Spyderco Flippers?

#1

Post by Johnny Boy »

Are there any flippers? I haven't been able to find one that ever happenend. FTR I mean a flipper as in a leek or something not a bali.

It's just weird to me. I like spyderco stuff as a whole but, I would love a flipper. I thought maybe there is some legal issues with them and maybe there is but, I am seeing flippers at places like Wally world and they aren't exactly on the edge of the law.

It's not that I see any real advantage behind a flipper or any way to open a knife. It's just the cool factor.

There was talk about one a while back, but Spyderco hasn't jumped on that bandwagon just yet to my knowledge. At any given time the company has dozens of projects that they are working on, so you never know.

They are showing a prototype of a Brad Southard flipper.

The flipper is my second favorite deployment method, the Spyderhole being number one.
