Its not assited but it flies opn with just a slight flick of your thumb.This is my favorite knife hands down.I even like it better than my Zero Totelerance 0560

nope, its thumbstuds. Play with a little or put some teflon lube and it opens easily.

No, it's manual via the use of ambidextrous thumbstuds. The opening is smooth and gets smoother over time.

While holding the opener in your right hand, you would have to push a couple of fingers from the right hand against the other half of the handle to open it up, but it can be done. I am able to use it one handed.

It is not assisted opening in the sense of a spring-loaded action. It does have a thumb tab that can be used to help open it easily with one hand although it is also just as easy to open with one hand without using the thumb tab. Once it is opened about an inch manually, it is very easy to open the rest of the way with a flick of the wrist. I consider this the best of both worlds, since a spring assisted opening might make it illegal to carry in some areas.

You just push down on the assist open part and it will just flip out, you dont need to pull it out but yes, you do pull out enless you push the assisted opening part then it will come out its self

To open, you press on a lever like part of the blade. Basically top center of assembly in picture of it when open. Its mild pressure and almost an assisted open. Much easier than thumb opening. I have used mine daily for quite a while and works flawlessly.

No. Which I've come to appreciate. It does take thumb strength to open it up quickly. Very well made though.

No, it only opens as shown in the picture - hinge on the right, opening from left to right.

No this is not an auto open on this model. Feel free to look at other models I carry that do have assisted open.

That would be very awkward to load and open but yes, mine opens in any attitude.

No. This can open was made for light duty and easy carry. Great for survival & emergency use but definitely not easier to use than the basic twist-handled opener.

It's assisted open. Your kid could open it! Be careful. Your kid could open it. You just hit a grip on the back on the finger guard, tuck your fingers, and pop! She'll get after the first two times. The back of the blade is not sharpened, so it will not cause damage upon opening. It's easy to use, quick to release, and is more cool to look at. Buy two!

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.

No, it is a spring assisted knife. You will flip it open and the spring will complete the action. It is a fast opening knife, just not the type, where you press a button and it opens.
