I realize this is my first post, but I believe it is possible to open the new wave left handed, and without modification (which I believe voids the excellant warranty). I own one, and the first thing I checked when I got it was to see how I could open all the tools one handed, with either hand.

I just push the the knife out with my index or middle finger, and then bring it the rest of the way up with my thumb. Admittedly, it is slightly harder to close one handed. For that, I depress the lock with my middle finger, and push the blade down with my index until it is out of the lock. Then just bring it home with the thumb.

I do the same thing right handed to open the file. The saw is a bit too difficult to bring out like this on my wave. I usually have to resort to the finger nail pull. Still, I can open and close all the tools one handed (with the exception of changing the double headed screwdriver. That still has me stumped), and it is an excellant quality tool. I highly reccomend it.
