They also look like the end finishes a fraction too far along - imagine it would dig into the forefinger.
Is the rinkals able to be opened one handed?

Mine is not able to be opened one-handed - it has a pretty firm pull, probably about an 8 if a SAK is a 5. The clip has never bothered me though.

Shame, wonder if the skeletonised blade makes it possible. Do they have a half stop?

Mine are all the skeletonized
No, The open nail nick does not make it any easier to open one handed. It is a two handed knife with a half stop. Think CRK Impinda but less stout in size.
The Rinkhals is a modern version of a traditional knife and it kicks ass !

Anyone else like to see one of these made with a frame or back lock?
Only if they kept the slipjoint too. I have plenty of frame locks and liner locks. I wanted a small high quality slipjoint for the occasions that I needed one for either local knife laws or just because. The Rinkhals fit the profile perfectly. If it had been a locking knife, I wouldn’t have considered it.
I was thinking that. However then it becomes a small iMamba in essence. I think its charm is that it’s a premium slip joint; and that very much matches the iMamba.
And most importantly it’s not made in you know where …
