The Wrinkle 2 is a quality knife. The blade steel holds a sharp edge and the flip open feature is smooth and fast thanks to the IKBS system. On the other hand, the handle has some design issues. The handle is thicker than it needs to be... think, "feels like twice as thick as the original Ripple with frame lock". Though this knife has thick aluminum slabs, it's not too thick as to be uncomfortable and is still light enough for edc. The Wrinkle design feature give it's handle a nice looking texture, but the feeling in hand is very smooth and almost slippery if not for the contours that give your 3 fingers purchase. Yes, if you wear size medium gloves or bigger, your pinky will be finding a spot to hold onto. Even with all these nit picks... the Winkle 2 is still worth considering because the sum is still greater than it's parts. Oh yes, the pocket clip. It's a Ken Onion knife, so it's weird but functional.Read full review

Good: Tight lockup, no play in either axis, flips smooth as glass and positively shoots out. IKBS in an authentic CRKt knife makes this better than the price would suggest. Bad: Only color available is melted-candybar brown. Right side, tip down carry is the only option. Ugly: Blade came with asymmetrical grind angles. One side is 17 degrees the whole length, the other is 17 degrees for half the blade...then meanders closer to 12 or so at the tip. Bought this knife hoping for a decent little flipper to keep my hands busy. It does that just fine, after removing the thick red grease and applying a couple coats of Militec-1. While it was apart, I counted the tiny 1/16th inch steel bearings. 18 on one side, 19 on the other. In my other genuine IKBS knives, it's been consistently 19 per side for 38 total. The detent hole in the blade was significantly chipped towards the lock-bar cutout. Tl;dr - Good flipper action with a little tlc. Odd design, middle of the pack AUS-8 steel. Lightweight and small enough to edc. Quality control must've been on a smoke break when mine rolled out of the factory, and unless replaced, I can't recommend it to potential buyers. Caveat emptor.Read full review

Beautifully designed knife. Extremely sharp blade, awesome pocket clip, makes for great carry. Lightweight, opens and closes very smoothly, Blade is perfectly centered. Wish the handle had a better grip and the jimping on the back of the blade held your thumb in place. I love the shape of the blade.

This flipper is a nice small knife. It is a thinner blade but the handle has some thicknesses to it. The blade moves with ease and rotates fully open with just a flick. The only draw back is that it is a pretty thick knife for the thickness of the blade.

This awesome knife must be seen live to appreciate its design, pictures make no justice. The good things are ergonomics, extremely smooth action, sharp, beefy, centered blade and relatively light weight (for a metall handles) which makes it great EDC. The best of all with that brown scales is that nobody would take it if you loose it - it would been mistaken for something else lying on the ground :-) The negative things are a goofy pocket clip, handle grip and the jimping (on the back of the blade) could have been better. And the size is the matter of your preferences of course, but it is smaller than it looks.
