Opening Knife with Lockback

[drake225]

Can u open knives like, the spyderco delica 4 and harley davidson mini pika ii, with the lockback. What i mean is flipping out the blade while holding down the lockback kind of like the axis lock opening mechanism.

With the way that you have to hold the knife, it makes it rather difficult. Especially with how tight the scales are to the knife (Delica and Endura, I don't have a Mini Pika II). I honestly can't do it.

Its very awkward to hold the knife to do so, but yes, it is possible. Why anyone would do that when using the opening hole as intended is fast and more secure, I don't know.

Yeah it is much faster to use the hole or thumb stud to open the knife, I just tried flicking my Caly 3 just now and it would get only so far before it would stop and close again.
