I have a Paramilitary, but I am left handed.. I love the knife, it's one of my favorites actually, but I have to carry it right handed.. What are the chances of it ever being offered in a left handed version? Even if only for a limited run..

I'm sure this would make a lot of people happy...
 
Seems like you could use your thumb pretty easily on the back lock. Just a thought.
 
Go to Yahoo and type "paramilitary refinement need input" and you will have your answer. It will be the first link
 
Chances of a true left hand version, probably slim to none. Chances of one with the current right handed lock, but drilled for LH clip mounting, fairly good to excellent.

That may be all that's needed. I use my Para left-handed sometimes and I have no problem at all with the lock. If the clip were ambi (or a 4-way clip), that may be all a lot of folks would need to make it pretty lefty friendly.

I think the compression lock is one of the easiest locks to use left handed (of the ones designed for right handers of course).
 
4-way clip is going to be on the para 2, i thought it was a thread from 2006 so .. :D
It got bumped on the spyderco forum.
