I have been carrying a Spyderco flipper as EDC since February 2015. I have used it a lot - that's the purpose of an EDC in my opinion - but I've never flipped it open when I'm about to use it. Sure I've played around and flipped it open to try it out, but the Spyderhole is sooo much better.
I consider Flippers to be a showoff, just like a Butterfly. :-)

Of the Spydie flippers I have, only the Mantra's get carry time.

Re: Poll: Flippers
I have several (almost all) Spy flippers and some ZT. I really like flippers and I think that the opening system does not make a knife more aggressive than another, it depends more on the owner. I encourage Spyderco with the evolution of this system in their knives

Re: Poll: Flippers
I might eventually get a Mantra simply because I love the size and blade shape. Not really into flippers, though, as for folders I prefer the Spydie Hole/compression lock configuration to all others.

Re: Poll: Flippers
I love the elegant simplicity of the spydie hole,and i dont like to change ''gears'' all the time when opening a knife.So no flippers for me.
Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

Re: Poll: Flippers
Been carrying a flipper for the better part of a couple years. Works well for me. So does the hole. Never had one open in my pocket fwiw. Would buy another.
Re: Poll: Flippers
The Sliverax is the first flipper model that really interests me, plan to buy.
