Favorite Flipper Under $50?

[Runt1122]

Looking for recommendations on a flipper with a blade length of at least 3” under $50.

Steel Will would get my money. Whichever model speaks to you.

Nevermind...my Shallot cost more than what I thought. I didn't buy it.

I love the buck vantage avid

Kershaw Natrix 7007. Available for $33 from Knife Center (a forum sponsor).

Light, sharp and cheap. Very similar to the ZT0770 but far less expensive.

Under $50 I would say Kershaw Skyline
Runner Up/Honorable Mentions
CIVIVI Wyvern (based on WE experience never handled)
Steel Will Mini Cutjack
CRKT Swindle (Had this knife only slightly over priced avg $40 probably more suited to $30)

Steel Will Modus or Kershaw Concierge, both are pretty great for the money, IMO.

Another vote for the Atmos. Astounding $30 knife.

of what i own, either a kershaw chill (~$30) or a civivi backlash (~$45). both are really nice knives for the money. i the chill is thin and light, disappears in your pocket. the backlash is fairly stout, fit & finish are excellent.

Ruike p801 or the steel will cutjack are nice flippers under $50.

I like the Atmos suggestion.

If you are looking for something closer to 3.5" or larger... Bestech makes several well reviewed flippers with larger D2 blades that come in under $50. I would suggest checking out the Swordfish. It goes for about $50, but you can often find it for $40 if you're a little bit patient. It's a great knife, but with it's 3.9" blade, it is too large for me.

Thanks for the feedback! I just ordered the Atmos, it checked most of the boxes I was wanting.

Come back and let us know what think once you spend some time with it!

I've had one Modus, but let it go. Now I want another. Modus F25-12 is my favorite of the Modus family.

I just ordered one too, replacing my first attempt at a EDC which at 4.5oz made me not EDC.

Bestech Paladin or Lion - $40 and amazing action and build quality (D2 blade)

I have two, an F25-13 and an upgraded F25-71 (the CF + M390 version) and they're both great.

Definitely one of the Ontario Joe Pardue Utiliac Folding Knives.
