For all you folks that wanted traditional folders with some more modern features, Case has several new one-hand opening thumb stud equipped folders in their lineup now. Some even come with pocket clips!

I was visiting with the folks at Kinney Surgical Services (http://www.kinneysurgical.com/) (sharpening) the other day and they'd put in a bid display of Case knives and I pointed out to Sean that Case had thumb stud / pocket clip versions of some of their more popular models. He got excited enough to put in an order for some!

Looks good!

That would be more perfect if it had a liner lock.

I think it does. The "TrapperLock" is a locking liner mechanism.

Meh,I have a couple of Case knives with thumbstuds.They are very hard to open.

Blackhawk30,

Do they need larger or "better" thumb studs. What would improve the one-hand opening for them?

[mdauben]

I've got one of the older Trapperlocks w/o the pocket clip. I may need to pick up a new one with that feature.

Case knives were too tight out-of-the-box.That is what made them hard to open.They are folding hunters.One is a Ruger logoed and the other is a Case Brothers.

I'm supprised, my Trapperlock (linerlock) is very easy to open. In fact, I've probably got over a dozen different Case folders and the only one that was hard to open or close was a new Copperlock (lockback) that I bought. It took a while to get reasonably easy to open and even not is still somewhat stiff but from what I have heard talking to other Case owners, mine was not typical.

A hybrid!

I like that and hope they get some locally. My biggest issue with most trappers is the size feeling like I've got a brick in my pocket.
