With the Milwaukee, you hold a button and flick your wrist to open/ close it. makes it easy to use with one hand. any knives with a regular blade that do this? thanks

Always been a fan of butterfly knives.

If you don't know how to use one, make sure you put masking tape on the edge until you're comfortable with it.

You can buy dull trainers too.

Check local laws, some places ban butterflies by name.

Might be banned as a "balisong". Lost mine, but I had it in my utility belt to work at camp. Worked well when I had another handful. Takes some practice to get the swing of it down pat.
