Leek, right side carry only?

[Bellasdaddy]

Forgive me if this topic was covered already. I love my black Leek but I am a lefty. Is there a specific or mechanical reason why there are no holes drilled for left side clip carry?

I know quite a few lefty knife people and they have all either drilled + tapped theirs or just dealt with it. Problem is, time per knife would skyrocket due to volume output of leeks (I'm guessing) and it's just not cost effective, statistically speaking, for how many lefties there are.

However, most of Kershaws / ZTs new models are all at least 3-way drilled + tapped so they're all pretty lefty friendly

Thanks. I usually remove the clips on my knives but noticed that the Leek was comfortable (for me) with the clip which had me thinking about left side carry.

Do new Leeks have holes for left carry?

No they don't. I might just go out and buy a tap set so I can carry some of my knives lefty as well. I just need more time in my life

Tap set? I would love to know more...I have a few knives I would like to convert to lefty friendly.

I have both. The JYD2 gets the most use now that it is tip up with a ZT clip.

#50 bit and a 2/56 tap

That's where I found the info

When I carry one of my Leeks (I'm obnoxiously left-handed), I find right-hand/tip-down in my left, front pocket works fine.

I did notice that the Leek's clip is shaped so that it could only be used on the right side.
