Will having a cowboy hat will turn me into a cowboy?

I've always had a sense of superiority over folks overly consciuos opening and closing slipjoints. Then I realized that only time helped me to be confident using them-careful use, but knowing limitations, and not worrying about unexpected folding over my fingurs. Fast forward to this summer when I decided to use my ESEE cr2.5. Few times I was very close to get a cut for chores very safe if done with slipjoints even with weak spring. More, I visited few times a stores with Spyderco and Benchmade brands to check the feeling in hand and eventually to buy one. What is the point to have one if I will never open them with one hand - I do not think I will ever be brave enough to try tht. Silly but true. So, how confident are you using your knive, and do you think you reached your learning curve of handling different knives or different tasks is platoeued or et least is nearly horizontal?
 
I have no difficulty holding or using any knife or knives I’ve come across.
So am I a knife cowboy ?
 
I am a cowboy!
I own and carry all types... auto( otf & side), one hand'rs, slip joints.

I'm confident using and opening them, but I respectfully use them for their intended purpose.
 
Not only am I confident with my knives, but I'm extremely ashamed and embarrassed to say that I play with them while driving. I know, extremely stupid. In fact, I think I need to rethink that... I play with my knives all the time with one hand, and the other hand on the mouse when I'm on my computer though.

Car's on steering assist and cruise control and I have a knife in each hand while I type this. Also wearing only a cowboy hat and nothing else.

OK, seemingly my post is perceived as insulting the whole community, and some took it personally. My appologies! Or, the first few responces set the tone. Or, probably the "click bite" style of the title triggered this. What triggered my post is my attempt to self-constrain of buying more knives instead of using what I have. No problem with making fun of me, but please do not feel insulted!

Edited for spelling
