> Buck 110
I love the Buck 110 as well. The biggest knock against it is it doesn't come with a thumb tab for one handed opening. However, for around $10 you can get this and you're still under $45 for the knife. I have it on my Buck and after 2 years I've had no problems with it.
I also really like the steel they use for it as it's quick to sharpen but still keeps an edge for a reasonable amount of time for most day to day uses. I have an older Buck 105 with the tougher 440C steel and it takes significantly longer to sharpen it.
Edit: Here's the brass Kwik thumb stud. It's the one I have and it goes well with the brass Buck 110.
The UKPK really does hit all your points. I certainly understand your concern about the aesthetics, though -- I disregarded Spyderco for years for that reason. Get one in your pocket for a couple of days and chances are you'll do a complete 180.
Alternatively, you can make any knife a one hand opener with one of these:

There is a thing called a Kwik Thumbstud or the Kwik Bar on Amazon you attach it to the spine then you can open it one handed.
Maybe give one of these a go? I plan on doing it!
Spyderco Smock. Cold Steel AD15. Buck Marksman. Spyderco Sliverax. For $10 more- Benchmade 940.
I’ve also found that if you add a thumb stud to some knives, you really increase the fidget factor. Kwik Thumb Stud - Stainless https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006OCP46S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_fRBeMuYv9nzna

This is my Proper. I work a lot in New York City so I needed something friendly. I found I like it with an added Kwik thumb stud and a Tec P-7 suspension clip.
I agree, and it's surprisingly usable for all its minimalism. I ordered one of these for one-handed-opening assist, but I don't know it if will ruin the minimalism (hasn't arrived yet).

it absolutley does work very well for one handed opening
I don't know about that. I've never owned either knife. I just figured a thumb stud would help.
Here, they come in satin, black, and brass

The one I had was all black. You just tighten it down with the provided Hex key. Lots of pics in the reviews
