CR Made Slight Changes in the Umnumzaan - Better access to the Lockbar

On one hand, if given the choice, i'd take the newer one, but after a week or so, I'm able to easily open and close the zaan.

Mine is getting broken in good now also, much esier to open and close now.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no way I'll ever be able to close my Zaan with one hand. I don't think the new style would make any difference at all. The lockup is so solid, and the purchase is so small, that an arthritic geezer like me will never be able to deal with it.

However, I'm totally OK with a two-handed close :)

Can you open it with one hand? That's all you really need, I've never had to close a knife quickly.

Absolutely. Opening it is a piece of cake. I'm not at all worried about being unable to close it with one hand although it would be cool if I could eventually.
