ZT0300,any Lefty feedback?

[boef800]

I'm very tempted to try this one out,but being a lefty....
So,any lefties out there using it?Would you recomend it even to an lefty?
Will Kershaw ever consider a lefty production run?

Greetz,Alex

P.S.:Righties please chime in too naturally))

well the flipper would be great for opening thats for sure. the lock however might be a bit more tricky. it wouldn't be that bad imo, but i dunno, im a righty

It is very lefty friendly. You use the flipper to open the assisted blade and not the thumb studs. I have had no problems using it and it fits my hand very well.

You can close it one-handed lefty , also.

I am left-handed.:thumbup:

offsetlover+Daniel,
thanks for your advise so far :thumbup:

Daniel,
How it's using the knife left handed?
Closing you say isn't a problem... ohoh,I want the knife more and more))
I think opening should be anyway the same for both,left and right,no?Ambidextrous thumbstuds+flipper...

 

[Daniel]

I don't use the thumb studs. I feel that they are actually designed as blade stops rather than opening devices.

I have cut myself using thumb studs on assisted knives because my thumb follows through like on a normal thumb opening knife and then hits the blade.

Using it is no problem. The clip (although on the wrong side) doesn't present any problems.

It is a bid strong and heavy knife--if that is what you will like, then you should be very happy with it as a lefty!

The clip should be a non-issue, there are four sets of holes threaded for the clip; left or right-handed, tip-up or tip-down.

Yes, it does, but I seldom move the clip. For me, it seems to feel better mounted on the right-hander side.
