I'm interested in the Spyderco Lil Temperance based on some very cogent discussion about the utility of this knife for self defense and everyday use. My problem is that I am a southpaw. My right hand is pretty worthless when it comes to drawing and using a knife. So, with the clip limited to right handers, what are my choices? Remove the clip and carry it in my left pocket? work on my right hand (doubtful). Pick a good Benchmade (mini grip would work)? Others? What do you think? I really like the Lil Temperance. I'm just mad at Spyderco for not considering lefties (we are 10 to 20 percent of their market depending on who's numbers you believe). Opinions? Thanks.

I recently picked-up a Carbon Fiber Police model in lefty configuration that I really like. Spyderco's new Chinook 2 will also have lefty carry options. Most of their FRN models have reversible clips for lefty carry. I think for the most part Spyderco does remember the right brained people;)
 
i'm left handed,too, & look for duel thumb studs or flipper.heres some knives i found are great for lefties : benchmade 805 axis, bm 551, crkt falcon, m16, m18,spyderco military,to name a few. if you look at the opposite side of the lil temperence, there may not be the greatest clearance for left handed opening .
