Left handed knives for righties?

[matgarsmi]

I typically have a folder clipped to my right front pocket, but I've been toying with the idea of buying some left handed knives to clip to my left front pocket as well.

I know many on here carry more than one knife. For those who do, what are your thoughts? Suggestions? Recommendations? Am I crazy for thinking this?

I love the military and sebenza, and both come in left handed versions, so why not?

I would stick with an ambidextrous knife if you're going to carry it on your weak side since you'll probably end up using it with your right hand anyway. I'm left handed and the only knife I ever carry in my right pocket is a fully serrated Pacific Salt when I'm running around in the woods. The old reason it's in my right pocket is that there's something with a plain edge in the left one. The first thing that happens after I pull it out is switching it to my left hand. In a pinch I can use it right handed. The Military may be an okay choice for this since it can be opened and closed with either hand but unless you find a lefty Sebenza with dual thumb studs I would recommend against using one for weak side carry. Why limit your options?

Not crazy at all but a lot of knives are either fully or nearly ambi. Spyderco Delica and Endura knives are ambi, have clips that are 4-position flexible, perform well, don't weigh much and are cheap enough not to worry about damage/loss for EDC purposes. :thumbup:
