Kershaw Cyclone Question

[kindred_spirits]

Hey guys. I'll be purchasing the Kershaw Cyclone pretty soon, but I had one question. On Kershaw's site, it shows the Cyclone with their sharp, angled thumbstuds, like the ones on the Storm. On most other pictures I've seen, it has normal round studs. I really do not like the angled studs on the Storm. What is the deal with that? Also, what is on your cyclone? Thanks.

The studs on my Cyclone, dated June 2006, are the round ones. The angled studs on the Storm II really don't bother me. I don't know why they used that configuration. I got used to them quickly. I would imagine the Storm may be harder to open due to less inertia from a smaller, lighter blade. I love em both.

Mine (Oct 06) has the round studs as well. I mainly use the flippers on my Cyclone and Storm, though. The Cyclone is a great knife, and you'll enjoy it.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of my Cyclone ('06)--round studs as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by sharp thumbstuds, but Here are some close-up pictures of my Jun 06 example (full-size cyclone).

Cool, thanks for the help guys.

Will, here is a stock pic of the cyclone with the angled studs:

ks, the Cyclones all have the "round" studs. On occasion we need a little photo magic with a knife if we are in a rush to meet an image deadline. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the info Thomas! I assumed that was the case.

The photo magic picture looks like it uses the same studs the Blur uses. I like them.

Great knife for the money
