I have one of these, calling it a one handed is a bit of a stretch.
While it can be opened with one hand, it's a HUGE pain in the ass to do so.
It's impossible to close one handed, so it's not truly a one handed knife.
That said, it does have the quailty one would expect from Victorinox.

In my opinion this is the best of the swiss army knives. Amazo n has it for $30 with a free classic knife and free shipping.

Hey pennybags, you must not be very coordinated. I can open this knife easily with either hand. Its also possible to close it with one hand, although that takes a little more dexterity.

Opening with one hand is pretty hard, closing one handed is easy. Hold the lock and press the blade against your leg to close.. I've had the version without the saw since '89, still in my back pocket. This knife is badass for everyday use.

It's not as easy to open or close as say, a CRKT pocket knife, but then I wouldn't expect a multi-tool to be either.
The more I look at it, the more I think mine is a different version, or something. Since both the main blade and say lock. I found the only way to unlock the blade is to open another one.
Also I thought this knife was a bit too bulky for a daily carry, others seem to disagree, but then I also don't put my wallet in my back pocket either. I guess I just don't like carrying around anything extra in my pants.
And yes, I am happy to see you!
