How easy is the asisted opening? I have a Gerber and it's extremely difficult

It's super easy to open. I use my knife daily and have never had a problem.

Not sure what Gerber you have but my Gerber & Kershaw are easier to open but what more to you want from a cheaper knife

It takes a little repetition but it gets easier pretty quickly. I find it's easiest to pull the little nub on the back with my index finger, rather than the bar on the blade. Mine opens super quick and easy with just the one finger now. One-handed opening! I love this knife!

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

Not very difficult, a little practice and training will go a long way. I can retrieve my weapon in 3 to 5 seconds. Overall I belive its a nice bag with lots of space and well made.

It's difficult - I haven't found an easier way than just 'strength'... I do love how it opens to make the hair/dirt removal easier...

That would happen of the bade is too tight. A little bit of loosening up and a spot of oil does the job but I find that the initial groove does not hinder the knife opening later. This is because it is not an assisted opening and kept quite tight.

This is the method that works for me. Hold opener in both hands, facing the underside with pointy side up. With thumbs on either side of the round cutter, push up! It goes right back the same way, only it's easier going back on. I hope this helps you out. Debera

The opening is of a reasonable size so it's easy to get started. You do need to push firmly to get it deep enough to lock well but it's not excessive. Same goes for removal; you'll need a firm tug but it's not so much that you'll bang your hand on somehing when it disengages.

Mine was very easy to open when I received it. I actually bent the metal prong a little to make it more secure. But you can adjust it however you like.

There's a very easy way to open this, but you need fingernail. If it's on your keychain, put the rest of your keys in the palm of your hand, with thumb and finger holding the head of this utility key (on the flat sides, not the edges). Then with your other hand, put your index finger to the back, along side the groove of the screw driver to anchor it, the thumb and nail into the grove on the blade and gently PUSH. It will slide open easily without hurting your nail while giving you full control. Your other keys won't drop to the ground either.

It is very hard to open. I actually start at the top and once I pry it a little bit I take a butter knife or a small flat head screwdriver and slowly work my along the opening. It works wonders and makes it super easy. Although it's a total pain to get off I actually kind of prefer it to be because I know that my phone is completely protected. Once you get it about halfway it pops off pretty easy.

There is some type of spring mechanism that helps the blade fully open. Try looking it up on YouTube to see how it works.

I found the easiest way to do this is to take a knife and on the side where there is a lip and a small opening just gently pry it open. It does fit quite snugly but I wouldn't worry about it breaking.

Yes I find it hard to open as I have small hands ( 5.5" from base of palm to middle finger). If I use one hand to open comfortably the widest gap between the tip of the blades is &lt;1", so to make it functional I have to stretch my 4 fingers and the thumb to pry open up the handle.

No, at first it is a little tough to do until it gets worn down, but if you turn the open blade towards yourself and look at the handle, there is a piece that is oblique in there. Push the top of that piece so it is straight up and when that piece is straight up you can close the blade. That is the locking system. Simple, but proven effective. It'll get easier and easier to close.

The Schrade IMP16S Imperial Stainless Steel 3 Blade Pocket Knife is very easy to open. No problem at all.

Being it's a smaller knife, it's not as easy to flip it open by the spydiehole. But, just holding normally left or right handed and opening with your thumb is easy.

It is not easy... especially the first time! Look for the "latched" part on the long edge. Kind of push in the one part and pry the other apart. Once it has been opened, it is a little easier the next time. Hope this helps a little. I'm sorry I don't know how to be more specific in writing.

Ive had no problems with the TAC force knife and is less expensive its also the right size for me. The assisted open is ok also works fine and hasnt fallen apart. I dont own a kershaw but have checked them out and id rather buy a Gerber if im going to pay money for a real good knife, but i have 3 tac force knives and they all work for me.
