While exploring the Buck website I clicked into the 'Knife Know-How' and found this statement about lockbacks: " ... Lockbacks REQUIRE TWO-HAND CLOSING, though some are one-hand openers."
This is news to me as I have always turned my 110 around allowing the blade to drop into a down position with my thumb pressing on the 'button'. I simply 'backblade' it against my hip and reposition my fingertips as I close it. I have never stabbed or injured myself (this way) and the movement is as second nature as the fingertip/thumbpress 1 handed opening for me.
Perhaps lawyers are to blame this oversimplification?
