I don't think it is.

It's actually commented on quite a bit here - not just Leatherman but many of the tool and knife manufacturers.
I used to come here a lot.

And the angle ground on the pivot of the knife blade is wrong too. The liner lock would never work correctly if the blade were on the other side. :(

it is stupid, they are effectively cutting off 10% of their customer base.  Personally I am ambidextrous, so it doesn't bother me.

Nothing wrong with being left handed, but it does mean I have no real desire to buy a Wave, Charge or Surge.....maybe that's a good thing. :think: :D

Left handed pens  :think:

I'm no expert, by far, but I do remember reading that a number of pens aren't so well-accustomed to writing being pushed across paper, from left to right, as opposed to being pulled; left handed pens have a different kind of nib that reduces the chance of scratching, while simultaneously allowing for smooth ink flow. :)
