Hello,
In the past year, I've lost two knives important to me.
First, my Sypderco Wayne Goddard disappeared from my shop. I loved that thing; had it since 1994 or so. I have no idea what happened. Nobody stole it; I'm the only who goes in there. I was opening packages and the best I can figure is it somehow made its way into the trash.
I've bought a couple knives trying to replace it; Kershaw assisted openings. I've grown to like the assisted opening design, but these knives feel rather... fragile. One is Chinese and the other is USA.
I'm a lefty.
What are some good automatic folding knife recommendations for a left-handed feller like myself? If I'm going to spend the money, I require it to be made in the USA, or Japan, or Finland, or anyplace but China, Taiwan, etc.
The second knife was my Leatherman. I received one as a gift around 1998, and I carried it daily. It eventually got unserviceable so I sent it in. They replaced it with one of their new ones, which frankly didn't impress me. There were friggin' parting lines, man. Huh uh.
I left the thing on the truck's roof and drove off. Dangit.
I want a replacement for it, as well -- but not Leatherman. Turns out they are somewhat anti-gun. Additionally, the quality, as I explained above, is not what it was.
I'd like the replacement to be USA-made.
Any recommendations?
Thank you.
Regards,
Josh
