Why all the lefty hate?

[firebert]

The Hawk Lock (RAM, MUDD, 0650ST) is, in my opinion, better suited for lefties than righties. All have left-hand, tip-up clip positions, too.

The stud lock is completely ambidextrous, and most liner and frame locks are doable for lefties.

Clip position is an important consideration. It could be dangerous to put a tip-up knife in the wrong pocket (accidental opening and slicing). If your son is a tip-up guy, he needs to make sure to get a model with a left hand clip position.

Tip-down may be a bit more awkward for him, but it's safer for lefties than righties. The blade is up against the left pocket seam, which prevents accidental opening.

I am left handed. It does not matter what side the clip is on.

I carry tip up, blade forward without ever having any problems. You just get used to it, I guess.

I am left handed. Carry knives in both pockets.





But seriously, can't wait for the OD-1 Lefty love.
