Spyderco Forums

As a southpaw I have always made do with right hand configured folders. I want to buy a Left hand Military to see if it suits me. I'm searching for input from other lefties about this great knfe.

It's a good knife, but made for the wrong hand, not the "Right".


Seriously, its a Millie, you can't go wrong, and one of a handful of knives by any maker for lefties.

hi:

i'm starting to carry mine. i like it. i just need to get used to a dedicated lefty knife. i normally carrry right-handed knives on my left side. :D

It's a great knife. If south-paws are smart and not whiny they just realize that it's a right handed world, get use to it and adapt, but when an excellent knife like the LH Millie comes out then a south-paw has no choice but to immediately get one. One handed opening and closing is not an issue with this Spydie. It may feel a bit large at first but it's super to use, even for finer work. It fits my hand very well. Also not that heavy of a knife especially for it's size.

A matched pair would be awesome.

I carry my knives loose in my back pocket, so the LH Military is too bulky for me. However, if that's not an issue for you and you want a large folder that's robust, yet incredibly light, then the LH Military is definitely worth buying.

I have had a lefty Mil since they came out , I better since I bugged Sal for years to make a run . I really can not say any more that has already been said , except once you use a dedicated lefty you will look for more in your collection . I only buy ambi or lefty models no righties for me !

My feelings exactly.

The minute I got mine and opened it and then used the linear lock that was actually designed for a lefty I got why people like it so much. I have really enjoyed mine.

Im not a lefty but I would wear this on my left side for work.


I think Im going to get one now.

Thanks for the positive input! I'm going to buy one!

Nice choice. I'm not a lefty, but my Father, a nephew and my son are all lefties. I appreciate tools designed with lefties in mind.

i am a lefty also and am glad you answered the one question that was bugging me about that knife. since i have the right (wrong) handed version already and love it, i will soon be getting lefty version. LEFTIES OF THE WORLD UNITE!!!!!!

I own several Spydies and as a lefty I'm spoiled with Spyderco because they are so friendly to lefties. I have to say that I give kudos to Sal for giving us our"own" knife. I believe the the Millie is the best knife in an outstanding line of knives. Top notch in every way. You "will" love it.
