Why not assisted? I have both, and like both.

I’ve heard some have had the assisted open inside their pocket. I haven’t experienced that *knocking on wood*

Not so much the assisted opening part, love that.  But it’s the closing that I find frustrating.  I like opening/closing with one hand and it’s difficult for me to close an assisted knife with one hand because of the detent it hits halfway down.  I always feel like I’m gonna cut myself...  then again, I have wee little hands... 😕

Ahh. Gotcha. Know what you mean. I usually close/fold on my leg.

Lots of Spyderco fans do those open/close tricks. I got ok good at them at one time.
