Agree. I've always enjoyed when he would pop in (I'm pretty sure he has been at bhq for a lot longer than people realize), but he is really stepping it up. Kurt, too. Honestly, I loved Zac, but he had a BIG personality and I feel like he was a little overbearing (like, there were many times Kurt would be talking and Zac would interrupt him, take the knife out of his hand, and start talking over him). So, it's been cool to see Kurt have more presence to talk and be a goof.
Hell yea Jamie!! Keep it up man.. you are finally getting comfortable in the big boieee chair! Whoever told you to just have fun and freaking smile a little bit while doing the Banter should get a raise!! But anyway you and Kurt are killing it and I love watching you guys at the desks. While Zac will be missed of course we must enter a new era ... the “Jamurt” Age is upon us!! Love you guys ! Keep doing you!!
I swear I've seen alot of BLADEHQ videos...but that was...AWESOME!...O man. One look at Jamie and you know he is a badass...but Kurt flips out as a superhero!
Hi bhq! It’s cool to see kirt fiddling with the kizer feist that I got very recently in the same green configuration. Thank you so much for showing so many cool tools!
Jamie n’ Kurt! You guys are finally getting into your stride! I am enjoying your interactions .....and you both seem more natural and at home, in the banter episodes! Please get more balisongs in your videos. Bring Kyle back, and have him sit in!!!! Please speak to the differences between bearing & bushing/washer type flippers....and also sandwich vs channel balisongs! I really don’t know why knife vendors don’t capitalize on the huge interest in balisong? Is it that polarizing?!? I carry EDC knives and also balisongs......and a good butterfly knife has awesome lockup for processing cardboard! C’mon.....this is the elephant in the room. Sales figures don’t lie Keep up the good work!
No, the dislikes are from the car guys who watched them leave the civic analogy which could have tied into how the base model is a great regular car and then the type-r is for real enthusiasts only to go Ford focus, (which the base model is meh) and saying the performance version was the "STi" which is a great car, but a Subaru product...
I think Kurt thought nobody would catch it when he said, "We were talking about flipping." right after Jamie said it was awkward that he was trying to flip with his middle finger.
Here to add another vote for the McKenna. I am a major front flipper fan, and let me tell you, this civivi has the best ff action of any knife I have handled. It is so crisp and firm that I often times do a "matchstick open" on my jeans. Second to it is my Peña X Series Dogleg (some would say that is more of a top flipper). The crjb Maileah is also nice. The crkt dually could have been a good keyring gadget, but I had to grind off the bottle cap opener which was a sin against good design. I am waiting on my civivi lumi, another Justin Lundquist design, but also a top flipper. On my cart I have the reverse tanto feist, the appalachian drifter II
I have the 1st 3 knives in the video and love them all! Have a BLADEHQ exclusive fiest. It is my tuxedo knife, very James Bond like. Also have the BLADEHQ exclusive lrf and that gets the most pocket time. Best fidget knife I own. After the video I grabbed my latest front flipper for the weekend...exarch, BLADEHQ blue. Thanks for starting my weekend off right!
If the title has "Best front flipper" and there is not an Enrique Pena knife in sight. Do you even front flip? lol, j/k. Pena's knives, even the production X Series are amazing though.
These guys can sell the hell out of a knife. Enough so I even paid extra for 2 day shipping lol. Pulled the trigger on a civivi exarch in dama/cf a couple days ago.
From a guy who has shorter than normal thumbs, I carry a tip down with thumb stud. In my opinion I would think that these front flippers would benefit from being tip down to avoid having to re-adjust the knife every time you take it out of your pocket just to open it. I get the fidget factor. But does the practicality make sense? I've never owned or even handled one so I may be wrong. But it just seems like it would be more practical tip down.
I have a Gerber jukebox and I find popping it off leg opens it up really nice. I don't if it's cause of the extended tang or if you can semi wave any front flipper
Mad props to Kizer. I ordered a Friday special Feist, and UPS lost the entire order, so Kizer refunded everyone and gave them a 30% discount for anything of theirs on Amazon. I ended up getting myself a Maestro, and when they eventually found the order, they reached out to the original purchasers to reorder if you wanted. So I got an S30V with a cool G10 scale for $100, and a Maestro for 30% off. I was pretty stoked!
Now that I think of it, maybe CRKT should of made the CEO flipper with the front flipper? Just personal opinion since looking at all the front flipper folding knives, I don’t see the stud that are seen like on the other normal flipper knives.
I'm a year late to see this video, but...STi is Subaru! Focus is made by Ford. Don't insult all the scoobie fans out there like that. The rest of the video was great. Awesome double open!!
Lätt vind is probably better translated to easy breeze or light wind, lätt is both light as in lightweight and easy In swedish. Great show and I support jamie in his attempt to fill zachs size 15 workboots
10 internet points to anyone that can find the disappearing ghost dog... 😉
Ghost Dog is a great movie. That is all.
Bring the real OGS back

@@somoza8121 If I boycott them then I don’t get any exclusives.
@13:23, between Cowboy Kurt and his pet donkey. 🤠🐕🦄 🤣
Jamie literally said that the Ford Focus. You can get the regular version and then you can get the STi....as in SUBARU TECNICA INTERNATIONAL.
Came to the comments to see this. Happy you did not disappoint:) lol
I mean, they're both shit tho
A commendable effort Jamie, but Kurt's front flip was just perfection.
I don’t comment on youtube videos, but Jamie went the extra mile with that front flip. Respect bro.
Jamie is killing it, I'm impressed at his development in front of the camera
Agree. I've always enjoyed when he would pop in (I'm pretty sure he has been at bhq for a lot longer than people realize), but he is really stepping it up. Kurt, too.

This didn’t age well
Soon as he gets going good on camera he leaves BladeHq
Hell yea Jamie!! Keep it up man.. you are finally getting comfortable in the big boieee chair!

Nothing against Jamie, he's doing a fantastic job. But I miss Zac 😔
😖
I miss BEN
Can we have 10 hosts at 1 time I need this
What happened to them???
Zac was my favorite, at least Kurt will make Jamie look good
The CIVIVI McKenna is one of the greatest FFs of all time. The Kizer Genie is up there too.
The McKenna rocks! Surprised it didn’t make the list.
They gotta sell underrated product and make profits.
A list of front flippers without the McKenna is a sad thing...
@@VforVolusia Mckenna is out of stock, maybe that's why? I will be buying one as soon as they get them back in stock.
Yep, end of the day, they have to push what’s in stock. McKenna is greatness
That we opus actually is chisel ground. It just has a swedge on the flat side that makes it look unusual.
Love me some front flipper action! Kizer Feist and CIVIVI McKenna are two of my favs.
What a dope episode of Knife Banter. Kurt and Jamie did a dope job. lol
Hi bhq! It’s cool to see kirt fiddling with the kizer feist that I got very recently in the same green configuration. Thank you so much for showing so many cool tools!
Holy crap! Jamie CAN front flip!
Great Job Guys. 🐺🦊🐺
Okay y’all killed the intro
Kurt is the king of front flippers lmao
The old Colorado Rockies hockey hat!!!! Hell yeah!!!
Jamie n’ Kurt! You guys are finally getting into your stride! I am enjoying your interactions .....and you both seem more natural and at home, in the banter episodes!
Please get more balisongs in your videos. Bring Kyle back, and have him sit in!!!!

Keep up the good work!
The front flip in the field 😂😂😂 so amazing
Back for another awesome Blade HQ video
I've got a Boker LRF and a Civivi Exarch. Will be getting a Feist someday. Love my front flippers. IIRC Reel Steel makes a cool one, too.
Awesome episode!
I came here to see that LRF flip. Got myself a BHQ exlusive brass LRF from Böker and I am loving it! :D
7 dislikes are the ones who couldn't flip like kurt. Love the intro
seems like 26 people cant flip like kurt
@@dustoniuspollywogus8105 i know man. They're just mad
No, the dislikes are from the car guys who watched them leave the civic analogy which could have tied into how the base model is a great regular car and then the type-r is for real enthusiasts only to go Ford focus, (which the base model is meh) and saying the performance version was the "STi" which is a great car, but a Subaru product...
@@stalgy4u Yep. As a Subaru guy that got my down vote.
I was literally drooling over the custom swayfront
I like the idea of front flippers it’s pretty sick!
Dang...loving that CF Feist! Might have to give my McKenna a front flipping brother.
4:36 Ah yes, the Ford Focus STi, as car guy who also likes knives, great analogy, as a Subaru guy, slightly insulting. 😂👌
Love my Feist in Titanium and S35VN as a gentleman’s knife. The front flipper is such a classy look.
I think Kurt thought nobody would catch it when he said, "We were talking about flipping." right after Jamie said it was awkward that he was trying to flip with his middle finger.
Was that supposed to be funny
@@AudibleVisibIe Middle finger flipping. Yeah, it's funny to me.
Here to add another vote for the McKenna. I am a major front flipper fan, and let me tell you, this civivi has the best ff action of any knife I have handled. It is so crisp and firm that I often times do a "matchstick open" on my jeans.
Second to it is my Peña X Series Dogleg (some would say that is more of a top flipper).
The crjb Maileah is also nice.
The crkt dually could have been a good keyring gadget, but I had to grind off the bottle cap opener which was a sin against good design.
I am waiting on my civivi lumi, another Justin Lundquist design, but also a top flipper.
On my cart I have the reverse tanto feist, the appalachian drifter II
You had me rolling when you say Kirk shows us how it's done.
The Realsteel Metamorph and CJRB Maileah are both really nice budget friendly front flippers as well! Definitely worth checking out.
yessss!!!!
im watching this during zoom school, i couldnt miss it!!
Great to see Kurt in a lot of these!
My first( and only atm) front flipper was the crjb maileah . It’s definitely a fidget friendly piece that opened the door to front flippers.
Wish yall would promote more made in America knives
Everyone talking about missing zac while I'm here missing BEN!
I wanna see Austin
Kurt has some parcour skills
Yes, he does! 👍
Man! I got the Exarch and was quite proud of my flipping, but your index game is on dude! A goal to reach
Loved the shenanigans
I literally just bought an otf from yall like 5 minutes ago
Surprised no pena front flipper on the table
I have the 1st 3 knives in the video and love them all! Have a BLADEHQ exclusive fiest. It is my tuxedo knife, very James Bond like. Also have the BLADEHQ exclusive lrf and that gets the most pocket time. Best fidget knife I own. After the video I grabbed my latest front flipper for the weekend...exarch, BLADEHQ blue.

Nice front flip Jamie
Damn Jamie, that front flip was all you? Great video like always.
Gosh I love BladeHQ videos!
The McKenna got me hooked on front flippers. Fidgeting with my boos mini smoke watching this
If Brad Zinker is watching, I would love a front flipper urban trapper! Just sayin'
If the title has "Best front flipper" and there is not an Enrique Pena knife in sight. Do you even front flip? lol, j/k. Pena's knives, even the production X Series are amazing though.
The answer is no.
Easily one of the best intros yall have done
Can you guys please do a "Best Tip-Down Folders" episode?? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Kurt convinced me to get the Feist from the micarta video. No regrets at all, amazing knife.
The best version of Kurt is *A-L-W-A-Y-S* the horse head with ham hands, baby. 🐴 Stay well.
Front flipping is my favorite...boss!!! Especially when you have a good one..
The busker & whippersnapper are the 👑
That Bestech Ivy is friggin sweet! Probably not the best hard use knife but that thing is beautiful!
wish you both had a ruler attached to the table during close ups. for us who dont have baby hands, it'd be nice for scale.
I’m lovvving these edits
Pretty cool WOW idea, let’s have a look the blade hq knife library 👍👍👍 - Kyle
Missed a perfect opportunity to mention the Reate Bushido and the tribute. Two of my favorite production knives front flippers.
Bestech Shinkansen is another very well put together front flipper !
Edits on point!
Damn, KTV has some hops!💪💪🏝
Nice camera work and editing on this one.
That was awesome!!!!!!! Great job
Gotta say...... the energy. OMG! Paint drying is more exciting.
Kurt! Kurt! Kurt!👹
Nice Altra shoes Jamie!

Never owned or tried a front flipper but this makes me want to. Also Kurt with the dope hat game again 🙌 🤟 👒🥳🧙♂️🎩👲⛑🎓🤠👷♀️🧢
No Civivi McKenna? 😨
Now that I think of it, maybe CRKT should of made the CEO flipper with the front flipper? Just personal opinion since looking at all the front flipper folding knives, I don’t see the stud that are seen like on the other normal flipper knives.
Is blade hq a good website to buy from? I was wanting a Balisong Knife but wasn't sure where a good place to get one would be.
"Uh yeah, I'm looking for a Toyota Civic STI"
Can yall have Taylor Martin or Talon Sei host a Knife Banter...or both?????
Nope
Kurt got Skillz
Love the overall look of the Boker Kansai. Such a sleek good looking knife.
I'm a year late to see this video, but...STi is Subaru! Focus is made by Ford. Don't insult all the scoobie fans out there like that. The rest of the video was great. Awesome double open!!
The black void opus is a full chisel grind. Completely flat on one side
Civivi is a very good looking knife!!!! Might get one from you guys.
No Metamorph or McKenna?
Haha this video is hilarious!
well timed !
2021 Ford Focus STI with a boxer engine now
I have a Kizer SS1. Just tried the index finger flip. I'm sure the bleeding will stop soon...
The Spyderco Shaman is a front flipper too!
Lätt vind is probably better translated to easy breeze or light wind, lätt is both light as in lightweight and easy In swedish. Great show and I support jamie in his attempt to fill zachs size 15 workboots
Gareth Bull shamwari king of front flippers!
Kurt is literally the opposite of Ben when it comes to front flipper skills
Ford Focus STI boyzzzzz
I don't get why people say front flippers are so hard. They're easy.
just bought a micarta fiest
Heck yes! 😎
What do you guys do with all the knives you test?
Now wait a minute. Gerber Jukebox, why is it not there. That thing has a massive front flipper.
It's a video about the best front flippers. Not a video about the cheapest.
