This Thumb Stud Works!
I received a Benchmade Mini-Taggedout knife as a gift, but I had trouble using the slit on the top of the blade to open it, so I installed a brass Kwik Thumb Stud. Well, the knife looks garish enough with its orange handles, and the brass thumb stud made it look like a Mardi Gras throw, so I ordered a stainless steel Kwik thumb stud and installed that on the Benchmade. Then I installed the brass one on a 40+ year-old Gerber LST knife that was my workplace EDC back in the day. Now I can open the LST with one hand! It was easy to install both studs, and the studs stay put. Opening the knives now is so much easier. BTW, just for fun, I tried slipping the brass stud through the slit of the Benchmade blade and installing it upside-down. It fit that way, too, but I didn't like the aesthetics of it as much.

Looks Factory!
These simple thumb studs are perfect for knives that you’d otherwise have to use two hands to open. I installed this onto my Buck 110. The brass patinas well and matches the bolsters on the Buck as if it were meant to be there.

Works for QSP Workers Knife!
Used this on my Workers knife because it lacks a thumbstud and this fits perfectly and allows me to open it up with one hand now. Purple or Blue Loctite recommended so you don't lose your investment!

Great Idea, Solid Execution
I've always hated set screws. They always seemed like a solution that was doomed to fail from the start, like wall anchors. But, man, does it work here. I threw this little gadget on my Buck 110 and it is going nowhere. It mounts just about anywhere on the bottom half of the blade and locks up securely. It does snag a bit with my custom cross draw leather holster, but not so badly that it is show-stopping. If you use the factory leather holster, you should have no issues. With this baby installed, opening one-handed is a lot easier. The finish on the stud is a nice bright brass, and it matches the 110's bolsters so well that my lady thought it was an original part of the knife, not an add on. That's saying a lot for something like this. As a bonus, it seems to work on several other knives as well. I tried it on my Browning 111C and it worked quite well. It should do euallly well for other 110-inspired folders, provided the blade thickness is about the same. If you're thinking of buying this, save yourself some time and just buy it. You won't regret it.

Great Addition for Buck 110
Nicely made and visually matches a Buck 110. Does what it should, but keep in mind the Buck has a powerful lock intended to keep it from closing, not to make for easy opening. It doesn’t flick open effortlessly like my Axis lock Benchmades or liner locked Zero Tolerance. Regardless, it’s a cool way to make a classic more functional.

A great accessory for my Buck 110
This is a fantastic accessory for my Buck 110 folder. It installs in just a few seconds and really does make it possible (and easy!) to open the blade one-handed. I wish that Buck offered a built-in thumb stud on the model 110 (at least as an option), but until/unless they do, this is great to have. The only gripe I have is that it catches on the inside of the nylon?) sheath that came with the knife, but I see that as more of a problem with the sheath than with the Kwik Thumb. Other reviewers have said there's no such issue with the leather sheath, but I haven't tried it myself. Now that I think about it, though, I have a Schrade Old-Timer folder that may need one of these as well...

Excellent upgrade for Buck 110's
Big fan of these. Added to my Buck 110's and love the result. Easy to install. Stays in place. Well worth it!

Fast and easy
I got this thumb stud for a big Voss folding hunter with ox horn scales. The ox horn version is slim and smooth so I knew it would take longer to wear a hole in my back pocket and wouldn't feel like carrying a short tire iron. Since I was a teenager I'd known how to open a lockblade folder one handed with a little thumb pressure on the blade once it was broken in. It's an invaluable skill when one hand is tied up and you need to slice something fast as you often will on the job or around the farm. The problem with the Voss was that between the smooth rounded edge ox horn grip, the well polished blade that came sharp enough to do expedient field surgery, I couldn't use my old method quickly without grave risk of amputating a couple of digits. I recalled there used to be a clip on thumb stud device years ago when I didn't need one so I got to looking. The Kwik Thumb Stud was just the device I remembered and I fired off an order for one in classic brass. After I found the right spot for optimal leverage on a 4 inch blade I was ready to start packing the Voss daily. Made me feel like a kid again. Must be that second childhood they talk about.
