I think that we are trying to make more of an effort to bring forth knives that are ambidextrous. It is important to us that we not leave behind potential buyers. It gets a little confusing to me on if we should set up a knife with 4 clip "stages", when the lock is not designed to be lefty friendly (liner and frame lock), but maybe that is just me. Case in point, the new ZT 0200 is a heavy duty liner lock, which is set up with 4 clip positions. IMO, it was strange to set it up that way, as the lefty clip was not conducive for this lock set up. Maybe the lefty has made adjustments to compensate, but this combination is by no means the perfect set up. I would venture to say that both the lock and the clip need to work in better harmony to bring the most out of the knife. Then again, maybe the lefty is just desperate in looking for knives.
In any case, our vision is certainly not to turn our back on the left hand user, despite that category being a big minority. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Thanks for the response Thomas. Personally, I'm cool with a liner or frame lock being on the right hand side. I do like to have my knife clipped where the hand I'll use it with can reach it though.
