One. Depress comp lock with thumb while flicking wrist. The choil comes to rest on my index finger. My thumb completes the closing by depressing the thumb ramp until closed. Perhaps my favorite Spydie to close.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Thanks everyone. Seems there are many ways to disengage the compression lock and finish off the close. I prefer a one hand style with my folders. I was hoping this can be achieved with the Para.
Easy one hand closing is one of the main reasons this knife gets so much EDC time for me. That's one feature that pretty much dictates what I carry at work.
No other knife (even my other Spydie's) have been near my pockets since purchasing the FGD2 Para.
When I had mine I would just use my pointer finger and depress the lock with it while keeping my hand clear of the blade. I would flick my wrist and the blade would fold into the handle, I usually opened it the same way.
Those who choose to live a life without risks, arrive safely at death's door.

I use the same method to, IMO its the easiest and safest way for the para.
or sometimes i also disengage the lock with my thumb and i flick it until my index finger stops the blade at the choil, and than i rotate the knife with 90 degree, and close it with another flick (same style as i do with back locks) :D
para is a true one hand design, you cant go wrong with it :spyder:
