Now that I've had STR add thumbstuds to my favorite 110s, I can open mine one-handed without using the Biker Flip. The next step would be a one-handed closing. Can anyone do this? What method do you use?
 
I hold it upside down in my hand. Edge point toward the front but angled somewhat. Put my thumb on the lock while the edge of my palm pushes against the blade. I fold it about half way this way. Then I change my grip........ahhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggg.:o
 
Nothing to it. Starting from a sabre grip, roll it in your hand til your fingers are along the back. The lock release is now in range of your middle or ring finger. Press it while bumping the spine on something (usually my leg) just enough to release the lock. Roll back to a sabre grip and close it like a slip joint (again, usually against my leg). Takes less time to do it than say it. :cool:
 
I been opening and closing my 110 one handed for years and years. Just takes a little pratice. I haven't been cut yet doing it.

Pretty much as Blue Sky said it...
