I’ve been a dedicated lefty Crk man for some time now but seeing these Hinderer’s lately has had me straying a bit. I emailed RHK, knowing what the response would be beforehand, asking if they had plans of lefty’s in the future. Of course the answer was no. Congratulations on those. Nice pair for sure

Thank you , I'm pretty happy with my current set up but as we know the checklist keeps growing even though I just got this one haha.

I burned my thumb and was using my left hand while driving to flip the action.... I was able to operate it surprisingly well with only my left hand.

only problem is the show side is opposite and the traction of the Micarta and G10 is pretty grippy compared to the titanium.. you lose that grip on the left hand. it's still pretty useable if you really want one I guess is what I'm trying to say, but at a sacrifice.

Yea I’ve got some Zt flipper framelocks and I just swapped the clip to lefty. I can maneuver it, not as easily as a lefty frame lock, but it’s not bad. At some level it may just be pride in just wanting to stick with the knife company that will consider us lefty’s and make us a dedicated knife as well. Stubborn you mite say ;)

Nice! What model Reate is that one? I have my first one in route, Hills model, that im really looking forward to. I saw one with a fantastic ano job and would like to do something similar since I own plenty of gray framelocks.

I also have the bull pup in route after you talked me into it.:p

It’s the original Torrent with M390. It’s definitely one of my favorite Reate designs. The J.A.C.K reminds me of its big brother in an integral handle. The newer Torrent models have RWL-34.

I’ve read great things about the Hills, you’ll have let me know how you like it when you get it.

Lol, did you get the Bullpup from Boker directly? Hope you like it brother!

Ill definitely be posting pics and my thought on the hills once i get it in hand. I was lucky enough to score a good price on it LNIB to enable me to try out a Reate and looks like its actually out for delivery now :D.
After seeing your pics of the bullpup i was intrigued thinking it was a much more expensive folder. Watched a review and while its a Boker plus i learned this one is made in Taiwan rather than China, as you know, so im expecting improved quality from Boker within reason and the materials are surprisingly nice for the price point. Your thoughts as well as the reviewers support that as well so i looked on a big auction site and made an offer on one i found NIB for less than the original pricing so its on the way!

This morning i carried the manix 2 LW to my 4 year old sons first Tball game which was a great experience and we are looking forward to the season.

Looking forward to your Hills review!
