This knife is shockingly good, the blade steel has also been tested and confirmed to be D2.
I ordered a Ganzo FH11, with a carbon fiber handle.
So now I have three knives in the mail, coming from China.
(Two Gocomma knives and this Ganzo.)
You can grind down the flipper with a dremel to create a “hook” so as your pulling out the knife from your pocket, the hook latches onto your pocket and blade opens fully once the knife is pulled out.
The Quickest no effort flipper I have is a ~20$ Shir0g0r0v mini F3 clone which looks like this (except mine has different, Khaki G10 handle slabs) :
Ball-bearing. Not super lightweight though. YMMV.
Yes. As I said, the one I have is not the exact same. You know how it works with budget chinese knives, for one knife pattern you have dozens of brands. Also don’t trust the advertised blade steel.
Any decent knife with flipper and ball-bearings will be super smooth. Only with really bad knifes you need a wrist movement to open them. The latest Ganzos are great quality and with real D2.
Which one are you referring to? The FH21?
I just got a Cold Steel Large Luzon for 37 bucks.
It is a beastly blade but it is so very smooth opening.
The medium is almost as smooth and I got that for 30 and the medium is a bit more pocket friendly.
Those Cold Steel Luzon knives are huge!
I would probably go with the Medium, with the four inch blade. 
Just ordered the FH21. Damn you BLF!!!
The FH21 arrived. Seems pretty nice, alas, this is my first flipper, so I don’t have any point of reference.
That’s a good looking knife, where did you get it??
TIA
Hey, how y’all test whether/not a blade’s metal is as claimed?
Oh. So someone sends the knife out to a lab to get tested. That’s no fun.
Thought there’d be some “quick” way to test hardness, composition, etc., like assaying jewelry or something.
Your welcome. And thank you for the link. 
I am probably overlooking something…. but with this link I cannot find anything on the Ganzo/Firebird FH Series knives showing one has been tested as real D2.
I certainly hope they are cause I have some. :+1:
But has anyone got a link to substantiate that claim??
