On Pionner's website, this is just listed as the Camillus CUDA, but which model is it? http://216.71.158.68/webcat/0331dee23424new.shtml
Also, how do you open it single handed?

That's a Camillus Cuda. You one-hand open it by pushing on the slider.

for the one in the link you posted, there are:
regular size spear point/tanto point
min spear point/tanto point
your link shows one tanto point, although I'd have to look up the dimension somewhere else to see if it's regular sized or not.

the MAXX cuda is a liner lock folder with integral guard, it is opened via a thumb stud or using the "flipper" motion with the flared guards. it has either a bowie or stilleto point, titanium handle, blue anodized. there will be a limited run of "Gibb's MAXX" with a 7" blade, but you should pre-order for that one.
the cuda you show in the link has a g-10 handle and a quick opening button, sliding it through the channel will open the knife, completely different knife, besides being much cheaper(now days anyway).
camillus has an entire line of "CUDA" knives, there is also a selection of fixed blade, either with black blade and nylon/kydex sheath or bead blasted blade with kydex sheath/teklok. both types can be had in two blade lengths.
if you are looking for a "big" folder, might I suggest cold steel's "Vaquero Grande", it is .5 inches bigger than the MAXX cuda, but has a zytel handle, has a rocker bar lock, and it is only half the cost of the MAXX, try to find an earlier one though, since I think cold steel is switching over to 420 steel.

CUDA Quick-Action Large Tanto
Garage Boy:
CUDA (Camillus Ultra Design Advantage) is a "sub-brand" of Camillus that mainly focuses on EDC and one hand opening type knives. I think the model you listed is one the first CUDA knives, and was given the name CUDA (Quick Action Tanto). That model isn't made anymore, now the CUDA series includes the EDC, MAXX, Arc Lite, and CQB series.
Edit: Don't wanna leave out the Talon/mini-Talon; I guess I should also include the Aftermath and Dominator!
