Got excited about ”left handed” till I saw it is just the clip. 😐

gustafariWhat do you mean? It's like the current lock systems have been designed for left handers in the first place, since as a left hander you don't have to put your finger in the blades path to close. We are the winners here.

JonasOLeft hand carry is good. Most blades have this option. Left hand version (lock bar on opposite side) is great. Left hand version Kizer Gemini is great.

gustafariI don’t think an opposite side lock bar would improve the function for me, quite the opposite. If you like it, all the more power to you though.

JonasOFair comment. I still purchased a ff falcon. But, I do prefer the operation of a left handed sebenza over a right handed sebenza. We like what we like!

JonasOI've always thought this as well. I never understood how having the lockbar on the right side (with the blade facing down) is considered "right-handed". It's much easier to pull the lockbar in that configuration with your left thumb, and your fingers don't tend to be over the blade during one-handed closing. However, the industry as a whole seems to consider a left-handed lockbar knife to be one with the lockbar on the left side. So, calling this a "left-handed" knife is a bit of a misnomer. They simply move the pocket clip to the show side on a knife that doesn't support a reversible clip (and charge you $5). Hooray for marketing.

YabosMcGeeSo I apologize if this is already covered but I am looking for a father/son gift, one right handed, one left. Is the left handed version of this the same knife but with the pocket clip shifted to fit in a left pocket?

FlintGrimlockYes. The only physical difference between a "lefty" and a righty on this knife is the location of the pocket clip.
Huge disappointment for me. I was very close to pulling the trigger and picking one up too.

gustafarithere should be a rule to NOT allow a company to call it a left handed version just because the clip is on the other side - that's just poor design as they should just design the clip to be able to installed on both sides. shameful.
