It opens easily with the left hand and with little practice closes as well

A question for Mr. Russell - Will you ever make this knife for us southpaws?

make it to MY attention
Thank you for support.
The problem is that I live in Europe, so I wanted to make sure that there actually IS a problem at all before sending it to you. It would be silly to pay double international postage (and perhaps import tax again!), and bother you only to find that it's a perfectly normal copy and the problem lies only in what I'm used to. I'd like to stress, that it's not that opening is particularly problematic, it just requires more force then for some other knives and sometimes my finger slips. I expected a perfect knife, which of course cannot be true![]()
Would Mr. Russell consider making a smaller Acies in a more stain-resistant steel say CPM-154, Elmax or M390?
I really liked the overall design of the Acies but the limited supply and relative lack of stain resistance in ZDP-189 made me hold back and take a wait-and-see approach.
We may make a run of the smaller Acies in other steels..
