I do not like the handle covers either Mac! They are So annoying!! I do know how easy they are to pop off with gloves on! I have never popped one off on accident bare handed but, the one handed opening is AWESOME! I am thinking about getting a gerber clutch or LM micra next, Which one? Other reccomendations are welcome too! $35 or less range though. Willing to buy used!

Also.. I called SOG and they told me the powerlock was assembled in america with SOME american made parts. All other parts come from taiwan! Worse than mexico! SOG just lost ALOT of points from me too!
