Laconico/Kizer Gemini Flipper (Ki3471) is on the street!

I just got mine in today. I will say I am impressed as this is my first experience with Kizer. Detent is almost perfect IMO, knife is smooth but not as smooth as I would like it. My ZT 0808 is a lot smoother and the blade falls on its own weight vs the Gemini not so much even with a lil wrist nudge. I will oil it up and check again but so far knife is nice and I am impressed for a China made knife. Knife has great lockup, dead center blade and no play what so ever. I just wish I was able to afford a GENUINE Jasmine from Ray, alas this is the closest I will get.

If anyone is on the fence about it, I would highly recommenced it. I definitely like the Kizer Gemini more than the Sypderco Positron which is a lighter option if you can get over that hard to get to liner lock. My hand are med/large according to latex glove manufacturers. I can get a FULL 4 finger grip on the Gemini vs the Small Seb its ~3.75 finger grip. Only ding I have on the Gemini is I wish there was some gimping on the spine or frame like my Small Seb.

As requested I have a small seb insingo that I quickly took a snap for a size comparison hope it helps. Excuse the cell phone pix I am a bit behind on tech and still using a GS4.

It's funny you say that about the ZT 0808. That was nice I was first intrigued by until I came across the Gemini. Disappointing to hear yours won't flip open without wrist action. Hopefully a little oil or cleaning will help the situation. Keep us updated!

Thanks for the pictures!!

Could anyone tell me what distance it is between pocket clip's holes (center to center) on the Kizer Gemini?
Would like to buy it, but i want a deep carry pocket clip, and i don't know if those you can purchase on amazon would fit in.
