The answer is yes, but it isn’t pretty, as well as, requires re grip and a leg, table ground , on my chest to conduct the re grip…

Weak hand shooting is every trip to the range, and dry fire before.
Same thing for one-handed immediate action, reload…. Though that is strong hand only.. If forced to do it weak hand, I have done it enough to know I can, and it will never be fast or pretty.

I can reach at least two blades with each hand. If a bad guy pins only one arm, he's in for a surprise when I demonstrate my knowledge of gross anatomy.

Glad you brought this up. Just tried it and can do if I reach around my back. Definitely something to keep in mind.

...and there is nothing much more gross than a bucketload of small intestines hanging out of someone's gut. Maybe I need to carry a second knife...would not add that much to my EDC weight, and I have several good knives...hmmm.

Hickok45 demonstrates how to do that in one of his videos. He simply takes his thumb over the top and does it. Granted, he has large hands at 6'8", but it looks doable.
