It is a Kansept Model 6 Left-Handed with liner lock.

For years I have dealt with a right-handed, or “ambidextrous” pocket knife. Like many of you, struggled with and eventually got used to things made for righties, but marketed as “works in either hand” but really is garbage.

The blade shape is not my first choice, and I would rather a thumb knob. But I have always liked liner locks, and anything that met all of my check boxes was over $500. This was $170 from knife center.

It just arrived, so I have not used it much yet.

    Congrats from a fellow lefty. I have my fair share of LH knives, but you’re right that most of them are going to run you a fair chunk of change (shout out CRK). Kansept’s Fenrir should have a LH model for their bolster lock, it’s a cool option. And I really want to get ahold of that Liong Mah eutektik. Maybe I just really like front flippers…

      I am waiting for the kansept Fenrir Left to come back in stock.

      I have a Warrior 3 Left on the way, as well as some Liong Mahs.

    Was that you looking for one a week or 2 ago? Fellow lefty here but I just look for a ambi clip and didn’t have any input for you. Cheers on the knew carry.

    I’m a Leatherman guy now and have to make all sorts of compromises can’t even get a blade on the proper side!

      That was me.

      I carry a leatherman too, but I only use it in emergencies because of the handiness.
