What’s not right for left handers?
on: March 27, 2019, 11:26:45 PM
A couple of us lefties think we need to share our experiences of living in a right-hand dominant world...from a SAK and MT perspective.

It’s sometimes interesting to see things from the “other hand”  :)

To get the ball rolling, here are a few left field considerations, just looking at my Pioneer X:

When using the blade the scale logo faces away from me. Nail nicks favor holding the SAK in the right hand and using the left thumb nail. Tin opener requires awkward hand arrangement to go anti-clockwise if held in the left hand. With scissors, I have to look over the top to see the exact cut line.

So now I just need to commission Victorinox to manufacture 10k mirrored Pioneers. Or will these end up being left overs?  :pok:

Funny.  :think:
Since Victorinox put the nail nick on the PX scissors on the opposite side from the way it is on the celidor models, I thought it might be better for left handed people to open.  ;)
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

True! We have a win there  :hatsoff:

(Edit: I knew there was something I left out.)

But the scissors still cross over the wrong way  :pok:

Give the Spirit scissors a try.  :whistle:
As a right handed person I find Vic's approch to OHO to be backwards.  The OHO blade is always on the far side of the handle from my right thumb unlike all my other OHO's where it is right next to my thumb.  the liner locks also seem to be left hand oriented.  Does it work any better for a lefty?

Thanks for the thread.....   :drink:


On leatherman MTs the oho does not apply.   I think the free series might  address it to some degree,  we'll see.

Serrated edges are backwards for us.   


I'll add to more when i get a chance.

111 OHO are better for lefties. Easy one-hand close with the left hand but not the right.
130 OHO (Wenger/Vic Delemont New Rangers) are right-handed.

Wouldn't it be a simple matter to take the LM apart and rearrange the tools to be leftie-friendly?

Yup. And I tried to swap around the blades on my Wave but the machining for the lock is then wrong.  :(

Here are some.
111 OH Close (lefthanded)


130 has a button to release, and it's on the right side.

Yes. The only 111mm I have is also Left friendly.  :iagree:

Not sure if all 111mm liner locks are like this?  :dunno:

Liner lock engages from the right, so very natural to close with left hand (gives right handers an idea of what it’s like for us to use ‘normal’ liner locks)  :tu:

nice pics andy.... To be honest I do not own any victorinox lock blades. The other makers out there I own are kind of annoying ....but over time I have gotten used to them, some are  harder to close than others.
