Is One Hand Bandit Ambidextrous?

Bruise Lee · Nov 7, 2002

Does the One Hand Bandit (I think that's what it's called) that is sold at eknifeworks.com allow you to open a blade with either hand? Anyone have any experience with these devices, good or bad?

The One-Armed Bandit is only textured on one side. You could open the knife from the other side, but it would be a bit slippery.

Will it leave scratches on the blade?

but remember you can put it on for right and lefthand

There is a teflon end on the screw to prevent scratches.

I have one on a Pakistani made stiletto

Like the other forumite(s) said, it IS reversible.
Nice item ; kinda dated though, what with all the knives being made these days with either thumbstuds or holes
but will be useful for some time to come

Thanks but no thanks.

Think I'll take a pass on that one and stick to my nunchakus.
