I wear Kevlar lined goatskin gloves with 200 grams of Thinsulate; they make your gloves seem thin (I've tried the ones you are talking about).

I don't have a Paramilitary, But my Military is super easy to open and close with them.
With those gloves on, almost no knife with a thumb-stud or thumb-disk can be opened, certainly not without great difficulty.

When I have those gloves on, it's Spyder-hole, flipper, or fixed blade.
 
Ah...that puts a damper on that then. Have you thought of trying one of the Salt knives? They have an extra large opening hole also to facilitate gloved use, and I also find my Tasman and Spyderhawk to be quite easy to use while wearing gloves. The backlock mechanism doesn't seem to be too much of a hassle with gloves, though from a self defence perspective the opening would be top priority.
 
I have been buying-selling-trading folders for about ten years....fixed blade skinners and filleting knives for decades...

I bought my first Spyderco earlier this spring..

Now I have six Spyderco's....

....

anyhow I would like to share that it is as if each model has it own personality....sounds a little far fetched perhaps....but when you hold a Spyderco knife, and use it, and then hold and use a different model...they all feel well thought out, extremely well built, comfortable and sturdy in the hand...get one or a couple and enjoy....

The Spyderhole, the Compression Lock, and the obsession (I'm gonna call it obsession) with making the best steel available at production prices.
