I was surprised not to see a hinderer feom mc

[@metal_complex]

Ya it just isn't all that great. The shape of that flipper tab kills hinderers

[@DarkEagleR11]

Have you had a chance to try a Eutsler?

[@jarrettm3728]

@DarkEagleR11 no i am not a big frame lock guy

[@sloanNYC]

You crack me up. More attainable but many are over $1,000 (cheapest is $400?)! Your enthusiasm for this stuff just works man.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

Once you eclipse that $400 mark, it’s hard to go back lol

[@JA-vw2wy]

I factor in availability higher when judging attainability. Anyone can buy a $1,000 knife that's always in stock. Even the people who say they can't afford it. You can save up for a year if necessary but you "can" still afford it.

It's only a knife

[@metal_complex]

​@scubasteve7191 not all knives are created the same way

[@pipe_dev_null]

I own four Chaves 229’s, two of them with kickstop, and they are absolutely my favorite knives to flip. I have smaller hands and the size, the feedback, the detent, everything about it feels so perfect and satisfying. And you’re the reason I started buying them, lol.

[@GLOCKsh00ter24]

I love these types of videos. The best flipper action in my collecting is the VC Edge Interface. That thing is insane, like a nice trigger on a rifle with how it breaks.

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

You have some of the coolest toys in the whole neighborhood. My envy is at the top of the scale, for sure. I love your videos.

[@Mikey_Trailz]

Would love to see a Front Flipper top ten! Thanks MC!

[@fredp1983]

Why not a thumb stud top ten too

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

@@fredp1983 +1 on both from me Just getting into knives for real, as previously, I just would buy a Kershaw filter or a gerber zilch So going from those, to a Sencut Hororis has been night and day Gonna get an elementum next

[@48mastadon]

That Skiff knife is absolutely beautiful.

[@TerminalM193]

I wish that you would maybe do flipper categories as far as price goes like best budget, best mid, best high end, best custom. Dope Beserk reference by the way! ⚔️

[@anchorass]

Need a top 10 best sounding knives list!

[@jakescoolstuff22]

I knew the F3NS would be in this lineup. It’s on another level entirely. The Evos Brian made are amazing also.

[@turtle08ad]

Love the content! I’m also from Kansas (Wichita)! I love my Feweed from Kizer. Easily the smoothest knife I’ve dealt with so far. I know it’s quite a bit under the budget scheme you chose for the video wether intentional or not haha

[@BrockOfBodom]

I just got a secondhand UEDC Exclusive 229 Kickstop, and it’s such a unique feel. It’s absolutely fantastic

[@chrisdiaz7615]

I really want the We/GTC collaboration!

[@77kjg]

I saw a knife awhile back that was a front flipper were the gipping went from the front to back. Made it easy to use the index finger to front flip instead of the thumb like cracking a lighter on. Anyone know the knife I'm talking about?

[@christiantvernon9682]

Even though I love collecting knives, the most expensive one I own is about $500 and that was a birthday present. As much as I’d love to splurge on a custom or one-of-a-kind knife for over $1,000, I just can’t bring myself to do it. It blows my mind, especially when I think about the fact that I own guns that cost as much as some of these knives! You definitely have some beautiful knives I’ve never heard of Herman knifes before but omg absolutely beautiful craftsmanship even for $2000+🥴🥴

[@CristoffelBonorand]

I knew from the beginning which one would be nr. 1 😅. But the Skaha 2, yes! Totally get it. It was my most surprising discovery of last year!

[@codybroadway8496]

I liked this I’d love a video of best dual deployment action. I’m at a point where I need to take a break for my budgets sake but I’m looking for my severance pop in essence something substantial to hold me over for the next 6 months or so

[@Bearded_Ham75]

That Herman has the coolest flipping sound I've ever heard on a knife

[@silasking6279]

I absolutely love my SBDs! Got a front and normal flipper, and I don't know which I like more.

[@TheJaeMan]

I can hear the "double click" on the slim. It's like the "click,bang" of a muzzle loader if you've ever fired one. I hear it in the last knife, too.

[@Monsoonpain]

Most Of this list is out of budget for most average folks....but they are a very fine selection, classic, and beautiful

[@lucasgolden2115]

I got a mini Evo Typhoon this year and the action is just another level man. Love it.

[@john103180]

Olamic Wayfarer 247 would be in my list! Probably tied with the Mini Evo.

[@davidgordon7225]

Metal Complex, how about the winter blades factor, or something from his collection, its flipper action using a magnet detente. Would that stack up to any of your top 11?

[@xRebel151x]

I was waiting for the SBD’s. I 100% agree🔥

[@colinclarke9379]

WE Nefaris is the best flipper in my personal collection. That sound of that maxace is sweet 🔥

[@jpolhamus71]

Great line up! I agree skiff's knives are not talked about enough i think they are great. I dont have the fugitive but i have and love the drifter.. love Herman knives. I have the slim and sting i definitely want a dragonfly

[@alexandregraulle607]

I love the Chaves. Bjt i like the blade of the firdt one ..! ^^

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

Totally agree that any Shirogorov and Herman can be on the list. I like the Brian Nedeau flippers; all of them, but the Typhoon is my fav. Similarly, the high leverage on the Vero Synaps family of knives is amazing. An oldie but goodie, the ZT 920. Les George knows how to make a heavy harmonic on a knife's 'thwak'. I like the unique feel of the Zieba S5 too. I feel this list could be a top 100.

[@CaptSeeryus]

Been out of the knife world for a few years but now getting back into it. Wow... knives made in China caught up to USA in prices. I know they can make excellent quality pieces, no doubt about that, but still... never thought I'd see $400 MIC folders.

[@timnichol6566]

Great list. Agree with the skaha II. I would of put the we nefaris on the list for sure.

[@Mike-mi3yw]

I just got the sharp by design mini evo typhoon for 310. Glad I waited to get the price down. It is fantastic, love it!

[@NCCoder]

I was able to get one of the Sharp by Design Typhoons, and it surprises me just how light it feels.

[@MikeJ602]

Feel like you read my mind. I had been avoiding flippers for so long that I want one again.

[@matthewhall8790]

Thanks! could you do a budget flipper rundown?

[@Spthomas47]

The vosteed nightshade would def be on that list. Well, I think so lol ✌🏼🤘🏼

[@richcampbell-ri1mo]

I was betting the Varga VBR would have made it. Still love the list. Keep doing them!

[@ILYxIW]

How do these compare to the Curtiss F3? A lot of people say it’s the best flipper in its price range.

[@devinallin7170]

I love how just the sound of the Herman makes it one of the best. Do you have a Holt? I know you have handled them, just wondering if it would make this list.

[@chasesyverud8984]

could I also throw in the Olamic Wayfarer 247? Insane flipping action IMO.

[@jarman_2000]

I have the same timascus mini evo that you have but the detent feels somewhat weak... Unless I got a dud, I'd only agree the the mini evo action is the best if the detent was heavier. Of all my flippers, It's the only knife I feel a need to overcompensate with my flipping strength to ensure a successful deployment. I won't deny the the quality of the knife is next-level, but I was rather disappointed in the detent strength and flipping action overall. Is this just part of that unique action, or did my mini evo come in with a slightly weaker detent?

[@SES5925]

Anyone know the best website to purchase Miguron knives from other than amazon?

[@alwaysforward28]

agree with these. what about the holt morpheus?

[@rami3063]

I think you forgot one…the winterblade factor. It’s one of the most unique flippers (if you consider it one) with the most satisfying sounds I have heard on a knife.

[@Pete_Fish]

Great List, Thanks MC 😎

[@zbaird3]

Luv when the nice boys come out!!!

[@maybefrank8345]

Nice, now can we have a “10 best flippers that have a price tag within this atmosphere?”😭

[@lord.needham]

BBK Yeager M V3 is my current fave. SBD is also great.

[@wniofpxox_leah9930]

I like #7 wanna get one what the name and who's made it

[@anthonyberardi8904]

Oh man those SHIROS 👌

[@martinbose7163]

I didn't start to think about this until part way through, but I found it very frustrating that none of at least the top 5 (and possible more) can be used as an EDC by a lefty! So how about doing a top 10 or 11 of good quality flippers that can be left-handed?

[@HarryBallsich]

There was an arch nemisis up for sale on a popular resale site. Went for 3,050. Some new ones will be for sale soonish according to Brians Instagram. Problem is the will also sell for 3-4k each if they are anything like his other auctions for his typhoons.

[@Southernknife_addict]

The mini evo typhoon is the best detent/flipper action they ever did

[@JA-vw2wy]

I couldn't guess #1 but kicked myself when I got there. Makes sense. I love mine and completely agree. So underrated today I think.

As I'm watching the count down I'm saying to myself where's SBD on the list. And I gotta say I agree that Brian's detent nub is fantastic and makes for a great flipping knife.

[@bionick4281]

9.9/10 on slap 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lorenfuchek105]

I think the Holt Morpheus could be up there with any of those choices. It's similar to the Herman in a way.

[@mikereese15]

Is sugarov the same as shirogorov😂 Jist kidding. That arma is definitely one of the next on my list to get. Must have.

[@Sal_car88]

The impossible to fail Pro-Tech Malibu isn't on the list? It's one of the top 5 best flippers ever.

[@metal_complex]

I own it and honestly I don't think it's all that great. Sorry

[@maybefrank8345]
