Hawk Bill with a index finger flipper?

[bostondan]

Hey all-

I am looking for either a custom or production knife that is similar to a superhawk/spyderhawk but has a thumb stud - Does such a knife exist? Closest I can find is the boker "baby bat" but its too small and not of similar quality to the spyderco

By Thumbstud, I mean this : http://www.tactical-life.com/online/.../meyerco-2.jpg


Thanks!

Do you mean a flipper?

Also, if you like the Baby Bat by Boker, but find it too small, how about the original Bat?

You could always put 2 washes and a screw (like the pivot screws) on the spydie hole on the spyderco. You could also buy one of those quick stud things and put it on a spyderco.

Yes, the index finger flipper. The Original Bat doesnt have the Flipper

Not the same thing as the index finger flipper- I have partial nerve damage in my thumb which is why I am looking for index finger.

If you can't find a hawkbill with a flipper, you can always try to learn the forefinger flip with any opening hole, same principle as flicking open a knife with your thumb or using a flipper (without wrist motion)

Not quite a hawkbill, but more of a wharncliffe, is the Brous Silent Soldier flipper.

There's also a couple from MTech and other generic companies, but I doubt the quality you want is there.

Nice knife, but the price is a bit steep and its really not enough of a hawkbill for me. More of a slight curve. Think spyderco civilian

Check out custom knifemaker J.E. Roorda. He has a small and large Raptor series. Thumb studs though.
