Hello,
My 14 year-old godson was born with one hand. Because of that he frequently needs cutting tools, for example, scissors to open chip bags and such. After seeing him run downstairs to grab a scissors to open a lemonade packet, I realized how handy a Swiss army knife would be for him. I love my Swiss army knife, but I have trouble opening it with even two hands. Is there a similar tool, perhaps with a button or slide thing, that a one-handed person could use and carry safely in his pocket? I know he would be thrilled.
Thanks for your time.
 
Boy, you came to the right place for advice on that subject. Check out www.spyderco.com for a wide variety of high-quality, variously sized cutting tools, mostly operable one-handed. You can purchase these via www.1sks.com, and help support this site as well. Good luck, and I hope you find something that makes your godson's life easier.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wow, this is the first time I have ever loved the web! I will go right to these links and will be happy to support the site as a consequence. Peter will be so psyched to have tools he can use! Again, many thanks.

You're very welcome. Lots of good people here; let us know what you decide to get and how Peter likes it. I would suggest the Delica, probably serrated, for a fairly inoffensive, high-quality knife, but there's lots of other good ones for a little more or a little less money. Part of it, I would guess, is what is easiest and safest for your godson to close one-handed.
