I too am addicted to front flippers lol. These are some of my favorites so far: 1) Berg Blades Mini Sweeney 2) Pena Paramour 3) Arkona Buran 4) Vero Axon Linerlock 5) Jack Wolf After Hours Jack
@Knife_Life_EDC86 yeah I would stay away from the ultem one scales crack easy from the screws. Carbon micarta or full titanium is the way to go. He also sells a sweet zircati clip.
Great front flippers man! I have the Varatas and the Lush and they are both fantastic. The Varatas flipper works perfectly for the regular thumb front flip, and equally well for the index finger roll. The lush is great for the regular front flip but that jimping makes the index roll painful AF if you don’t do it right 😂 however IMO the top flipper makes up for it easily, you can essentially use it like a traditional flipper by just putting your index finger on top of it and pulling back. Mine did have a pretty light detent, it worked but I bent the lockbar over a bit to provide a bit more spring tension pushing the detent ball in and it’s much more satisfying now! The lush is probably my favourite knife overall in my whole collection right now. I have the exact same one you have there The dachshund looks good, very tempting - although I am trying to stay away from crossbar locks - the omega springs just love to break on me 😅 I have a bunch of spare ones but it gets old replacing them on at least one of my crossbar locks on a semi-regular basis
The Lush is the one knife that always finds it way into my pocket or just one I tend to flip when I'm working at my desk. The Dachshund is a great knife but I have heard of the tab breaking on someone which I thought was weird but I understand the omega springs. I haven't had any problems with mine but I hear all the horror stories. lol
