last one awhile ago.

None really. In reverse grip flipper always gets in the way digs into palm and bugs the crap out of me. ZT makes a bunch of descent ones. 0301 feels the best in every grip that I've had and thats been quite a few. Best assisted opening knife ive had or liked. 0801's nice too. More or less done with flippers I believe unless something really catches my fancy. They do have a certain cool factor to them though. They are nice but prefer axis/lockbacks. Think like those Bokers up top cause looks like the flippers are cut down and out of way of palm/fingers.

Most satisfying flip and close by a mile is the Viper Vox Kyomi. That thing makes a nice noise on open and close.

Fastest and smoothest action is my ZT 0450. I carry this thing everywhere. Love it.

Love my 450, 452cf, 562cf, Brous VR-71, Domino and all black Southard......all literally amazing flippers!!

Still need to work in the detent a bit, but the action on this guy is amazing.

 

[City74]

So far in my knife collecting journey it's my ZT 0770

 

[Regen]

Easily the Skyline of all the knives I've handled. Just goes to show you don't need to drop 500 bucks for a good flipper

 

[sharp_edge]

another vote for zt 0801.

zt 0561 comes as a close second.

zt 0452cf is good too, but I feel the detent is a bit too strong for such a light knife.

 

[MaximIsayev]

ZT0561 is favourite flipper, Mantra comes pretty close, although I just got it an hour ago.

 

[Hackenslash]

I've gotta go with the Begg Steelcraft Kwaiken. Best flipper action of any of them. It flips like a monster and this comes from someone who has multiple flippers from all the usual players. When that thing fires out and locks into place, you know you've deployed a KNIFE!

My wallet keeps telling me I don't need the upcoming Begg Steelcraft Bodega...my heart keeps telling me I can't live without it!

 

[Charr]

Shirogorov 95T. Had this one for a good while now and I still haven't found anything that flips better overall. Has a superbly fluid and fast action to it, and the detent is strong without being at all abrupt or hard to flip in the slightest.

Hard to beat that!
