How difficult is it to close a picklock one-handed? Have seen a Campolin Picklock i love the look of, but knives that have to be closed two handed bug me.
It seems like a strange question to ask, i know. But since i have never owned a picklock, i do have to ask.
(Thanks )

Re: Closing a picklock one handed...
Most are difficult for me just using "only" one hand. If I lift on the tab with thumb and pointer finger and close blade with my leg, I guess you could call that "one hand and a leg". lol
I haven't owned very many picklocks- or practiced much. The ones I did own differed in difficulty. I always liked the larger tabbed ones.

Re: Closing a picklock one handed...
I can close the smaller picklocks with one hand, the bigger they are the harder and depending on how much give the locktab has.
On the off chance you only have one functional hand, you are actually exempt from some switchblade bans in several jurisdictions, I believe.

The Italians conquered this problem by inventing the swivel bolster years ago. Or was it Bill DeShivs...
