Todd, he said he just got it the other day but it "just wasn't right" for him, the reason he said I don't remember. Personally I don't like flippers because the "Flipper) sticks out the backside of the knife when it's folded and that is just something I personally just don't like.

I guess I'm somewhat of a hoarder, I hate trading or selling anything. I spend so much time picking out something and then getting it, I can't get rid of it.

thanks Randy. me too. i really hope i can sell it. i gotta fund 3 pre-orders!

Toney, didn't mean to step on your toes with my response, just thought you had left again for a bit and I would just keep the conversation going.

3! Ouch!

Ahhh, I didn't remember that. I don't mind flippers, but I don't have any myself right now either. I'm wanting a Boker Turbine pretty badly, and it's a flipper.

But my next folder will probably be the HEST folder.

Todd, never heard of that one.

no prob Randy. you nailed it. once you hold a blade its just not the same as the pictures ya know? i mean i was kinda sad when i got it, its an amazing knife and i really want to keep it, but for how much i got it i have to be in love with this thing. i have the xm since monday and it hasnt kicked out the sebbie from my pockets yet.

Hey Toney, you could always grind off the flipper! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Randy, here is the Turbine. They made a Sig Sauer knife a few years back called the X1, same knife but branded Sig. I loved it and missed out on getting one, then found the Turbine without the Sig markings. Like it even more.
