Hey Tfin04, have you tried any of kershaw's stud locks that is on the bump or offset . .if so what do you think of those. I find them perfect for my needs, though I don't doing any sort of serious testing on them. I'd say give them a shot. While you are entitiled to your opinion, it would seem that Thomas is genuinely interested in your satisfaction with kershaw, which I think is great from a consumers standpoint and commend.
