the front flipper is very good, and easy to use. the blade came with a nice thin edge behind the grind. I like how CIVIVI makes their knives with a option for L side pocket clip too. Lockup is solid on mine with lots of room to wear over the years that this thing will be in my collection, even though it is a bit small for my big hands. I like it so much it will be one of the main standby knives that I carry.

I'm not a fan of front flippers, but if you want to practice a different opening method this model has a reasonable price and the typical We/Civivi quality. The detent seems appropriate for easy opening. The pocket clip is noticeable in the hand, even when not cutting so be aware of that. This has a very mild trailing point blade, and that's a positive since severe trailing points have limited edc use. Can't speak to the quality of the steel yet, but the stonewash finish is very nice. In general, this is a solid little knife.
