Below is the youtube video of another Maserin folder that shows you how it can be opened with one-hand. You can fast-forward to 12:50 min. to see the flipper in action.

dtw898I like the jimping on the one with the black scales. They seem to open very smoothly.

DOBTruckersGood catch, didn't even notice that there are no jimping on this Maserin FLY 383 drop. The jimping will make a big difference by providing traction to flip the blade open.

dtw898Thanks for the video.
I think he flips the Maserin open at around 10:54 min. He flips open the Skellern knife at around 12.50 min.
It appears both knives use the same kind of flipping mechanism. Does the this Maserin dropping here have the same flipping tab?
I have a couple of those Skellern knives. The flipping mechanism works fine, but is a bit unusual.
I find that I have to use my thumb and apply forward and downward pressure in order to roll the blade out of its resting position. If the pivot is just a bit tight, there's no real positive flipping. It just slowly rolls open, tracking they motion of your thumb. So not as satisfying as opening a traditional thumb stud knife.
I hear you can also flip your wrist to open it. I haven't tried that with my Skellerns, but I suppose that is also an option, if a quite dramatic one (you may not always want to draw that much attention to yourself).
