Anybody remember the "Clip-It" thumb stud?

[mjn]

Does anyone remember the "clip-it" or "zip-it" (can't recall exactly)? It was basically a thumb stud that clamped onto the back of a blade using an Allen screw, and was popular before everyone started sending knives out from the factory with thumb studs or holes already installed. I can post a picture of the one I have if anyone wants. I'd like to get a few more for some of the knives I have that don't have thumb studs, but they seem to have disappeared.

Anyone know what I'm talking about or where I could find them?

What you are looking for is called the kwik thumb stud.

There was also a slide on version called the "Flick-It" back in the 80's

Go to USA knife maker supply. They have what you're looking for.

Cool product. I'd be interested in photos of some in use if you've got the time.

I was just looking at several sites for deep pocket clips for a few knives. They have the old version Kwik thumb bars, and the Kwik thumb studs. Plus an array of through-the-blade studs, if you want to take a press or a Dremel to your knife. Just click on folding knife parts.

"One-Armed-Bandit", maybe?

Hi Ebbtide -

I had a Flick-It on my Ranger back in the late 70's. Those were cool and they worked great.
