Spyderco Police Thumb Stud?

[valentin_84]

Anyone put a thumb stud on a Spyderco Police?

I had a Police for a while but hated how much of a slow opener it was, so I sold it. Man do I miss that blade though! I wonder if there would be a good pivot spot for a thumb stud on it even though it has that huge hole...

I don't understand why it opened slow.

Puny, weak thumbs?

maybe you need to oil the joint? or just use the ziptie trick

If you want a thumbstud spydercos arent your knives.

You could get one of those "one-armed bandit" attachments that people sometimes put on their Buck 110s, and maybe attach it to the inside of the hole (near the top/spine edge of the hole, not the edge-side...).

Have you ever heard of the opening method sometimes referred to as the Spydie Drop?

you could consider a military. similar size atleast and seems to open pretty fast from the videos ive seen. i had a police for a while, and it didnt open lightning fast, but it wasnt an issue

If it opened slow with you using the spydiehole it sure as hell aint gonna open faster with a thumb stud .

How long did you own it? All my Spyderco (and BM and Kershaw) knives have taken opening and closing them awhile to get them smooth opening.

Also, how would a thumb stud making it faster opening?

I find a thumbstud way faster for flick openings, because it smoothly "leaves" the thumb.

Conversely, a Spydiehole is way easier for slow openings, because it retains the thumb.

I'm faster with a 'slow' opening Spyderco than with a 'fast' thumb stud because I don't have to spend time searching for the opening stud with my thumb.

Likewise.

Sounds like your doing it wrong. The spyderhole is the fastest/easiest way to open a folding knife, as fast as any assisted opening knife.
