I got the new Extrema Ratio MF0(3" blade). Nice sturdy package, 5/32" thick blade, solid lock, blade fires open with the flipper. The low rider clip is nice.
Well designed blade that cuts well.
I just can't unlock it with one hand, my thumb hardly fits in the lock lug area (small hand). Can't push the lug far enough to unlock. I must use two hands and stick my index finger in the TINY opening to push and release.

Anyone have experience with the MF or the BF series? Help!

Italians apparently don't care about ease or speed in closing a knife ! My FOX made TOPS knife couild only fit a thumbnail to unlock . I solved that by using my Dremel to make a relief cut in the handle material. Perhaps you could do the same thing.
 
Yes, I could do that. IF I do cut the opening out larger, I think I will mill it out, I'm not very steady at holding one of those.
The only thing, the aluminum is "black" and my cutting will show up big time.:)

Check the Brownell's catalog. They sell gunsmithing supplies , among them products that will blacken aluminum. You'll never match the original finish, but you can make your cut a lot less obvious.
