Now they want your knives.......

Other than being a cool toy I can't figure out why you would need such a knife? I carried a classic folding knife for years. I'm drawing a blank trying to think of a single time I actually needed to...

...instantly spring the blade fully open after you have used the knurled thumb stud to open the blade approximately 30 degrees.

My brother lost his right arm in a motorcycle accident when he was 17. Have you ever tried to open a knife with your teeth? Try it 25 times and report back to me.

I have used it many times. The last time was at a downed Blackhawk. I used one hand/arm to support crew members still in the webbing while I drew my knife & opened it with the other hand & cut the webbing.
Also at Car accidents. It's handy to have one arm free to use commo or assist with stoppage of bleeding & employ the knife with the other hand to cut seatbelts.
As a youth on a farm I used the same technique to draw my knife & cut haybales with one hand while pulling the bailing twine with the other & shaking out the bale.
