      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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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!
