Massdrop collaboration front flipper? (I'd love to see one)

more_vert
I'd love to see a Massdrop collaboration front flipper style knife, something like the Gent, but in a front flipper style. I just don't think there are enough good front flipper style knives out there.

Since the Gereth Bull Shamwari was my Grail knife. A less expensive and more readily available version would be a great drop. I am very pleased with quality of all the knifes I've purchased. Your choice of builders is exceptional. Do it for us knife aficionados and loyal customers.

Brackett77That's awesome! Although I now own a Shamwari and Trapper, I might get whatever WE produces since they do such excellent work for other makers.

This is a great idea. Maybe something with Gareth Bull ...along the lines of a Shamwari.

According to GB on instagram, it would be around mid-year and purchased through Gareth Bull as they are now.

Hi_LloydI have the bladeHQ Boker Lancer with the s35vn steel and carbon fiber scales. Pretty nice for the price. I wish it had jimping on the blade spine where you press to open to make that easier. A Massdrop collaboration of that knife or style with brass washers or bearings and maybe 1/2 Ti frame lock 1/2 carbon fiber would be a pretty nice knife.

I'd like one...as long as there's at least an option for a lefty clip.

I'd love to see something like the Boos Smoke. Thin profile with a front flipper.

MaxwellDemonicThe Smoke should be live with a different steel within a couple of weeks, he ordered M390 this time or was planning on it last I heard.

I have some love for the front flipper. I only have two, the Kizer Feist and a custom. Absolutely beautiful. I really like the simplistic shape of the Feist... Though I have some aesthetic tweeks I would love to see.

DoHiI'll second the Feist. I can see one of those in my stable in the near future.

I think the Crux and Gent would both be killer front flippers, I'm down for an alternate version of an existing lovely knife.
The Dogtooth looks like it would be a decent frontal too.
And the Shamwari Jonas mentioned would be amazing to get as a high-end production, the Burger whatever that the Boker Exskellibur is based on would be great to see from WE or someone too.
Maybe Massdrop could talk Bill Boos into doing a (much larger than normal) batch of Smokes here, preferably the M390, but I bet you could offer to do the S35VN here to keep the price as modest as possible and to allow him to retain something special for the Smokes he sells.
I don't know if they'd be into it, but I'd love to do something like the Shamwari with Gareth & Jason Bull. https://www.instagram.com/p/BflLKGcBEa3/?hl=en
