Happy Front Flipper Friday to all who celebrate.
Despite the fact that I tell myself I don't even really like front-flippers, they keep showing up at my house.
A true cry for help, I think.
Today's Front Flipper is the Ray Laconico designed, CJRB Ekko
This version has CJRB's budget powder steel AR-RPM9, 3.25" (8.26 cm) in length with green micarta scales. The micarta is very smooth and, depending on opening method, can feel a little slippery but I've not had any real issues.
Straight spine with a nice deep swedge ground out at the front.
Perfectly centered out of the box with really great action.
I like the fact that it's a sheepsfoot with a little bit of belly on it. I like the fact that you can easily spydie-flick it open (and are not forced to use the front flipper).
It's not an out-of-this world knife but a nice solid choice. I got it used, as I do most of my knives these days, and so the price was really good. Looking forward to putting this into the EDC rotation.

Been looking for a design like this but with a tanto style blade. Can't seem to find one

You might consider the Civivi Nugz which is a reverse tanto, I guess but not a "regular" tanto. Otherwise the Civivi Brazen is the go-to tanto but it's thumbstud and not thumb hole.
Edit: on the edge (pun intended) of being a true tanto, CRJB is also going to be releasing the "Bellona"
The curve of the leading edge might not be to your liking however.
