Modern EDC I can open/close with one hand?

I can one open every Buck that I own and I can actually thumb open all my 112s though the brass frame version is challenging! Another thing I appreciate about the 112 deep nail pulls.

If you can can one-hand open a 500 or 112 while holding it right-side up by the handle, you've got bigger/stronger hands than me, Peter Parker (or should I call you Spider Man?). I guess that sticky web stuff helps

I can take the blade between thumb & index finger and open backwards pressing the butt against my hip (no laughs from the peanut gallery!). I tried it with a 112 and 500. Easy with the 112, the round butt on the 500 kept slipping.

After opening that way, I just have to turn it around and right-side up with one hand while holding a square perfectly still on a board with the other.

What day does the Emergency Room have it's 2-for-1 deal on stitches?

That is the one I use most of the time, though I usually just carefully slide my hand down the back of the handle spine. Any of these take practice. I've always been told by the older timers and I'm 51 that the 110 is the original one hander using the drop method my next favorite, and favorite for speed. I actually have hands proportionate for a 5' 6" male making the 110 impossible for me to thumb it open. I couldn't fully do the 112 brass frame until it just recently started to break in(my Ecolites are easy). Closing I just point the knife safely point down and push in the lock while bringing the blade spine across my hip or upper leg.

my EDC is a 340. I can flick/flip it open one handed, or I I can slip my thumb nail thru the slot and open it that way. I think closing it though is a bit more involved since it is a liner lock but you can do it.
