A) The photo above is one of my favorites, "The Legacy" from Tashi Bharucha x Bob Terzuola. I'm also a big fan of the GM2 from Giant Mouse, one of a new series of collaborations from Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes.

B) I like both Jesse Jarosz and Brad Larkin, it would be cool to see them do an EDC fixed blade and/or folder...or maybe a set of both. http://jaroszknives.com/ https://www.bradfordknives.com/index.php

I'm still learning but these steel addiction knives have caught my eye. I hope they have reversible clip so us lefties can enjoy. We are not small in numbers anymore. Cost isn't much to make them available to all, please open your minds. Thx.

Welcome to the hobby! FYI, Steel Addiction is a knife dealer (not a brand) but I think you may be referring to the "Rowdy" model designed by Tashi Bharucha and manufactured by McGinnis knives. We don't make those - but we do produce a number of knives that have reversible clips (Ferrum Forge Falcon, Crux, Gent, Buc, Dao) and a number of models that are fully reversed for lefties (Gavko Thresher, Zinker Dogtooth) and plan to release more whenever it's possible, which is sometimes but not always. For more on this, read...well, pretty much any discussion associated with any knife that we have every produced. You're not alone (about 15% US), but many collectors choose to adapt so their choices are not so limited. And some people just prefer right-hand carry (like some right-handed people wear watches on their right hand). Anyways, hope that helps to get you started!

So I guess the true question would be.
What's the right question to put out there to get makers to be more open minded. Any suggestions to an edc under 65 dollars.I got the cold steel Khan and when I changed it over the screw wouldnt lock down , I dont think it was fully threaded right but Finally found screw to tighten down. Sometimes it does say reversible and Its not, very frustrating at times. I bought Benchmades mostly because there knives are reversible, smooth transition also....

"when I changed it over the screw wouldnt lock down , I dont think it was fully threaded right"
happens to me too. Kershaw's notorious for it.
As far as getting left handed stuff, the devil's advocate line goes like this: 'look, when you can have two configurations for something, and about 90% of your consumers want the one and about 10% of your consumers want the other, what you're really saying is you have two items and only one of them is going to move faster. The other will move about 10 times as slow, which is to say it will move 10 times as slow as some other item those 90% of the customers might want instead. The realities of business mean that you're much better off selling that other item instead, whatever it is." Which is what inevitably happens, which is why lefties struggle to find left handed items in any proportion to their frequency in the population of people who buy things.
If you figure out an answer, sheesh. Come tell me!
In the meantime, you're probably a couple hundred times better off just buying the right handed knife that you really want but you can't find in left hand, and paying a knifesmith to convert it, than you are buying the best left handed knife you can find, unless you got really lucky with finding a lefty that's a great fit for you. That's probably going to get you further than trying to change the market on this one. The math is stark for left handers but it's not just them, it's also true for people who are in some way atypical for their consumer base in a consumer driven society. People who are very tall or short are good examples when it comes to things like shopping for clothes - outside a certain range of sizes, the people who require that size are literally more common than the shirts one can find in a store that will readily fit them. They have to special order clothing or drive hours for specialty stores, and be happy those stores exist.
If I wanted to get knifemakers to make more knives lefties would use, I'd try to find examples of clips that are easy to reverse, get them using them, and THEN say 'now that you're using these clips how about taking the extra thirty seconds for us and making your design reversible'. And I'd grab a Snickers bar, because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.

This Steel Addiction knife is beautiful looking yet different at the same time from the latest flippers. I like it. AF

Gille of Fontenille Pataud and Gareth Bull—front flipping Laguiole
Onion and Voxnes—curves meet squares

Moletta and Voxnaes. Something with a fat choil and the H.WAYL clip that looks like an Egyptian scarab.
Osborne and Isham. Something that looks like a Sardaukar slip tip drawn with the off hand.
Wes Crawford and Greg Thompson. A close quarters knife with a retaining ring on the pommel and a chisel edge blade with the stance of the Kasper.
Sal Glesser and Andre De Villiers, a compression locking karambit with a fat fuller in the leaf ground blade. Glesser gets to pick the steel, De Villiers has veto power on design.
There's four to go with :)

I like CRKT too. Wish they made more stuff stateside but I still buy their knives. And I think that's why I was so upset about the Pilar -- I don't think I've ever got a knife from CRKT that I felt had so many things wrong with it. Part of it was I trusted the brand enough to order the knife at the same time I ordered the One Asterisk aftermarket parts for it; if I'd gotten the knife first I would just moved onto another project instead.

Looking for the right "car knife"
I'm looking for a knife for the car console that is US made, has a glass breaker, and is in the 3in blade length range. I'd prefer a flipper over a thumb stud, and either a button or axis lock over a frame lock, but would settle for a flipper with a frame lock.
Any ideas?

EDC without weapons?
Is there a way to get EDC updates but not get all the knives. I live in a city in a first world country in 2019 and I just don't need the level weaponry that's being advertised here. Bottle opener? 600 wallets? Pointless fountain pens? Rulers? Keychains like it's the 90's? Sure. Hook. Me Up! I'm just not living the life where I need 10 different ways to shank someone.

Why are there so few wood options for knife handles?
I love the classic look of wood grain on a knife handle but I never see them on here.

Show Us Your Man-Purse!
Or maybe your Bug-Out-Bag, or Gear Bag, or maybe even a Photo Bag--or whatever you got. Here's a few of mine to get things rolling...
This Voodoo Tactical is my primary gear bag for travel. Holds a ton of stuff, easy to organize and access and was dirt cheap. I'm on my second one.

This Maxpedition bag is built like a tank but isn't as easy to get into as the Voodoo bag. It also has a big waist strap that can be hidden when carrying over the shoulder, but it adds bulk. As you ca see from the tag, I haven't found a good use for it yet...

This ThinkTank bag is my favorite camera bag (and I've got a few). It will easily hold three good size lenses, a full-frame body and a 15" laptop--with room to spare for accessories!

Sand. Drifter.
I make it a point to always bring a knife and multitool even when I go abroad, I always want to be sure that I'm ready for whatever life throws my way. However, not all counties look kindly to travelers with blades and I've heard many horror stories of knives getting confiscated abroad. When travelling, I take my CRKT Drifter, a small cagey little knife with nestled stainless liners and a coated blade measuring less than 3 inches. Its robust design makes it light to carry and easy to clean even after a day in Mui Ne's beautiful sand dunes 😎 (Nha Trang, Vietnam)
