Is this knife as easy to open and close, one handed for left handed people?

It is certainly easy for a right-handed person. I can easily open it with my left hand, though that's not my dominant hand, so I am very confident that the answer is yes.

Being it's a smaller knife, it's not as easy to flip it open by the spydiehole. But, just holding normally left or right handed and opening with your thumb is easy.

this knife is to small to open fast,you almost need two hands.the next size larger will be more comfortable opening and closing.

Yes I find it hard to open as I have small hands ( 5.5" from base of palm to middle finger). If I use one hand to open comfortably the widest gap between the tip of the blades is &lt;1", so to make it functional I have to stretch my 4 fingers and the thumb to pry open up the handle.

This knife is hands down the best one i have ever owned, i work stock for my local grocery store and needed something better than the joke of a knife they provided, i am left handed and i have had no issues useing it in either hand

I believe so. Although I am a right handed person, I do not see any problems using the knives either by right or left hands.

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

I would think so. I am right-handed, but I hold the main apparatus in my left hand to open a can and turn the opener handle with my right. Everything is very smooth.

It opens like a regular folding knife. However it is assisted. This has one of the stronger assisted opens that I have seen. It opens pretty fast and with total ease.

No but it only requires a light flick of the wrist and the design allows you to flip the knife closed too which is great if your hands are full. This is an outstanding knife. I have carried SOG and CRKT knives and this is by far my favorite knife.

yes. there's a small lever on the back side and if you apply pressure the blade will flick open. The blade is spring loaded. It's ideal for one-hand blade usage. This is a great knife!

I actually went to the kitchen and checked whether you could twist the handle with your left hand. You cannot. But the handle twists VERY easily so if you have even just a little bit of strength in your right hand, I believe it would be easy to use. I just love mind and it has lasted for many many years and still opens cans easily - but I am right handed.

No, it's used for single hand opening. You snag it with the side of your thumb that you are holding the knife with to open it.

No. I own two small Griptilians and two large. They are excellent knives and very easy to open manually.

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

The Schrade IMP16S Imperial Stainless Steel 3 Blade Pocket Knife is very easy to open. No problem at all.

Yes, it is easy to flip open with one hand using the flipper and when the blade is fully extended thew flipper serves as a finger guard.If the blade is too stiff to flip open a #8 Torx driver can be used to loosen the blade pivot.

It is not spring assisted, it does open easily with one hand and flick of the wrist though. it is a very sharp knife and the edge is easily maintained.
