For almost 20 years I have had to adapt to a right handed world and carrying a knife was no exception. I have become accustom to carrying a knife in my right pocket but always had to switch to my left for any percision work. I am lucky to be fairly ambidextrous but for whatever reason manipulating a knife with my left hand has always felt awkward. I just figured that this was the way it was always going to be and I would just have to live with it.
I picked up a ZT0300 a short while ago after reading all the great feed back and quickly understood why everyone loved this knife. I put it in my right pocket as normal in a tip up position as I felt it was easier to draw and open the knife like this. I had a slight problem opening the knife because my index finger always seemed to be positioned too far back to activate the flipper when drawn from my pocket. I decided the other day to switch the clip for left hand tip-up carry, thinking it would be like all other knives I have tried this way I put it in my pocket expecting the usual disappointment. When I reached for the knife something strange happened, everything felt perfect, the abilty to grip the knife properly, draw and open without feeling clumsy and the smoothness in witch I was able to do all of this. I have never felt this feeling with any other knife in my left pocket, it was like finding my holy grail of knives and it only took 20 years.
Thankyou kershaw for making this product, words cannot describe how happy I am or the feeling that has over come me knowing I will finally be able to carry a knife in my left pocket comfortably.
