how difficult is the axis lock to operate with only the thumb? I have limited range of motion in my index finger so I cannot use that.

You can't go wrong with this knife. I love mine. Axis lock is the best of any other knives with similar locking systems I have used.

It's a cinch to deploy. Retraction I think would be difficult. I've lost all my benchmades so I can't test. To be honest, I've gotten drunk and threw 500 dollars worth of knife away recently. I'm drunk right now, actually. You could do it with me middle finger, I think, but then your palm might be exposed too much. I suggest deploying with your dominant hand and retracting with your weak hand if at all possible.

It's not too bad at all. I just tried it. The lever works in such a way that you don't need to pull both sides at once. You can pull the lock with your thumb and then close the blade with your other hand or against your body. On knives with heavier blades, or on knives that have loosened up a bit the blade may fall as soon as you depress the lock.

It's somewhat difficult, if you don't use both fingers the lock and sometimes bind. It meant to be used with both fingers, I recommend you go to your local knife store and try it out!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just tried working the axis lock with my thumb only, and it's a breeze. You should not have any trouble.

I only use it on a middle finger. I don't know how it would work on your thumb. if it were me I woulduse a thumb splint. so sorry I can't be more help to you

Its fairly simple the angles are changed with a button the size of your thumb not too much pressure is needed to press it down. I think maybe 2-3 buttons were a little hard, as long as you make sure your angles fall on the line (they are measure like a compass) than you wont have to much trouble. :)

Your able to move your fingers a bit. It doesn't like completely stop you from moving your finger at all.

You can move your hand. Depending on how tight you make the grip it may restrict access to some of the minor controls.

I do not think it will. You can adjust the x movement, the y is a thumbscrew, there is no azimuth adjustment.

Your thumbs, which work the roller part of the roller mouse, might be too far away if you're using one of those keyboards that slope upward. It may still be better than a regular mouse that you have to reach for. I hope that helps.

I use claw grip but you may find that you accidentally press the third finger key when moving the mouse to the left since you don't have much grip on the mouse with claw grip.

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

I have arthritis in my wrist and can use it with no difficulty. If you can hold the jar with one hand & push the handle of the opener with the heel of your other hand, it shouldn't have to involve your thumb on that hand. My concern would be the thumb of the hand with which you are holding the jar. We find it to be a very helpful tool.

Yes that is correct. sorry for responding so late. I guess they did it that way because of the way you are holding the remote. Your thumb is right next to the left click, you get used to it :)

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

You simply rotate it with your finger. Each rotation sort of "locks" in place, but it is pretty easy to rotate to the next step.

There is a feature for pressing 1 x or 2 x for locking....But not NO times....That is all I got!

Keeping in mind that I am so used to using it left handed the quick attempti made produced awkward results, however if someone has never used it before I suppose they could get used to using it that way. The keys themselves are not pitched more in one direction or another as to make themselves unusable if pressed with the other hand. Something worth pointing out is that your thumb is kinda just left hanging there with nothing to support it. So while not ideal, it is still doable.

Can you use your pinkie like a thumb? I'm fairly good with my left hand and I THINK I could learn to use it left handed.
