Spyderco Mantra - Their Flipper Design Lacking 03/30/2018
By Shawn Spencer
Spyderco is a quality manufacture of top notch pocket knifes, for sure, but I was really hoping for a little better deployment of the blade for such a finely crafted tool. The flipper design, when designed correctly, is by far the fastest and most efficient means by which to deploy a blade.

The flipper design on the Mantra model, I have to say, is less than adequate. With a lot of practice you may be able to get it to open completely every time you need it to. If there were perhaps some kind of assist mechanism to help it more easily and completely open, I might not have felt such buyers remorse after spending $180 on it.

I can honestly say that I have $10 knives that deploy far better. Spyderco has missed the mark here. If all of the Spyderco flippers open in the same manner as this one, they need to go back to the drawing board or perhaps just spend a couple of extra bucks to add a relatively inexpensive spring that would allow their flipper blades to open more rapidly, effective
