One nice result of this is that assisted-opening knives have experienced something of a design renaissance the last few years. I carry a Ken Onion Kershaw that opens very nicely with one finger, which is a good thing, because I’m usually holding something in the other hand when it turns out I need it. It is not a fighting knife. I do not dance in a chorus line before gang fights. “When ya a Jet ya a Jet all da way, from yer first cigarette to ya last dyin’ day...”
“Ken Onion Kershaw”
I carry a black Ken Onion Leek (1660CKT). It’s a great tool...have it out 6-8 times a day. Very, very handy.
I also have the Shallot. While it’s a little big for constant carry, when it swings open and locks in place, you KNOW you’re holding on to a substantial piece of equipment.
