The flipper has much better ergonomics, the original feels more sturdy though. Flipper is super easy to use. The original with the stud takes some getting used to, your thumb can hurt after opening it repeatedly. Flipper is definitely better if you’re only intending on light usage, original is better if you want something a little bit heavier duty although it comes at a cost to ergonomics.
I couldn’t resist the original for about 28 USD on Amazon out the door. Should he arriving tomorrow. I’ve had this on my radar for a while, fingers crossed. Thanks for the review!!
My flipper pops out effortlessly. Never had it hang up once. Id bet if i opened a flipper ten times and you opened the original ten times id have a faster cumulative total.
I like my flipper , but it's far from my favorite knife lol. It's great for it's purpose, something that doesn't stand out and it's easier to carry in situations my etc which is a fix blade custom Damascus bushcraft knife, or my larger folder secondary knife. This knife is cool for weddings or social events that require dressing up or for working in a office or something. It really js a cool little pocket knife, but that is what it is, a pocket knife.
"glorified letter opener" I want anyone who says that to look at the clip point in a medium stockman, and explain the uses of all three blades relative to their thin stock and size, before complaining about the ceo's blade, especially the thicker original. Such a silly criticism.

I don’t think you’ve looked around too much then, especially if the CEO is your favorite knife.
