Stud - Brass

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.

This is a great quality thumb stud. I have several that I have attached to my Buck 110 and 112 knives. They make it a lot easier to open the knives one handed. They also look pretty good on the knives.

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.

Great little stud, seems to fit snug although it sits a little wonky.

Installed on a Buck 722 Spitfire allowing much easier 1 handed opening. Fits inverted in the thumb cutout perfectly. I used a drop of blue loctite on the threads. I highly recommend this on a Spitfire.

I'm getting old and like to keep things original and hesitated to put a thumb stud on my Buck 110. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. What a difference to now be able to open my Buck 110 with one hand!

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...

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.
