There used to be some cylindrical studs that fit over the top edge of the blade and held in place by Allen type set screws. They had knurled ends

I hate to say this, but it looks to me to be fake, and a quick search revealed it is. Destroy it so no one is fooled.

I believe your right. I won't be reselling it. I just grabbed 1 of the many knives I have that is missing the thumb stud for a picture.cody6268 wrote:I hate to say this, but it looks to me to be fake, and a quick search revealed it is. Destroy it so no one is fooled.

For an on the spot fix a zip tie through the thumb stud hole may work.
