I like the knife. It has opened many cans and such, but I have a complaint. I don't know if all SAKs are like this: I can open it fine with one hand, but the locking mechanism goes left when locked. That means I have to pull it with my thumb to close the knife. I usually just use two hands. It would be great for a left handed person. Come to think of it, Lt. Geiger is left handed. Maybe he got a left handed model.
