The only thing that allows me to enjoy nail Nick knives
Nice!! They’re definitely handy little things.
Interesting and easy way to turn a 2 handed opening knife into a one handed. Thanks for sharing the product as well as the caution. Thanks for putting link in description.
You’re very welcome Rick! Thanks for watching!
Very useful and pretty darn cool!
It completely changes the Buck 110. Now they need a kwik pocket clip and it will make it a 100% modern knife.
I swear by them and think they're the bee's knees. I have one on my Opinel, on a couple Rough Ryders and on my Miguel Nieto Campaña, a folder just slightly smaller than the Buck 110. Love 'em!
They are the bees knees!! Lol.
Very interesting. I honestly didn't know this was a thing😲. Thank you so much for sharing.
No problem! Thanks for watching Scott.
Now isn't this handy!!! Nice walk thru! Thanks GTG!
I really need to get one of these.
Hi. I had seen them on knives in reviews but did not know the name. A usefull piece of gear. All the best.
Hey Rhino! It is quite useful indeed. Thanks for watching as always, all the best to you!
Great gadget, I have to buy one for my Buck 110
I'm surprised they don't offer a few options for different blade stocks. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! It will work on any thickness of blade stock, it just wont be quite as solid. I mean, it won’t move, and I doubt it would be an issue - the only downside is you’re be able to visibly see the gap and the set screw on a thin blade. It would be wise I think if they offered a “mini” version.
Great recommendation this is something I could definitely use at a great price Thanks for the info ✌️
Hell yeah!!
Glad you found something to make those peaks more enjoyable!!
Yeah buddy!!!
Sweet, thx for sharing
I love the brass ones and use them heavily !!
Awesome, Jon! I may need to get one in brass for my Buck 110!
That is nice!
I've seen these before I definitely think my 110 will be getting a brass one very cool
A brass one on a 110 would look so excellent!
Very cool...I’m not a thumb studder either, but what a cool little addition to conventional knives. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
You bet! Thanks Mick 👍🏻
Number 50, Woo! I have a few of these and they also make the Thumb Stud Bar.
Right on! Thanks for watching!
What's the thumb stud bar?
@@GazB85 its just like this, just a straight bar that goes on top. Its nice, but personally not something i would use lol. Bought one when i ordered some of these. (Like the one in video)
Good stuff !!
And this is why the aftermarket exists-for customizing well-made products that do better as a base as opposed to incorporating the customization directly into the design from the onset.
Oh yeah!
Yo Sean there killer they make a good knife great 👍 merry Christmas 🎁
Merry Christmas Pete!! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄
Cool idea, I'm sure people would pay way more for ergonomics, exotic metal, and refinement.
Thanks for the upload.
For sure!
I always wished my Kershaw Skyline S30VCF would have "useful thumb studs"...Love the knife for Summer time carry,..just dont care for flippers much
I got the one for the buck to put on my tuff lite. It's 2.7mm blade. Thanks for the info.
Cool little product.. but I dont use one on my buck 110 because i use my buck 110 to skin and gut white tail deer
You would think they would make different sizes for blade stock🤔
Hey! That's pretty rad
It is pretty rad. Also, I think people need to use the word “rad” more often! Thanks for watching!
Blade stock being said, does that imply this would not be able to be tight enough to work for a Swiss Army Knife from Victorinox?
Very cool little item. Would they work on my Manly Wasp too?
Absolutely! I’m considering puting one on my Wasp as a matter of fact. 👍🏻
@@GearedTowardGear1 Thanks brother. I looked and if I wanted a brass one, BHQ has a good deal today with free shipping on one. But they don't have the stainless in stock.
Have a good evening. :)
What loctite are you using ? Does it make it permanent?
Hi, Which brand is the white knife ?
For me, the best part is that you can adjust where the thumbstud is on your blade. If a knife comes with a thumbstud, you likely can't adjust the height.
Very true!
Just a FYI it's not a brass colour it is brass.
Really cool. Do you recommend this for steel Will or civivi knives that are flippers but don’t have thumb studs? I prefer opening with the thumb studs over the flipper
Yeah absolutely. It should work great for those knives. They aren’t quite as thick as far as the blade but it should still function just fine.
Ok, thanks! Do you know if someone sells them in different colors, materials, or styles?
If its 2mm ??? Where 2 go
Very “kool” little product indeed.
Haha, thanks man!
Hi Sean. I have one of these on a QSP Worker knife and it is functional. However, I can't get the thumb stud to sit "level" once the set screw is tightened down. The force of the screw against the blade pushes the screw side of the stud out and then up so that the stud sits cockeyed. I hope I'm making sense. Do you have that issue on any of the knives you have used it on? Thanks.
Hey what’s up Jay! Thanks for watching brother. What a great knife to use one of these on! What you’re saying makes perfect sense and I can totally picture it. I’ve not encountered that issue. I wish I had so I could provide you with a better answer than “I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️”, but I can’t think of a fix. Is the amount of force that is causing it to rise up and sit cockeyed required? In other words could you loosen it slightly, just enough to sit level, add some loctite and have the stud stay in place? Or is that level of force required to keep it in place?
@@GearedTowardGear1 Unfortunately, it becomes cockeyed with even the slightest amount of pressure from tightening the screw. I understand the mechanics involved as the cause and effect--it makes sense, I just don't understand why the problem would exist on a certain knife and not on others. Oh, well. Thanks for responding. I enjoy your videos. Take care.
I’m going to be that guy. If I ever take it off, will it mark up the blade?
Hey that’s a totally fair question. Yes, it will leave a mark where the set screw hits the blade. My intention with these is as a permanent fixture, but long term it you changed your mind or wanted to swap to another knife it would leave a mark, albeit a small one.

Good to know. Thanks for answering.
I’ll admit, i’m not a thumb stud guy. But my 110 could use this.
the Thumb Stud bar in copper looks great on a 110.
First XD
Woot!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Does it ruin the blade steel?
