Might finally pop my cherry with a Kizer (not literally, you animals!) as I’ve wanted this knife forever and have always been stopped by it being a front flipper/thumb hole. Good deal on it right now. This is the full size, the minis are $15 moar. 😳

@dhry Interesting, I’m wondering what you use these knives for? Genuinely curious

@josh9 Easy. One for EDC - every day carry, just in my pocket at all times.

The other 45 are for ibbidy, bibbidy and schwinkleschwonk.

In all seriousness though, they're cheap and fun to look at. We incorporated filipino knife fighting into our martial arts curriculum several years ago, I bought a knife and was weirdly hooked. I clean, oil, sharpen and fidget with them. And look at them. I'm nowhere near peak freak with them though. Not even close.

@dhry Fair enough!! Im sure the answer is no, but have they ever flipped open while in your pocket? I’m quite a clumsy guy and I think that’d be the sort of thing to happen to me lol I got a Milwaukee box cutter years ago and I enjoy using it here and there, nowhere as cool obviously but I can see the appeal

@josh9 No. They don't do this. There's actually a law in California (I'm not in CA) where if a blade can be opened by a push button, flick of the wrist (your example would qualify here) etc, then carrying one with a blade 2 or more inches long is a crime - https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/21510/ - "switchblade".

All of my blades except one (a Schrade Viper) open by using a thumb or another finger to manually flip it open - finger flipper, front flipper and so on. None of them open via gravity or wrist flick.

§ 21510 PC - Switchblades - California Law & Penalties

California Penal Code § 21510 PC prohibits you from carrying, possessing in public, selling or giving away a switchblade knife. This crime is a misdemeanor.
