    Left hand Knives

    I been looking for a new carry knife I though I decided on an Emerson Mini commander but it appears as though the pocket clip can not be reversed for left side carry.
    I would like to know if there are any solutions or what some other lefties are carring

    I am right hand dominant, and carry my knives lefty. I do this because I carry my firearm on my right side. Should I need to fight for retention I want access to the knife. For my purposed, I carry Spyderco, Benchmade, and various fixed blade knives. When not able to carry a firearm I carry one knife in each pocket.

    Food for thought.

    I've been carrying a SOG Spec Elite I for years now and it's one of my favorite knives. Compleatly ambidextrous and super easy one handed open/close. I highly recommend it. Especially at the price point.

    I'm left handed and so the same as The Count only reversed. Handgun on left, knife on the right. I carry a Kershaw and have never had a problem opening it.

    If I carry a knife with a right hand clip the knife has to be flipped or will open into my hand. From a left pocket, I carry it for general use so putting it in my L pocket is ideal for me

    If you send it to Emerson, they will tap the left side for you.

    I'm left handed and what I do is use a right handed clip and carry it in my back left pocket to the left of my wallet.

    I used to get only knives that had lefty clips, but now that I got used to this way, I don't have any and I wouldn't go back.

    I'm a south paw and I carry a Spyderco Delica. It has 4 differnt mounting positons for the pocket clip so you can orient it anyway you choose.
