Spyderhole (and variants) or Thumbstud, the POLL Edition

[DrOpPoInT1110]

I personally like flippers above all other methods so I voted other.

 

[RevDevil]

To be correct and give credit where it's due, SpyderHole. It has my vote.

 

[mr-winkie01]

I voted indifferent - as long as I can deploy the blade safely, that's all that matters in my opinion.

 

[A.P.F.]

Indifferent. The quality and design of the knife is far more important to me.

 

[singularity35]

Hole, then flipper, I can work with a thumbstud if it's well placed.

Flipper!
(Then Wave)

 

[Ankerson]

I like holes the best, Spyderco, Strider.

 

[Orion's Belt]

SpyderHole for me. I don't dislike studs or flippers, but highly prefer a deployment hole.

My Spiderco Endura (hole) is fine, my Ontario RAT-1 (stud) is fine - I'd happily buy either hole or stud again.

 

[bigasswiteboy]

the hole is the best

 

[banana-clip]

I voted Spyderhole.

 

[Thalestin]

I prefer the hole, but it is not a deal breaker if a knife doesnt have it.

 

[Nedser]

Flipper

Looks like the spyderco hole really has changed the industry... Damn!

 

[timberweasel]

Better consistency with the deployment hole, as I find thumb-studs greatly vary in terms of design/comfort: some are fantastic, others... meh. I also find that I have more control over deployment speed with a hole.

 

[charlOOsi]

I chose indifferent. I'm pretty efficient with both styles and have multiple ways of opening either style with ease and finesse.

I do like the holes because I could wave them, but I could do the same with the thumbstuds.

 

[BikerTrash]

I chose hole, only because if the knife in question has the hole option (like my 2 Griptilians), I will choose the hole. My first preference is a flipper!

 

[Bastid]

Nail nick or long pull.

 

[NirreBosse]

I woted other. Nailnick
