This might be a very uk future-law proof knife... I was looking at the boker wasabi and kizer Zipslip but I think one hand opening knives may soon be on the naughty list. You could possibly pass this off as a 2 hand opener I reckon.
Steaming Bovril there has been an amendment to the new definition of flick knife to allow for thumb studs etc Knives opened manually, including those opened with a thumb stud, will not fall under the new definition. Similarly, knives with a mechanism that opens the blade slightly but not completely and need to be opened fully by hand will not fall under the definition. We are very conscious of representations made by tree surgeons and others, and we have tried to encompass their concerns. The definition will ensure that knives for a situation in which it is necessary to open a knife with one hand are available in the market. For tree surgeons, for example, the fact of their occupation would lend them comfort under the Bill.
I like my little bean gen 2 and with a bit of practice you can flick it open like the suru but with your thumb from the front ,the fura copy I think you will like as it definitely has the fiddle factor 😃
I like the look of the Bean apart from the one sided scale,, hows the ball bearing opening holding up? I picked up a crkt liong mah and the blade just folds pathetically on mine at the slightest hint of pressure on the spine, thanks for the review :)
My main issue is it's so right hand biased it would be absolutely impossible for a southpaw like me to use. Serge Panchenko does this all the bloody time, it's like he hates lefthanders or something.
From another TH-cam channel the blade swings on bearings...nice!
Tempted, very tempted

Sorry for leading you astray.... again! I blame that naughty boy Paddy!
😂 darn him! I'm liking it so far, putting my pinky on the g10 makes it much easier to open as well!
Size doesn't matter.
