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

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.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

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? Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

I really like thumb studs. I had a spyderco with the hole and never cared for it. Seemed as though my thumb hung up on there. Really not a fan of autos either, which I know was not part of the question
