The "sharp edge" of the hole is designed to give your thumb some positive traction, otherwise it slips. If your thumb hurts, then you need to build up some calluses.I like a well designed thumbstud over a hole AND a flipper. And the hole can also hurt your finger just as much as a thumbstud. Some of the holes have a sharp edge on them, and when I get one of those sharp ones it hurts more than any thumbstud I've encountered. I find that the thumbstuds don't really get in the way of cutting, in MY experiences with MY knives.
Most of the studs are right at the start of the edge, or before.
These are all MY opinions.
Even though the Skyline is technically a blade stop
