Here’s something a little fun and different. The Buck Redpoint knife is truly a unique one-hand opener, because it locks both in the open and closed position. We played with a yellow-handled version, but it comes in black and blue as well.
To unlock the knife and open in it, you simply slide the red point backward with your thumb, and use your index finger to stroke backward on the ridges on the back of the knife. For a knife that isn’t assisted, it doesn’t hesitate to rotate open and lock into place. To unlock and close the knife, you again slide the red point back with your thumb, but this time you use your index finger to stroke forward on the ridges on the back of the knife. It’s almost unbelievable how easy it is to open and close the Buck Redpoint with one hand.
Here are some more details about this knife:
