Funny, I've carried a Spyderco on and off (mostly on) since the 1980's. I just recently "bothered" to learn how to close it one handed (without bumping the back of the blade on my thigh, which is how I closed it for years).

Pretty much as above, I hold the knife and depress the lock with my index finger near the blade (Endura usually in my case, though I have a Native and others). I let gravity drop the blade, catch it with my index finger on the choil, and finish with the thumb in the hole (or back of the blade).

Really like Spyderco's. But when I went to work in Iraq, I bought a Benchmade Griptillian. Got very used to that Axis lock, very cool and switchblade fast (open and close). Very nice!
