I know you long time Buck users already know this. However, I was talking to someone who had not realized it. The 302 Solitaire is easy to open with one hand. The handle is long for the blade. So, all one need do is pinch the blade (with or without a nail in the nick) and catch the end of the handle on a pocket, belt, or etc. and pull it open. Simple.

This is very handy when you have one hand busy but need to open a knife.
 
Yes, this is true, because the 302's is a 301 minus the spey and sheepsfoot blades. I love the 302, but it could be just a little better if the blade and handle were sized in proportion.
 
I do like that the handle is longer, though, when I am using the knife. I can get a good purchase on it.
