Modifying folding knives into assisited openers

[Reapermain8907]

Still new to this guys so tell me if I approach this incorrectly.
I recently bought a SOG escape FL. I'm impressed with the overall knife. I bought it primarily for work however and it my job even the slightest delay costs me money. I would like to look at ways to quicken the opening and closing of the blade. Does anyone have an idea on this particular blade? Or potential modifications to help with overall speed of opening?

A quick one handed knife is nice, I carry one everyday.
But auto, flipper, stud, hole, they each have thier strengths and weaknesses.
Converting a production knife to assissted...can be done...
But I would think for the skill, tooling and time involved, you would be building your own knives.

SpeedSafe Kershaw's are relatively cheap (inexpensively speaking) so just buy one of those and wear it out. Rinse-repeat as needed.
