D_MazzI dont know if they still have any in stock, but for awhile BRS was offering production models of this knife (@$99) on their own site. Fully functioning but showing the country of origin (china) marked on the blade. I purchased mine around 125 when it was on sale, and I think it's a good price for the knife. I have considered getting a second in this drop.
As far as the flipper goes, the action on this is spectacular without one. You can easily open it with your thumb or flick it with your middle finger.
Laxnerd213Thanks for the response. Since I don’t urgently need this I went ahead and just got it from Drop. I’ve watched several videos and think it will be worth the wait.
D_MazzNot a bad idea. When I was looking for the BRS navajo last night, I actually came across a place that had the green one on sale for about $105, with the black and digi-camo versions priced about 10 bucks more. Chicago Knife Works I believe, and they also had the large thresher (both versions) priced at $139 as well.
