I did the same with a Damascus Leek that I carried in my back pocket. One day while reaching for it I slid my hand in to retrieve my knife I found it had partially opened and I nearly needed stitches. Somehow I must have activated the flipper while sitting down.
Yes, the Leek does have a lock but it is a pain to use.
To prevent future problems I sold the knife and will not buy another "assisted" opener.
