How far does the flipper stick out when closed, say, compared to the 0200 or 0350? It looks more prominent - is it more noticeable when in the pocket?

The flipper sticks out 5/16". I don't own the 0200 or 0350 so I can't say if it is larger, smaller or the same as those models.0561 is my every day carry and it is a quality knife that I have no complaints about. I own a lot of knives and this is one of my favorites.

Not familiar with 0200 or 0350. Beautiful knife, kind of large and heavy, but beautiful. I have some difficulty with opening it using the flipper. Supposed to get easier as you break it in, but hasn't happened yet.

I have both the 350 and the 561 and the 561 flipper is about 3/32" taller than the 350.

John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem. This is a larger knife however so you know you have it in your pocket but not in a bad way. If you need to get coins or lip balm out of your pocket you do need to pull the knife out in order to do so comfortably. That said I absolutely love this knife and as I mentioned in my original review it is worth the money. The flipper works great and you can present this knife is a flash if needed without the drama associated with a spring assist. I hope they continue to make this design for a long time to come as it is a great knife. John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem.

I'm not sure about comparison to the others but I measured it on the 0561 and it protrudes somewhere between 1/4" and 3/8". When clipped into my right front pocket with the blade in the tip-up configuration, the flipper lever is at the bottom of my pocket facing forward. It isn't at all uncomfortable and I have never had the flipper get pressed to open the blade.

I own a 350 and the flipper is maybe 1/16th in. longer in the 561, not really noticable until you measure it. There is some gimping on the back of the flipper of the 561 that I thought might have more drag when retrieved from the pocket but that did not pose a problem that was noticable to me. Hope this helps

Yes. I carry it in my back pocket while walking and have practiced reaching and taking it out and an accidental discharge would be unlikely. It isn't a flip top, there is a protective cover over the release lever. You have to stick your finger in the gap and press to discharge it. I think it is a good design.

As ROGND posted, it has a nice clip that is easy to pull in and out of pocket but it needs to be tightened. Mine is currently a little loose and the clip wiggles from side to side.

No. Pocket is not deep enough. Drill will fit but it will not be very deep enough to keep drill securely in pocket

If you actually use the pocket clip like most people do, no matter how careful you are, the edge of the rubber grip WILL catch and eventually pull off; Alex and Will have obviously never used the clip more than a couple of times. If you never use the clip it's a fine knife. I absolutely loved mine until the rubber pulled off. Eventually I'll make some wood scales for it and start using it again. For now I'm back to my Gerber 22-47161 Fast Draw. The only reason I like the FAST is that it locks closed as well as open; ugly as sin but completely utilitarian.

This has liner lock which is located in the blade cavity ( where the blade suppose to fold) .Move this liner lock towards the pocket clip side and fold the knife to close.some time the liner lock gone to far at the time of open in this case you may have to use some tool to push it back toward the pocket clip

MOST assisted knives have either a very stiff initial movement OR an additional lock function, that prevents the knife from accidentally opening when bumped in pocket. The plain jane flipper, IMHO, operates as quickly and even more reliably than assisters, if the blade bearing surfaces are smooth and well-designed. What concerns me about asssiteds is the boost of spring action provided, and then the need for an additional lock function besides the blade open liner or frame lock, which makes it additionally complicated and prone to various issues. The plain flipper doesn't move the blade unless one has actuated it with a finger. The assisted is one of those, why make it this way, types of questions from folks like me.

It hides the form of the gun a little bit. The more you use it the more the holster takes on the shape of the gun. I have used mine daily since August 2013 and you can see that there is something in my pocket, looks a little bit like a large wallet. If you have tight pants on it will be more noticeable. This is a great holster and I would recommend it.

I recently bought this for a trip along with the 8gb HD Flip and Amazon suggested I bundle with this case with the Flip, so I did, not realizing any of the previously mentioned issues. I got them both and the Flip does not fit snugly in the case, meaning you cannot control any of the buttons while in the underwater case. I have some thin packing material that i put around the entire Flip that makes it fit, but I'm not sure how it is going to hold up in the long run.

the knife has a lot going on......don't try to force it......try flipping upside down....I like mine better than my leatherman.

As Lyle said, it sucks. I can't actually use it to open the blade. The flipper works well though and with the SpeedSafe feature, the flipper is all you really need.

i have one and the pockets are open on both sides, which I did not like. However my pocket size measures 11 inches, but it comes out at the bottom for extra space to 14 inches. it is confusing.

panman45, I have already answered this question, yet I want to add, that the wallet does not stick out of the back pocket as the trucker wallets do. I was asking my friend that I got it for and he said that he liked it much better then the other, plus the chain is just right.

The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long. Closed it's a shade shorter than 3.5". The handle is wood over metal and so far I haven't had any issues with the wood. This is more on the style of a true "pocket knife." I don't know how it would hold up cutting wire but as a pocket knife I am very pleased. I normally carry a Buck Alpha with a 4" blade. It too is a good knife but if you are dressed up and feel like you're missing something when you haven't pocketed your knife then this is the knife for you. I might also mention that it holds an edge well. The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long.

It will no longer slip into a men's shirt pocket. I find it uncomfortable in a jeans pocket, but of course fine in khaki's. I use the holster, which I prefer anyway. My office mates mock my huge phone. I love it.

It is less then one inch around, however the pocket does have a nice habit of catching edges. I've never tried it but it does stay everywhere I've mounted it.

Hi Ryan! Our Flip View cases have one card holder pocket that is a different color from the rest of the case. As you mentioned, our black cases have a red card holder pocket, and our brown cases have a black card holder pocket. Our white case has a silver card holder pocket and also has a silver lining inside. I hope that was helpful! Thank you for your interest!
