The quick answer

We recommend the Kubey Mizo for carriers who want a refined, light flipper. Price $80.00; $64.00 with code SEBASTIANBASSOL (20% off). Best for everyday carriers who want a light flipper with a fine-grain stainless blade and a textured Micarta handle.

Our verdict

A 77 g flipper with a 14C28N blade and a blue Micarta handle.

We recommend the Kubey Mizo for carriers who want a refined, light flipper. A 3.15 inch beadblast 14C28N drop-point blade with vacuum cryogenic heat treatment at HRC 60 to 62 is 0.12 inches thick, a caged ceramic ball bearing washer smooths the flipper action, and a liner lock secures it. The blue Micarta handle is 4.05 inches long, the knife weighs only 77 g and a tip-up clip fits left or right pockets. At $80 it is a light, polished everyday folder.
