One Handed opening Swisstool from Victorinox

That got your attention didn't it??

I have been doing some work in the Wiki on the Swisstools and have also started carrying the Spirit I got for Christmas on my belt at the weekends. Love the Spirt BTW

This has got me fiddling with the Swisstools - What I have found out, is that I can open and close every single tool on the Spirit and the Swisstool with one hand, just using the nail nicks !!   

It takes a little practice - But it's really pretty easy and quick (should make a video)
I think I saw a post from enki (or maybe even a youtube video) talking about oho regular SAKs and that got me started on this.

OHO the Swisstools is actually easier than OHO a traditional SAK - I guess as the springs on the Swisstool are not as strong as those on a SAK, as they have the lock.
I could even open the pliers, but needed the assistance of my chest for the Swisstool regular.

I was pretty chuffed and put this down to the silky smooth operation of the Swisstools - and thought to myself  -  'I bet I cannot do this on the Wave'  ...... But guess what - You can

Of course not as easy as tools designed for OHO  - But this could come in handy  Check it out !!
I myself don't normally have a burning requirement for OHO - But this has already been useful on a couple of occasions

He made a video on OHO-ing the Spirit too:


It's a fun thing to practice, but drives my wife crazy.  click ... click click ... click click ... click click ...

Hard without fingernails still.
Also Swisstools with scissors are hard to get out. The scissors always get stuck (at least on every three Swisstools I have tried). But with practise this will work out. Good job!
