Amongst the best Forum Knives ever made and many thanks to @knifeswapper and the workers in Italy for making it possible in very difficult circumstances :cool:

If pellet lifts were acceptable in the late c19th and early c20th can we put them on 'traditionals' now and get away without censure or policing?

How did that happen?! 🤣 Sadly, Mike has had a few health/family issues to deal with over the past couple of years :( Hoping he's back here before too long :thumbsup:
 
Jack and Ed thanks for the info. Will, you ask a good question. I think I know a pellett when I see one. Mr. Pellett goes down in knife history though. If I mistakenly post a knife with a stud here I will call it a pellett lift.

The Pellett lifts aren't actually designed for one hand opening, just an alternative to a nail-nick. There are traditional one-hand openers, but they don't use studs or thumb-holes :) :thumbsup:

You're probably best just saying 'Sorry', and editing your post ;) :thumbsup:

Look at the picture in Jack's @Jack Black post. The pellet is a button attached to the spine of the blade not a stud attached to the side of the blade. So no, you can't get away with calling a stud a button. :)

I hereby promise to accept all righteous criticism of my posts and take it like a man! I thank you all in advance for keeping me in line.😉

I think the "out of place in the 1960's" rule is pretty solid. That should settle 99.9% of all the questionable features you could think of. Don't post the other .01%.
