ACU1839GDCF: Damascus Centauri 1939G-DCF Front Flipper Knife - Carbon Fiber
ArtisanCutlery
The Centauri front flipper, designed by Ray Laconico, is a simple yet highly versatile design that really gets a lot of things right. It reminds us of the Jens Anso Solo design with its similar overall profile and clean lines offering surprisingly sophisticated ergonomics. You can really bear down on this knife hard and it will remain comfortable for an extended period of time, under a number of different grips. The drop point blade has a very sharp tip for stabbing and puncturing and a small amount of belly for slicing. The thin handle makes it easy to carry while the jimped thumb ramp and hidden lanyard post add to its usability. It's a nice combination of everything that makes for a good EDC blade and we look forward to more collaborations with Ray coming down the line.

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Pocket Clip
Cons: None
Near Perfect
If your looking for a larger front flipper, with slim carry, that rides well in the pocket, and has beautiful materials, this is it. I have only had this for a day and I can't stop look at it. It's beautiful. There are a few down sides. I don't like their logo so having it on the blade is a bummer. The action is good but it is a little gritty, so it will need taken apart cleaned and lubricated after. Not uncommon for ceramic bearing knifes to need a break in. The jimping on the front flipper is too smooth for the relatively stronger detent. This causes your thumb to slip off during deployment. I'm gonna do 4 stars for a knife that will end up being 5 after it breaks in and I do few tweaks. I'm almost certain you will not be able to beat it for $200.
