Fully Ambi Sub 3' folder with AO

[bubblewhip]

Title says it all, got a left hander who needs an assisted opening sub 3 inch knife. Liner locks are a no no (includes frame locks) Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, the A/O system works best with the liner or fram lock. Would a manual knife that opens just as fast as an assisted opener work? Like a Kershaw RAM or Benchmade Mini Griptilian...

Benchmade has some assisted opening axis lock knives.

You have a very narrow market here. I can't think of a single knife that fits all of those requirements. Although there are several that meet most of them. Is there anything in there that can be compromised? (i.e. slightly larger than 3", and/or non AO)



Edit: Belay my last... Harkamus nailed it. It looks like that mini-barrage is the exact knife you're looking for.

Cool thanks.

I was gonna say Mini-Barrage as well...

SOG makes an AO lockback, which is inherently ambidextrous.

The Kershaw, oso sweet is a good one. Very easy to open with either hand. Flipper design (with liner lock though) (strong) imo. only 20$,..... Benchmade 585 is more heavy duty. Thumbstuds, axis lock(stronger) 85$.

You can try to hunt down a Kershaw Whisper. Good luck.

You might like a Kershaw Mini Mojo/Mojito with the Stud Lock and A/O.

Good suggestion! Forgot about those little guys. I think Kershawguy might even have some.
