It's true. Leatherman pliers can be opened one handed...but not as easily...for me at least. I can get the pliers to deploy under it's own weight, no flick required.

If I used the knife as a knife, the one hand opening blade would be a real sell for me (I've had my eye out for the new SOG tools for this reason). I've been contemplating the Skeletool CX as a replacement for the pocket knife I take to work because I can't get away with carrying a multitool on my belt and somehow folding pliers are more acceptable these days than any knife.
