I don’t know if I’m carrying it wrong or what, but I can’t get my waved Delica to deploy reliably.

I’m looking to convert some traditional knives (you know brass, nickel, horn), that already have smooth opening, and locking blades, to be openable with a thumb stud, and my conclusion is that the handle shape is what’s critical*. It has to be fairly wide. Well, more than fairly wide — not like your wife’s butt when you married her but like it is on your tenth anniversary. (Just kidding, ladies, no letters to the editor, please.)
My easiest opening is a Gerber bolt action that did not come with a thumbstud but that I installed a Flicket on. It’s the widest. My Benchmade Boguszewski Spike, very easy opening linerlock, came with a thubstud but I had to install a bigger one because it was not as easy to open as the Gerber. It’s long enough but it’s narrower. My Klotzli Swiss-made, a beautiful little thing, again with a smooth as silk Walker lock, that came with a thumbstud, is very awkward, and I won’t even try to install a bigger stud or lever. It’s just too narrow and too slender for a proper grip for the card-off-deck movement of the thumb.
*I’m moderately optimistic about the five-inch handle Coke bottle hunter with maybe a lever if the stud is not enough, but I have my doubts with the four-inch jack. What makes it pretty and easy in the pocket, makes it hard to make tactical.
