Second thumb stud?

[JimMD]

I don't own any CRKs yet and am contemplating getting a small Sebenza. I'd like to get one with dual thumb studs. I know that can be custom-ordered, which I presume then takes months. If I were to get a single-stud Sebenza, is it possible to have a second one installed, or to buy an additional stud and install it yourself? Thanks.

Yes. Takes 4-6 weeks.. just spoke to them. I might hand over a 21 at a knife show next month for a shorter time..

I love the thought of dual studs. But realize I never use the left side besides fondling.

Then again. I'd rather nobody touch my 21.

Thanks!

Look around, you might be able to find one with double lugs. I know New Graham Knives has stocked them before. Look here first. There are authorized dealers on the bay if no one has one here.

Yes, you can send one in to have double lugs installed.

Check around I am sure you can find a dealer that offers a dual thumb stud at a slight premium.

Thanks!

I have seen some for sale before on various knife dealing websites with dual studs installed. Typically they seem to have the silver coloured studs for some reason.

Neil at TNK usually stocks dual studs.

And check the Exchange here if a used one is ok for your use. I prefer dual studs for greater versatility. And it just looks more balanced.

Thanks. I love New Graham Knives! I got one of my favorite knives from them.

Whichever model I get, I like the blue studs.

I was in the same exact position you’re now in a while ago. I bought a Starbenza from Wilson Combat and couldn’t be happier with it. Check out the WC CRK offerings. Ambidextrous thumb studs (not to mention grooving on both scales) are standard. Good luck and happy shopping!

Thanks! This complicates the decision further for me, as I really like what I see in both the Star-Benza as well as the Knife Art CF Sebenza.

And then there is the dreaded KA model with dual blue studs. This is a large 21 but I would think they must have done the smalls the same way at the time. This is a 2014 birthdate.

I like both. But the weight reduction and look of the CF make it a clear winner for me atm.

I really like this one. If I pull this trigger, it’ll probably be the Insingo blade.
