I thought I could handle my folders moderately well...but I was mistaken. Now I feel clumsy. I have trouble brushing my teeth with my opposite hand...with this guy, I can't even tell if he's right or left handed. Watch it all the way through...it's worth it. :eek:

Now I've got to take a more serious look at Spyderco...:D

If this has been shown before, my apologies...

Nice video, but I've got to say....the ATR could use some lube or Pivot tension adjustment, looks a bit stiff :D.

I really like the midlock manipulation, shows those people that think a backlock needs two hands to be closed.
 
^ My riding partner took my recommendation and purchased a Walmart Native. I showed him how to flip it closed against his index finger, with a staunch warning to be sure his finger was forward. It was only one day before he put a nice slice across the top of his nuckle(probably the first cut of the knife), and I felt somehow responsible for showing him this unsafe method of closing his backlock. I haven't seen him use his knife to see whether he uses both hands now.

I do it with out thinking, but I have to remember that it is inherently unsafe when I am showing others how to do it.
