I was looking at pics of the Endura 4 that someone had posted, and I realized that I am very very glad to be a right-handed person, because most knives are designed to cater to us (at the expense of convenience for left-handed people).
What I can say because I am lucky enough to be in the group that most manufacturers cater to is that I dislike designs that offer various pocket clip positions. I think that the holes in three "spare" positions (on knives such as the Endura 4) degrade the aesthetics. They draw the eye to something that is supposed to be incidental. To me, they end up looking gapingly apparent.
Please, please, understand that I know the knives are just as good. There is admittedly nothing wrong with the knives! In fact, they are more versatile. No argument there. All I'm saying is that to look at them, I don't care for their appearance. It's similar to looking at a car that has spaces in the front end for fog lights, but someone opted not to spring for them, so there are just depressions where there could be fog lights, but they're absent. It cheapens the appearance a bit, for me.
Am I alone in feeling this way? I think I should just count my blessings that I fall into the category of consumer who doesn't have to worry that if the knife doesn't have four sets of screw holes for the pocket clip, he's usually S.O.L. for a left-hand-friendly knife of that design...
