Would you buy a Speedsafe Skyline?

[arskrg]

I know I would. The flipper action is fine, but a little extra oomph would be sweet!
Who's with me?!?!

 

[Bigfatts]

No. But a KVT Skyline? Heck yes.

 

[BenLong1018]

No the fact that the Skyline is manual is one of the many reasons I love it. Although it isn't the best flipper in my experience I would love some ball bearings.

 

[arskrg]

Didn't consider bearings. I'd be satisfied either way, though.

 

[WadeWilson]

No. But a KVT Skyline? Heck yes.

Just this please.

 

[K.O.D.]

KVT Skyline with Elmax please!

 

[craytab]

Nope. But the speed safe wouldn't have anything to do with it. I had a skyline. It was to lite use and small for my taste.

 

[Eodjuggernaut]

Nope.

 

[T_MAC686]

The skyline I bought back in 2008 still opens like butter using just my finger on the flipper so nope

In my experience, the speedsafe is only useful for larger knives like the ZT 0300's. On my 0566FDEBW the speedsafe seems to make the flipper heavy and stiff.

I have the orange and black blade Skyline. I like it thin, just like it is. Torsion would add another layer. Never noticed any problem opening it like silk.

Would you buy a Speedsafe Skyline?

NO, not my cup of tea.


It's OK at best as is, adding a Speedsafe system would not make it better.


Just one user's opinion.

What is KVT?

I am happy with my US made Zing and not a big fan anything Speedsafe.

Kvt is kershaw/Zt bearing system

I like the skyline as is but it kershaw could use a better blade steel on it.
