Can the clip on the titanium version of the Salsa be switched over for lefties like the aluminium version can?

The pictures I have seen dont show the cut outs for the clip on the other handle scale?

Also the lock on the titanium version looks like a frame lock rather than a top liner lock (compresion lock?)

Thanks in advance.
 
bagman,
Sorry no way to change the clip on the Ti. Also it is a different lock than the Aluminum. I believe it's called an integral lock. But it is a portion of the frame that moves over to lock the blade. I like it's simplicity. Overall a very nice knife. It's my work EDC.

As my forespeaker stated, the Ti Salsa is for right handed only. The clip is not switchable.
As about the lock, it is a compression lock indeed. It may resemble the frame lock but at the framelock, the force against the blade tends to bend the lock, while at a compression lock, it "squeezes" the lock between the blade and the stop pin. They call it "integral" because it's cut out of the liner. The Al Salsa has a classic (nested) compression lock.
