The thing is that thumb studs were never designed for middle finger flick, which we all got used to from the spidey hole, after all.... My 1978 Mel Pardue custom coffin handle folder, was my first ever thumb stud knife which has been my favorite opening method ever since! 😊🗡️👊

I've come to the realization that owning any premium steel is simply out of my budget. Wonderful knife!

I really like the look of this thing, especially in the copper carbon fiber! I kind of wish it had the thumb stud on the cliffside as well, but I would be happy enough with having just the single stud. And I bet if I found the right size Dremel bit I could deepen the fuller and sharpen the edges so it would catch my finger for reverse flicking

Love the look of this big blade

Good job.., your content is clear and valuable. Thanks!

The flawed beauty of Kansept as always. The thumb studs on my Kansept REI are unusable with the lockbar so I just took them off...but what a sweet flipper it is. The bronze titanium version was just too sweet looking to resist. Perfect EDC size so it's in the pocket a lot. Great video thanks.

Nine looking knife. I think they missed out with no ambi or other deployment methods. Thanks for the video Wayne!

Good looking knife. I don’t care for the thumb stud, especially only being one sided. I’m surprised that the fuller can’t be used for reverse flicking.

Glad that you put a picture of the knife in the thumbnail. It makes me more likely to click.

I've got the Shard, because i got a deal on it. What I want is the Fenrir, with the twill carbon fiber.

Nice review as always, Wayne! However, for less than half the price, maybe check out the Civivi Regulatron. Similar blade shape but smaller (2.9”), with Nitro-V and micarta. Quite nice indeed!

Two misses. Micarts and no ambi clip.
