I tried on my flippers and there seems to be an insert of some kind. I can fully pull it. Do I use the insert or was it for shipping purpose?

I think that is just for shipping to keep the shape. If you look very closely on the tab it tells you to remove, it is very hard to see.

Oh yeah, you have to pull that out. Flippers feel much better once you get rid of the insert.

Rita, my pulls have a slight nub on the end. In order for them to sit flat I will have to recess them. Did other people receive pulls that do not have a nub at the end?

The end that inserts is tapered. The only way you can know for sure is to order the part. Sorry. They are not that expensive and you can always get a refund.

I actually just used the last one I ordered yesterday and I discovered the same issue. The previous one I had from a few years ago did screw on (the tip), but this newer one does not. Looks identical. So far for me I cannot see it being a big deal, but I do hope they change it back so the tip will screw on for a more secure fit.

It's Amazons custom packing that is supposed to make for easier opening. It's also recyclable and protects the product.See more info here: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

I don't think the nut can be adjusted as it's kind of a revet type, Probably you could call the support and ask ? .I am almost ready to call the warrenty department as I end up in having couple of chips on the eds whilst cutting red snapper fin! .. I wasn't expecting this through..

Christopher,I hade the same problem until, I cleaned the oil of the insert and tapped it in using a block of wood and hammer and it stayed. I have been using it ever since with no problem. I hope this helps.Khalid

That actually is a blade stop and not a thumb stud. It's not meant for opening the knife. That's what the flipper is for. The flipper can be used with either hand.

They are typically shipped with right hand retrieve, certainly mine was and has worked extremely well from day one and is still one of the best values in the market place. Ron/CT. fly fisherman

I agree with the others, use the flipper part on back of knife, works like a charm.

Truthfully the stud is only used to help lock the blade into the handles and that's about it. Pretty much this is a true flipper. I have tried the thumb stud and I have not found anyway to use it.

I ordered a bunch of them and use them for all sorts of tools and other things like that, even tackle boxes. It is a really well constructed box with latches that don't break or fall apart like many other models from other manufacturers. It is now the only one I buy. Only thing I would like them to improve is to make latches out of stainless as they will rust when I use them for fishing stuff, but it's not a tackle box-and that would raise the price, so not complaining. I think it would be perfect for that use-good luck

Mine shipped with O-rings installed and a spare set. Yes, you need them in place before diving. When you twist off the head they go under the head around the open end. If you don't see the grooves they are probably already in place.

It's been a looong time since I had the item. You are looking at the bottom. There should be a cover, either flip up, slide off or held in place with a small screw. hope this helps

Sorry, can't help ya. My shipping was free. Btw, unless this is just a tool around boat, I'd buy something else. You certainly get what you pay for.

John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem. This is a larger knife however so you know you have it in your pocket but not in a bad way. If you need to get coins or lip balm out of your pocket you do need to pull the knife out in order to do so comfortably. That said I absolutely love this knife and as I mentioned in my original review it is worth the money. The flipper works great and you can present this knife is a flash if needed without the drama associated with a spring assist. I hope they continue to make this design for a long time to come as it is a great knife. John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem.

Hey Jonathan, did you find out about this or found another insert suitable for the kind of combo you have? (I have a similar one and am desperately looking for an insert solution!
