It's quite easy to open, if you look at the image the blade has this small piece attached to it, called a thumb-stud. It can also open with a flip of the wrist. Plus, I use my instinct to avoid situations but if I have no choice to put myself vulnerable (say I'm in a petrol station) I have it ready in my hand, concealed. It can be opened in 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.
I haven't been in situations to use it yet, but I have been mugged twice when I was younger. Having a gun pointed at your face twice by Crips gang members certainly doesn't discourage me to use it. But California law is quite specific on using it as a last resort.
I used to carry pepper spray but I ran out. Need to buy another one.
