They come like that but you can change the clip to the four corners, tip up, down, etc. they're tapped for your preference.

They come that way from the factory-
right handed because that is what most people probably need.
tip down because that is most efficient.

People have different carry needs and switch the clips to left-hand and/or tip up as they desire.

But please if you buy the knife and don't know if you will keep it or not, it is better to not mess with the clip. I saw a PM2 sprint for sale on the exchange recently- the seller said he had never carried the knife but had switched the clip. Switching the clip probably cost him $50 on the sale of that knife. I refuse to buy a knife that has had the clip switched because I read about such a high percent of people that strip out screws doing this. If it's your knife and you intend to keep it and use it, switch the clip as you wish. You can buy reasonable tools for manipulating the screws at large stores such as HomeDepot and Lowes and they seem to work well enough for the PM2. Some people have had problems with the thread locking compound on the foreign Spydercos and you might need higher quality tools for them.

Any decent quality Torx drivers will work fine.

It comes that way to pay homage to the original PM1 that like the militarys can only be tip down right carry.

Tip up or down is personal preference.

It's been argued that tip down is safer. But that seem to be the case for dudes that carry there knives in weird positions on the pocket.

Tip down is my favorite. It puts your hand on the knife ready to use and when placed at the rear of the pocket there is no chance of it opening

That's ridiculous, just for switching the clip?

Too each there own
