Perhaps after this legal battle is behind us can spyderco toy with incorporating a flipper to some knife design, but if not, it's perfectly understandable. I like them all ways (knives that is), flipper, thumb stud, thumb hole, disc (Emerson type).
I know now would be the worst time to introduce a flipper with the pending legal battle going on about the customs ruling. I posted this thread to encourage discussion. Seems like we have a good number of folks that wouldn't mind seeing a flipper, but also a good number of people that would prefer not to see one from Spyderco.
Spyderco flipper!
dont see a need for one but if there was it would be the RJ martin folding rampage

My OD-1 opens faster then any Spyderco I have owned, even if spydie dropped. That being said, besides self defence, there really isn't a need to open a knife that fast. I like it because it's fun to play with, however it is also hard to open in front of people because it flies open so fast.clovisc wrote:i feel like, aside from the "wave" feature, spyderdropping a tip down spydie is just about the fastest knife deployment possible... as well as one of the safest "fast open" options.
