By chance, are you able to share if there are any plans for a version with a thumb stud instead of a flipper tab? I usually carry a pen clipped on my pocket beside my knife, and have been having issues with flipper tabs leaving marks in the bodies of my pens while in the pocket. I like to carry pens that I make myself out of exotic woods on the lathe, and they don't resist flipper tab jimping very well.
Other than the flipper, I love the design of this knife. In particular, I really like that it's deep carry and tapers toward where the clip is. Seems like it'd be really easy to slide the hand past to get a wallet or whatever out of a pocket.
If anyone reading this happens to have a suggestion for a knife that meets the following checklist, I'd be eternally grateful:
1) locking 2) thumb stud or front flipper (or some kind of one-handed deployment that isn't a flipper tab) 3) good quality blade steel 4) deep carry clip (or 3rd party deep carry clips available) 5) narrow near the clip, so that it's easy to get a hand past when clipped to the top of a pants pocket 6) wood scales would be nice, but not a deal breaker. 7) Preferably tip-up carry.
I've been thinking about perhaps the Mcusta Gentleman's folder, or perhaps the Kizer Sliver. Just not loving the tip-down-only carry on the Mcusta. If money were no object, I'd say a Chris Reeves Mnandi is the closest thing to my "ideal" pocket knife.
And the second, I would love to see your pens.
Great! Please visit my website at www.excellentwoodturning.com. I've been wood turning since January 2017, and the website is a very new (and in development) addition. It's probably worth mentioning, the prices on my website are in Canadian dollars, and as I understand it, there can potentially be some issues in shipping products made with certain exotic woods across the border.
