Hello,

I would really appreciate it if anyone had comments on the ease of using the SR1 or SR2 left handed. I recall from a previous thread (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/841797-Left-Handed-SR-1) that LionSteel isn't planning on making a left-handed version. Is the regular version something that people can use left-handed? As such a person, I've found that a frame lock can be particularly hard to use, because the left hand puts pressure on the lockbar during opening and closing. Are the SR1 and SR2 any different?

Thanks,
Davide
 
On my SR1 I find the lock bar tension to by higher than any ZT, Spyderco, Benchmade or custom etc I've put hands on, it's stiff. I'm left handed and can close the knife left handed but it has taken some time to get my hand placement just so to make it possible. I typically just transition to my right hand to close since I carry right side anyway though. For deployment/opening and general use is poses no hurdles that I've found. It's an outstanding knife.
