As some of you know, I have been a Gerber LST fan and user from the 1980s. I have also sold them for 30 years.
I have found a easy mod to turn your LST into a one hand opening knife. I cut a piece of velcro about 1/4" deep and 1" long and stuck it on the top of the blade near the handle. It opens just great---smooth and easy. I used the velcro side with the burrs on it (not the soft side). The kind I used had a self sticking side that attached to the blade. Cost--a few pennies, time--under 30 seconds.
A note about the LST. The ones I use are the older models with a nail nick in the blade. Sometimes I also use the newer 400 models. The newer Gerbers do not have the good steel the older ones had. Also, I have found the newer ones were not as smooth in my opinion.
My camera is broken, so I can't show photos, but I hope the information is helpful.
Blessings, Bryan

I meant to say that the newer models following the 400 Gerber were not as good. Bryan

It's a shame that the LST II is not made anymore.It was a great idea. I have 2 and wish I had bought more.
