Gun hammer thumb stud removal?

I only own one DDR right now, the one I pictured which is an HTM version. I commissioned a custom version from him many months ago. Most of Darrel's knives are flippers. Yes, the tang you see there is the flipper. There are a few knives he makes that are not flippers, like his balisongs and automatics.

The name Gunhammer comes from the shape he uses for his flipper which just so happens to look like a gun hammer. Call him. That number was not left there for me. It was left there for you to call him and get in touch with him. Hell, he may tell you to swing by the shop.

I have handled quite a few DDRs at this year's Blade Show. You owe it to yourself to at least see what they're about and then decide if you want to buy one.

I believe CZIV is interested in getting either a custom Gunhammer or Trigger. He is hesitant to give you a call because he's afraid you may be too busy to take a call, and doesn't want to show up at your shop unannounced even though he claims he lives relatively nearby. He's confused about the linerlock on the Gunhammer and how it's a nested linerlock. He's also got a few other questions about handle scale material, blade steel, and how strong one of your liner locks is compared to a framelock. If I recall correctly, he's compared the Gunny to a Spyderco Military, which has a super thin linerlock, but is rated (by Spyderco) as a heavy duty lock, which I believe means that the blade can support 100 PSI before the lock closes.

In the end I think he's mostly concerned with how heavy duty your knives are.
 
Based on my experince with one I own, this knife (HTM GH 2.0) is strong enough to do anything that should need to be done with a folding knife. It is very well made, the materials are quality all the way, the fit and finish at the price point is amazingly good. I honestly don't understand the profound confusion. The pictures really do provide a lot of details, as well as the images on the DDR site that explains the assist.
One thing, the comparison of the Military and the GH 2.0 is not an equal one. One knife is production, the other is what I consider to be midtech. There is a difference in materials too. The nested liner lock and the blade steel is pretty much where the similarities end. I will say again that the GH 2.0 is a great knife. I am happy with mine and it really is in a league all its own.
 
Plz don't misunderstand. The reference to the Military was made only to ask if that style of nesting the linerlock is what was meant by a Ti linerlock. Nothing about comparing the two other than the nested linerlock. (and not a size comparison of the knives, blades, locks etc.) :)

Nested means nothing more than that the lockbar itself is *nestled* inside a liner. Most linerlocks are the size of the actual handle scales. One design is not better nor worse than the other design. It's just a looks thing the way I see it. With a nested liner, you can have a cleaner look since the lockbar is hidden.

Did you finally call Darrel, cziv?

Yes, thanks I understand his lock system - and thanks for helping out. :) I have not phoned Darrel as I'm not sure of my next purchase. I thought about it but - well, you know that goes. I'm still lubing and stropping the new XM-24 that I scored and looking for a micarta inlay lg Sebenza 21.
