can this knife be easily closed with one hand?

Absolutely. I'm a girl and although my hands are probably large by "female hand standards", I have no issues closing it with one hand. Hope this helps!

Not for me...however I have some broken fingers from playing football that never quite healed correctly. I will tell you that out of all the assisted opening knives I own Spyderco, CRKT, Kershaw I find me carrying the Kershaws most of all. I hope that helps. They are great knives and I own several. Good Luck!

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.

After playing around with the knife more and more it does get easier to close with one hand . I do recamend this knife, it is amazing!

Yes, if you push it against your leg a bit. I have done it with just my hand but I find the blade is really tight so it's hard. I also will tell you the assisted opening is really the only way to open it. The studs are decent but not great.

it gets a little tricky since the belt clip may be in the way for a left handed person. there is a "thumb rest" on both sides of the blade so it will open the same right or left. it's just a matter of getting the knife in position to open it. it opens quick and strong. if you want to take the belt clip off and carry it in your pocket for EDC then I have no problem saying "GET THIS KNIFE!!!"

Not sure of your question. There is a thumb tab for opening blade as well as a notch at the base of the blade your index finger can assist opening. The lock is spring steel, operated to close the blade. This is a no-frills, handy, comfortable knife for a great price.

It's pretty smooth. Not super fast, but this knife is made to be opened one-handed even with gloves on.

Yes. The knife has a safety which is easy to flick with your thumb. The knife has very good action and opens with one hand easily.

Frame lock requires 2 hands to close the knife, although it can be opened with only one hand. The handle / frame has to be held open while starting the closing of the blade.

I've been using it for several months & not had an issue with the open bottom. I guess if you wanted to close it in you could cut a piece of cardboard or some material to fit the opening but I really don't see an issue with it. Handling it with normal use, your fingers shouldn't come any where near the blades but to each his own.

You just move the little blade lock in the cut out on the front bottom of the knife handle. It should move easily and close easily or maybe it's defective.

Yes, the blade has a locking mechanism which needs to be depressed before knife will close. I always use two hands to close the knife.

No, you have to open the multi tool and lock out the blade.In order to close it you have to push in the handle tabs to release to locking mechanism.

It takes a little repetition but it gets easier pretty quickly. I find it's easiest to pull the little nub on the back with my index finger, rather than the bar on the blade. Mine opens super quick and easy with just the one finger now. One-handed opening! I love this knife!

Yes. You can flip it around so whichever hand you prefer is holding the knife.

Yes, it is easily closed with one hand as well as controlled with one hand. It is a very smooth operating stroller and was specifically designed to a light weight easy to use stroller.

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

Unless it is broken it should be relatively easy to close. Hold it blade away from you with the sharp edge up. Look in the handle, there should be a small metal tab in the middle of the handle that you would push over to the left to unlock the blade. This is a standard locking mechanism for many knives. Hope that helps!

The screws can come loose over time. If you're the least bit handy, I'd recommend disassembling this knife when you get it and using Loctite or another thread locker on the screws. I haven't had any issues with screws loosening after doing so.The knife is very easy to open with one hand. There is a nub on the sharp side of the blade that protrudes far enough to allow you to start the open with your index finger and then "whip" the blade rest of the way out. You can also use the thumb stud to open the knife up one-handed.

If by assisted you mean a "pop-lock or switchblade", then no. There is a thumb tang that let's the user open the knife with a single hand. Hope that helps in your buying decision.
