Thumb studs?

[afishhunter]

The best argument I know for thumbstuds, was a buddy that works for our local animal control, who are not allowed to carry guns, got taken down by a large dog that had him by one arm, down on the ground.

He had a little trouble getting his knife open one handed, when it was kinda really important..................

Bad situation.
Did he switch to a one hand opener or a fixed blade after that happened?

One hand opener.......on either side now.

He got lucky, a local resident saw the attack, ran out and shot the dog with his pistol, otherwise he'd been in real trouble, after it tore into his arm, it tried to get his throat and got the side of his face.

If I were him I would carry a folder with a long blade of 3.75" to 4.5" and one hand ambidextrous operation.
