I guess the flipper would win out for the "cool" factor. :shrug:

I had a Darrel Ralph flipper that was really cool, but too big overall so I sold it. I've got a few studs, and they are good, and a button knife, it is better. In FL if you have a weapons permit button knives are legal. Some states are LEO only.

I've got some of all 3 Mr. Clean. I like them all. Spyderco, CRKT, Kershaw, Benchmade, Buck etc. etc. They all serve a purpose.

From the few button knives that I have seen they are to complicated or possibly finicky. Other than the cool factor if it doesn't deploy when needed what is the use?

I have had a liner lock that wouldn't close after digging in the dirt for a root. I know that may sound weird but that is my EDC use. I am leaning towards buying a frame lock for a EDC. With a thumb stud. :shrug:

Say it wasn't in your plan for the day and while walking through the woods you spot some Ginseng.....

That is a nice size plant you say to yourself and it will fix all of my ills.:)

I have no shovel and of course I could carve one out of a branch but why not just use my knife?????

even though my EDC has a stud post, the Spyderco hole is really nice.
