Quick Verdict

The Centauri front flipper by Ray Laconico delivers an excellent EDC experience with its versatile drop point blade and comfortable ergonomics. The S35VN steel provides good edge retention while the titanium and carbon fiber handle keeps weight manageable. Smooth ceramic bearing action makes deployment effortless, though the thin handle may not suit all hand sizes.

What We Like

  • Premium S35VN steel with good edge retention
  • Excellent ergonomics for extended use
  • Smooth ceramic ball bearing flipper action
  • Lightweight titanium and carbon fiber handle
  • Versatile drop point blade profile

Considerations

  • Thin handle may feel small for larger hands
  • Hidden lanyard post limits carry options

Overview

Description: The Centauri front flipper, designed by Ray Laconico, is a simple yet highly versatile design that really gets a lot of things right. It reminds us of the Jens Anso Solo design with its similar overall profile and clean lines offering surprisingly sophisticated ergonomics. You can really bear down on this knife hard and it will remain comfortable for an extended period of time, under a number of different grips. The drop point blade has a very sharp tip for stabbing and puncturing and a small amount of belly for slicing. The thin handle makes it easy to carry while the jumped thumb ramp and hidden lanyard post add to its usability. It's a nice combination of everything that makes for a good EDC blade and we look forward to more collaborations with Ray coming down the line.  Specifications: Blade Length: 3.46"(88mm) Blade Thickness: 0.13"(3.2mm) Blade Finish: Satin Blade Grind: Flat Blade Material: S35VN Blade Hardness: HRC60-62 Blade Material S35VN Blade Style: Drop Point Overall Length: 8.15"(207mm) Closed Length: 4.69"(119mm) Handle Material: Titanium+Carbon fiber Clip Material: Titanium Pivot Assembly: Ceramic Ball Bearing Weight: 3.7oz/105g Lock Type: Frame Lock
