Spyderco blasphemy

[shuutr]

If you make a blade with a thumbhole too small to use, I'm gonna remedy that.

Introducing a Spyderco equipped with a thumb stud

Forgive me for my Spydie Sin.

Sin on brother, sin on.

Nice mod! But you're right - the Spyderco logo with a thumbstud next to it just looks wrong!

The Vallotton has thumb studs from the factory.

Still learning to identify specific Spydies - which blade is this?

And I agree with tchapman - weird to see the Spyderco logo next to a thumbstud...

Is the detent engaged? It looks like that thumb stud is keeping the blade from fully closing.

It's a pingo

Yes. It's engaged. The stud touches but the blade is in the same resting position with or without the stud.

My pingo looks the same when closed. I have no thumbstud.

Only Sal can forgive the sin.
That is cool, tho.

Did you pull the studs off another folder or did you buy them somewhere else?

It still has the hole though - that seems to save it from complete blasphemy

Got em online at knife kits. I actually got two different styles but I like the ones in the original post the most.

Actually, on the Vallotton, they are the stop pin... They don't work very well as thumb studs, geometry is wrong, for efficient use as thumb openers.

I'd do a Ford frame Chevy engine, just like Tim Taylor

Does the Pingo have an Axis lock option?
