I was playing with my new Benchmade 806D2 and discovered I can open it with a very quick, sharp and short push-pull motion. Specifically I hold the knife firmly with my fingers and thumb on the scales an out of the blades path. (Note: I do not pull the axis lock back or touch it at all.) Then I push the bottom (closed blade side) of the knife away quickly and then stop. This is a really short quick motion--you're using the blades own intertia to overcome the friction from the axis lock. The blade snaps open.
Has anyone else tried this?
Like I said, I was just checking out a new toy. As a practical matter I'll probably use the thumb hole, but the "push" seemed like a neat trick and I couldn't find anything with a search.
