With difficulty. Would have to use your body and feet Would be heavy to lift in and out of car as well.

Yes, I checked it out and if you push down on one of the handles it opens and to close brace on chest and pull

Yes it's easy to close. Just kick the brace underneath and it closes easy. I love this item. I use it everyday

you can definitely open it using just one hand, however it's not as simple as lifting a lever or pulling on a latch it's a two step process, you must to press the button with your thumb and then pull.

It is possible to open it with one hand because the action will loosen over time.I wouldn't replace it, i'm a knife enthusiast and I've never been more happy with a large folder

You can, but then you won't be able to close it. The opening is sort of a flat bottomed oval shape, 1/2" X 1/4". Hope this helps.

The directions say to use both hands, one with your thumb on the switch and the other on the other side if the handle to kept it steady. That's how I did it since I'm not strong. I think you might be able to hold it with one hand - it's lightweight - but you'd have to have one strong hand and arm and be careful.

Yes, no difference which hand you use. I have opened it one-handed both right and left.

Hi Susan,Yes, you can leave both ends open, and it also gives you the option of keeping the closed part on. The allen key tightens it down, and you're in business.

With a little practice you can do it with one hand. Does not have a quick close.

Yes > The knife can easily be opened and used with one hand. It comes sharp from the factory. dt

Well sure you could but that would defeat the purpose of being able to use it with one hand

No Sir it can not. I like this feature for safety. You can close it with one hand easily once you get use to it.

Yes, I am able to open it one handed. It's on the large side for a salt keeper but it's slides open easily so I am able to open it with one hand when the other is messy!

Not at all you will need both hands, I only bought it for looks but it is kind of impractical. Hope this helps!

Yeah you just have to snap and unsnap it a few times. I can open and close mine with one hand. I had the same issue as you when i first received mine

I can open mine one handed. I carry it in a back or front pocket of jeans can also slide the case in & out of my pocket easily with one hand.

You can close one handed without using your leg to push against. Use Greg's method above, but you can start folding with your index finger on the release that you used to open the blade and then finish with your thumb. See my vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krMkPHCPRTo
