Not sure what you call flipper but the GR-605 is not a flipper.
Also. with smaller knives, the effect of ball bearings diminishes, so not too many budget ones available.
I got mine a couple of weeks ago and haven’t taken it apart yet, so I don’t know for sure but looking at it, it look like bearings to me.
Yep, I forgot about those Fura, not my style but nice finds.
Thanks for the suggestions. The Gnome is a beautiful knife but out of my budget range. Sorry but the fura knives are not in my taste, too….something, boxy maybe?
Wish the gnome was cheaper
I do dig the Sanrenmu 7076 LUX-GHV, i will search for youtube reviews on it.
I thought a flipper is a knife you can flip open? Im not good at knife terminology. SOme of the enlan knives might fit the bill too, are they regarded about same quality as sanrenmu and ganzo knives?
Thank you for the answer.
I did mention “flipper” and at the time i didnt know what the defenition of flipper is…but i do now after some reading.
I dont care if its a flipper or not, i might even prefer a non flipper but not the end of the world either way. More than anything, i want it to have ball bearings in it and not longer than about 16cm.
What we typically call flippers is a knife that has a flipper tab at the back and that you open by pressing down on the flipper.
About Enlan, in my experience some are better than others, look at the EM-01 , I had it and it was a good knife and it should fit within your size requirements.
Funny youd mention, i do have a page open to the Enlan you mentioned. Its the size im looking for but doesnt mention ball bearings so it probably doesnt have it.
I like it regardless….and thanks!
No, this one definitely not.
I wouldn’t be so fixated on the bearings, there really doesn’t make that much of a difference on that size of knife, not enough mass.
Like I said, the 7076 doesn’t have bearings and is one of the smoothest small knives I’ve had.

The tangram amarillo is nice. Ball bearings 440c steel and a good edc size
Only thing i dont like is that it doesnt have a thumb hole or something like that, you got to use the flipper. The shape and design kinda reminds me of the gr605
