Thank you! Love that funky thing. I was thinking about starting a Poliwog2 poll to see if there was interest.

Man, if only I could afford multiples at the moment, then I'd definitely give this a try on the 1, and keep another 1 and 2 regular... :p
That would be ideal! The flipper was growing on my tbh, but the handle was too uncomfortable for my hand. Its perfect now, almost as comfy as the caly 3 :D

Radioactive I believe sand it off to the point where it was flush when closed and open.
Hi guys, yup I sanded my Mantra flipper tab flush to the back of the scales. I first did it to the point Spencer has his but then proceeded to finish it a bit further. Note the remaining spot dives under the scales a wee bit when the knife is open, but I absolutely ensured that none of the lockbar interface was affected. As Spencer noted, the ergos are great on it now and I don't miss the flipper one bit! Cheers, Radioactive :)

Nice work! Fun to see 2 people going about it slightly different ways to get it done.
Now, someone should try the Lionsteel way, and drill and tap that flattened tab, and have a flipper nub that can be installed or removed as desired. :D
Did you guys disassemble to grind it off, to keep the debris out of the bearings?
What did you use to remove the material?
Going back to Caly.

I absolutely took the knife apart, taped the edge off, the whole nine yards. With my Dremel out of commission right now, what you're seeing is the result of a half hour of insane sanding and the decimation of about 8 brand new 120 grit sandpaper sheets! ;)
