One handed opening is illegal for carry in Germany, so I believe it has a removable thumb plate.

I just got my ZT 0200 today and it is a BEAST of a knife!
My Alpha One has a removable thumb plate, indeed for German carry laws. I believe (not 100% sure) that in Germany one-hand opening knives should not lock, and for two-hand opening knives there are far less limitations.
Alpha Two comes in 2 variants: a two hand opening "Outdoor" variant with normal metal colored blade, and two tactical variants ("Survival" and "Desert") with dark blade and removable thumb disk.
It's really quite an awesome, very sturdy knife.

I recognize the Espada there and I own a Spartan and a Spyderfly... looks like you modified your Spartan a bit? And did you drill holes for left side carry of your Espada or does it offer this option? I want an Espada but the pics I've seen didn't seem to offer left side support (I'm a lefty)... I'm no good at knife mods.
That third knife you have there looks cool, what is it?

Actually, it's not a CS Espada... It's a custom Navajah by Andrew Demko. The 3rd one down is a BM Skirmish that I wave modded and drilled for tip up carry. I ground the blade double edged to be safely covered when closed. I carry with the clip mounted left handed but I'm not a lefty. It enables me to do a forward wave draw into a edge out icepick (reverse) grip.

I cannot open mine one handed very effectively. The knife is so big you have to choke up on it before you can attempt to use the thumb stud.
It can be done just not as fast as most folders.
It is a BIG knife and probably one of the most comfortable folders I have. It allows for multiple hand holds.

I won't repeat the popular ones already recommended except to say the Spyderco Military is usually in my right back pocket.
The Cold Steel Rajah II is a folding axe of a knife. Not a great choice for EDC, but nice to have in the woods.
Take a look at the Boker Mini Resurrection. With a 4" blade, over 9" overall, it is not "mini" but it is a formidably heavy-duty and well-made knife.
I think someone did mention the Hogue series. I have the 4" drop point in green G-mascus. Great knife and a great bargain at the price.
