This knife had a problem with the tip of the blade not sitting inside the handle when it was closed and could cut bad. Did they fix that problem ?

Nope... I bought one this week 10-21. I clipped it on my pocket, walked 200', reached into my pocket, and jammed the thing into my finger, nearly to the bone. WORST DESIGN EVER. Just passing a finger tip over the point, WHILE THE BLADE IS FULLY CLOSED, will snag the tip of the blade. Totally irresponsible to market this product.

Can this knife be easily opened with a thumb stud?

For me, the thumb stud is too close to the blade's pivot to provide enough leverage to deploy the blade. Also, as others have noted, when new, this knife requires a small amount of lubrication on the pivot. Once done, the blade will deploy very easily with the flipper, and with as much speed and authoritative snap as an automatic.

Is the liner lock still getting stuck? Is the blade still not centered? Are people still being cut cuz it opens in the pocket?

Any folding pocket knife with an easy opening mechanism - be it disk, hole, thumb studs, or flipper - can jostle around in a pocket and open by mistake. I had a Benchmade Ascent with an opening hole that was partially opened by my handkerchief of all things, and cut myself - a bunched up portion of the handkerchief got wedged in the opening hole and when I put my hand in my pocket that moved the handkerchief which in turn moved the tip of the blade out of the handle just a little. Ever since, I carry whatever knife is in rotation in a short section of bicycle innertube, taped closed at the bottom (Gorilla Duct Tape is superb). When I pull the pocket knife out to open a package, the bicycle inner tube section just automatically stays in my pocket. The Luzon is pretty safe. It has a VERY stiff detent, at least on the 3 or 4 I own (one user and one collector in the box of each length). In fact the detent is so stiff i can't open with thumbstud, only with flipper, and even that wears out the pad of my finger. The reason for the stiffness, which is intentional, is so the blade will really fly out and lock solid when it finally snaps off the detent. That having been said, knives with easy opening mechanisms are ALWAYS paired with pocket clips, and the blade ALWAYS sits towards a pocket seam, never away from it. This substantially limits the amount of blade that can accidentally open. It is also the real reason pocket clips are usually overly tight. It's not so the knife won't fall out of our pocket if we lean over (or get hung upside down???). It's so the pocket knife, once clipped against a seam, won't start sliding towards the middle and thereby allow the blade to open. Buck actually had it right with the original Folding Hunter 110 which came with a sheath (although the sheath was to dodge to avoid restrictive concealed pocket knife laws). I recognize you have already figured all this out on your own. But I wrote this for the sake of any noobies who happen by. Quality control - you're right, the quality control is dismal compared to a $22 Pro Lite. However, there's nothing out there which can do light kitchen duties like the Luzon - 4" is paring size, the blade isn't too thick. And the 6" version can quarter a Costco rotisserie chicken for an impromptu tailgater.

How much does the large one weigh?

The medium weights 3.5 oz or 98 grams. I have held the large and I don't believe it is over 6 ozs.
