CF Civie LH SE wanted

mapleleaf · #1

First, thanks to all those who've answered my SS post.

On the basis of those many thoughtful answers and my own changing thoughts, am going after one of the following three:

What I want most is a new carbon fibre Civilian C12 in a LH or left hand version with a serrated edge if one exists. Does it? Where?

Second , I'd settle for a new military C36 LH with combi edge.

Third, a carbon fibre Police C07 LH combi edge will do if that's all I can find.

Now, where can I get one (or all three) for a decent price? Any leads appreciated.

Mapleleaf,

John Jensen still has the CF Civilian in both PE and SE on his web site: <a href="http://www.johnfjensen.com">Get yer discontinued Spydies here!</a>

They're all "righties" and don't know how to go about converting them to "southpaw", but this is a good site to bookmark for all kinds of discontinued Spydies!

Mapleleaf,

I don't think the CF Police is available in Combi. It's PE SE RH LH and my brand new one is beautiful. I don't know of a LH Civie but I think Mike at New Graham has the CF in SE or PE. That one is awesome too. Far as I know LH Combi's are not common. I don't know much about the Millie. Somebody here does though. OBTW, welcome to the Forum.

Thanks Guys, This is getting worse and worse .... I'm now lusting after four Spydies - Gunting, Civilian, Police and Military - and Lefty models seem almost non-existant. Saw a post in which Sal stated that Lefty models may not even be the answer for left-handed people . . .with the idea of building up their weaker side by using a right-handed knife. Sounds good but then shouldn't all the right-handed people be using Lefty knives. Hmmm! I'm really confused. Any ideas? Suggestions? Are any of you Lefties using right-handed knives?

I've been carrying my primary "serious" folder on my left (weak-hand) side for years. My utility blade rests on my strong-side. Just seems to balance-out that way.

I carry a right-handed knife tip-up in the left front pocket, and open it with my ring finger for a reverse, edge-forward grip. This works for me, for utility and defense. At work, I carry a Rescue 93mm in the left hip pocket and a Civie in the left front pocket. The Gunting is best carried in a sheath, and Skunkworks makes sheaths for both left and right side carry. I carry my Gunting on the right side. FWIW, I am somewhat ambidextrous, with my left hand being more skillful and my right arm being stronger.

I'm a lefty, too, and it DOES really suck trying to find lefty-friendly knives. You can buy a Police or Civi model, and have the clip moved over to the other side, or you can buy a FRN Endura (it's ALMOST a Police model) and move it yourself. There is also the Massad Ayoob which does have a moveable pocket-clip.
