A knife an "axis lock" can be set-up and maintained to operate one handed. My preferred carry is a Benchmade Griptilian.
Hmm, I can open and close any of my SOG or Kershaw spring assist knives single handed, even off hand as that's where I learned to carry them. The SOG lock is easier to disengage than the liner locks, but they're still workable.
