Yeah, I don’t know how big your hands are, but mine are a solid average size (I’m 5′10, 190lbs). It opens easily and safely with one hand. I just begin the motion by pushing the little screw, and then either continue the motion to extend it to the locked position, or give it a little flip. Closing is fairly safe as well, with that little finger guard on the back of the blade.

I actually just picked one of these up from Target because I remembered reading this review. :) I like it a lot. I keep it clipped in my back pocket, so I don’t abrade my hands (wallet is in front pocket).

I’ve found that I can open it fairly easily with one hand using the little screw for friction. But my hands are a bit smaller than yours.

Nice design idea. Too bad there are some design flaws. For $10, I’d still give it a try.

That is an AWESOME tip!! I just confirmed it works with a dime or a penny. A nickle and quarter are too big.

Good thinking, and thanks for the nice complement.

I bought one of these at Target as well! I just noticed on mine that you can change the blade with a coin (i just used a dime, a penny would be cheaper) so if you have spare change you won’t have to look around for a screwdriver. Thought you might find that useful.

Great review BTW. As usual.
