Don't much care for the bearings, Nathan, washers are just fine / often preferred. Just the thumbstud only is an issue for me. An additional flipper or hole would be much appreciated. Here is why:

1) You already have a CRK lock, why also have a CRK opening ? Do you want it to be a Sebbi re-blade ?
2) A flipper tab would fit right into your "FK2 folder" design, the flipper tab would mimic the FK2 guard
3) A flipper and/or hole makes a right-handed RIL ambidextrous. I'm heavly right-handed, still left hand RIL use is no problem, see my lousy movie below. It's safe because of the flipper tab.

I rest my case

Yeah, we're starting to lean that way too. I was wanting to keep this as simple as possible because it's my first folder. But it isn't Mark's first folder is it?

Stick to the plan. Don’t need Mark coming in jazzing it up. I don’t need WiFi on mine.
… sick ass grinds are okay though.

I would vastly prefer a flipper or opening hole instead of a thumb stud!

....both? or will it take away from the lines of the blade? KISS?

 

[darsk20]

Keep it simple and use the thumb ramp as a front flipper. Nothing to ruin the lines at all then.

Mark can always remove the flipper for people who don't like it ... for a surcharge of course

Magnacut gets really sharp with a strop and green compound.

Yes please some lefties.

Have you tried a lefty HDFK yet? So much more ergonomic for southpaws.

If it’s got a flipper with thumb studs then that’s fine, I’ll just grind the pecker off. Not sure I’d buy one with a hole in it though.

A fuller can work as well as any thumb stud or hole. Just sayin'... do your own thing.

I think Nathan is gonna break the Interwebs with that lefty Potato Knife in today's Friday sale. I'm not even a lefty, but I still want one.
