Whats your favorite flipper?

My GTC Stampede SLT. The flipping action is simply amazing and it is a work of art.

I have 2 flippers, a Boker Mini Kwaiken Titanium and a Boker Urban Trapper Carbon Fiber. I can sit and play with the Mini Kwaiken all day long, the UT not so much. The Mini Kwaiken snaps open but the UT is a little slow. Out of the box the Urban Trapper would not open more than half way. I asked others about the knife and was told to try lubrication and a couple of drops of oil made a world of difference. It now opens quickly and has a smooth action but doesn't have the snap of the Mini Kwaiken. I think it has something to do with the lightness of the knife and the blade geometry but the Urban Trapper just can't compare with the Mini Kwaiken.
 
About to get a kershaw leek, seems decent. I know it is nowhere near the top, but the abalone handles were unpassable

I have had leeks, blurs, a 0566, a couple 0770cf's, a 0450, a Hinderer xm-18 slicer, a Kizer Gemini and by far the best flipper to date is my ADV Mini Butcher. Something about that design, maybe the size of the blade or the flipper design or the location of the flipper, I don't know, but it's great. Second, is easily the Gemini, love that knife.

Freeman 451. Liner and framelocks pinch the blade, a weakness they have to work hard to overcome. The Freeman and Buck 830 Marksman both flip better than any of the liner or framelocks I've handled, production or custom.
