Knife about same size/shape as Vic Solo/pioneer, but one hand opening?

The Alox 93mm knives are about perfect in shape and size for me, except for the lack of one-hand opening. Is there a knife shaped/sized the same, just easy one-hand opening?
Spydercos are out, since the hole makes them too tall (from blade spine to backspring) when closed.
 
I once had a Buck Nobleman Ti, about the same size of a Pioneer, but with a bit different blade design.

Edit: found a picture.

Just get a Spyderco UKPK. Lightweight, around the same length, great clip, slipjoint, and they come in virtually any color or modern material you can think of.
 
Iirc, the Kershaw Leek is almost identical in length and width (maybe not thickness). For easy one-hand opening, it doesn't come much easier than assisted opening. Quite a good little general use knife, imho.

Blade shape is quite different, though.
 
I used to carry an alox soldier and thought the exact same thing about the size, shape, and weight. Five years later, I now carry a spyderco urban or kershaw leek.
