How about a friction folder? If you can deal with no lock,I would suggest contacting one of the makers in the exchange.

Nice recommendation. Even without being locking, it seems like the design makes it so that as long as you're gripping the handle, it's unlikely that the blade would move. It also seems that opening them one handed isn't that difficult.

After looking around a little, I came upon Michael Morris' friction folders. I sent him an e-mail detailing what I'm looking for within the bounds of what he offers in friction folders. We'll see where this goes!
 
spyderco dragonfly would be my choice over the Chicago since you said it doesn't have to be strictly two inches, and it seems the USA part won't be filed.

Can't go wrong with Mr. Morris!

I ordered one of his Friction Folders a while ago, about three months later it came with a nice leather sheath. Great knives for the money. Bottle opener is a nice feature, as well.

I liked them so much I have another on order with him right now.
 
I got my Spyderco Leaf Storm and it's a great solid little folder made in Golden, Colorado. Goes for $150 delivered.
