Lochsa Ambidextrous? Thumb Stud On Right Side (as well as on the left side)?

Just a guess, but the way the Buck ambidextrous thumbstuds, I have had apart, attach, is one side has a splined post, and the other side has the female receptacle for the splined post. the post goes through a smooth bore hole in the blade, and snugs up into the female receptacle on the other stud
That stud looks like all the others I have, and I would suspect it is the same.

Plus there are screws for a lefty clip location, so it makes sense for a lefty stud to be there too.

Once again, just a guess.

Logical, insightful and bold speculation. Thank you.

Of the four special edition 110s it alone is a concept knife. A production version, mass production, should tend to lower the cost a bit. It has a lot to like in a locking folder.
 
Guys,

DesertChris has it right.
The Lochsa model is ambidextrous. You didn't think we would neglect the lefties did you :)
 
Thank you kindly heng em. Good news for the left-handed. I would love to see a photo of the, heretofore unseen, other side of the Lochsa BTW. (this thread's original question, thumb stud on both sides, came up during a discussion of clip point production knives over on British Blades where the Lochsa was liked)

WTG desert Chris. Chalk one up. Score!

No, the Lochsa is not ambidextrous, but Scott Cook does make a left handed version:

Wait..... that's not what you're talking about is it? Haha just kidding. Cook's Lochsa was the only one I knew about and this is the first time I am seeing the Buck Lochsa. I am certain it has either a double thumb stud or is at least reversable. If not, that would be a big oversight considering that it's tapped for a lefty clip.

It is a pretty good looking Buck, I might have to pick one up.
 
Link to a map of Buck Knives, Inc. in Post Falls, Idaho showing the street name of the factory's address is Lochsa (this concept Buck knife is named after the street address): https://www.google.com/maps/place/B...2!3m1!1s0x5361dcdf118e8a89:0x30dbf38ae3a3dd74

Buck Knives is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the model 110 with four LE versions of its famous Hunter (110) model and each different knife is named after the street name of a former or current address. Break out the champagne and let the good times roll its party time.
