I love the red colored knife that's showing the blade material is excellent and it flips open with ease but there is no thumb stud on the blade I would buy it if I were you I did notice it for less money on Amazon but I bought it here because they deliver to Massachusetts but Amazon doesn't

Knife does knife does not thumbs start on the blade.
You flip the knife open by the little handle at the top of the knife the steel is great I did see them $8 cheaper on Amazon
