I had difficulty at first. It took practice, and even now, after several months, it doesn't always go smoothly.

yes....although you have to be able to hold the can that you are opening....i think there are better one-handedcan openers on the market....try checking the handicapped sites!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't. I've owned several swiss army knives, they have all been quote easy to open. It will loosen up eventually.

if you loosen the screws sufficiently, I suppose the blade could be opened by flipping the knife. but if the screws are 'factory' setting, or you tighten them when needed, you WILL have to use your fingers to open it.

I can open mine one handed. I carry it in a back or front pocket of jeans can also slide the case in & out of my pocket easily with one hand.

Yes you only need one hand. All you do is place it on top of the can and push the button. The opener will do the rest.

No it's not. However, one handed opening is very easy and it has very reliable locking. When you hear it lock it will STAY locked. Its a great knife. Super sharp and definitely worth the price.

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.

The knife doesn't have a thumb indent alongside the blade, so you have to get a fingernail in the seam to open it. Not hard but a pain. To close, you need to push in the retaining bar that locks the blade in place. Again, not hard, but a little more effort than opening. I'm 62 with slightly arthritic hands and generally have no problem opening or closing.

If by assisted you mean a "pop-lock or switchblade", then no. There is a thumb tang that let's the user open the knife with a single hand. Hope that helps in your buying decision.

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.

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.

the small scissor is spring loaded for use, the rest is not, but you can easily open them. the knifes are designed for easy one finger (thumb) opening.

Yes, it is very easy to open and close with only one hand. Just pull up and turn to open, will latch itself when you swing it closed.

I am not sure, maybe not. But, However after about 1 or 2 hours of playing around I can wave it open with ease! but I am sure it is a Great knife. when you get a little of practice.

You need both hands to initiate the fold (there are finger triggers on each handle) but once they have been pressed you can complete the fold one handed and opening is possible one handed... Hope this helps
