Thank you. I checked it out, but unfortunately, it's a tad small, and serrated. I did find a non-serrated version, but the largest one is 3".
They make a larger one with pliers and non-serrated blade. I have both models:
the small one with large scissors and the large one with small scissors, pliers,
phillips and regular screw drivers, can opener. All operate both to open and
close with one hand and lock in place. Check ebay.

Mine is model BUCK 732 732BKS. It has a 3 inch blade. The only other option
I can think of is a Victorinox one hander. Check:
http://www.sakwiki.com
Go to the Victorinox page and look at models 111mm.
All their one handers are thumb hole style; liner locks. But-
be aware that their liner locks work backwards from what
you're used to. If you're right handed and use your thumb to
close most liner locks, you push the liner to the left.On Victorinox
you push the liner lock to the right. Takes a good bit of getting
use to. I never could, so mine Vic multi-tool one hander is in
a box, probably never to be used :-(
The Wengers (now owned by Victorinox) in the 130mm size
have some one handers with liner locks also. Take a look at
the Wenger Ranger Grip 90.

The only one that comes to mind that includes a can opener is a discontinued Leatherman K502. 154cm blade, bit driver, bottle opener and can opener. The more recent E55b drops the can opener. I've never come across a tougher blade in a multitool.
The Charge series has a S30V blade, but would be terrible for throwing like the OP want's to do.

The K and E55 series blades are also .125" thick and 1" wide, versus .094" and 0.672" for the Charge TTi. They're really in a league of their own when it comes to multitools.

After trying several blade closing techniques with my OH Trekker, I settled on pushing the locking bar to the left with my forefinger, pushing the blade forward with my thumb just enough to release it, then closing it the rest of the way with my forefinger. After a bit of practice of only a few days, it became second nature.
If you are a lefty, though, this model is made for you.
