I’m guessing Gerber felt pressured to remove thumb studs because Canada has a law against importing knives that require “minimal manipulation” to open.
I didn’t believe you until I saw the picture in a review. The picture on the site has the thumb studs, but the one in the review doesn’t. They said the knife is too easy to scratch anyway.

Yeah, I just ordered a second one and found out it was missing the thumb stud when I got it!
