What are your thoughts about the button placement on the Smock as a Lefty . Do s the button interfere with your grip ? Regards MG2

I"m a righty but when I hold it in my left hand the button is between my thumb and forefinger. No issues.

Thank you Danke for taking the time to respond to my question , greatly appreciated. Regards MG2

I'm a lefty and the button doesn't bother me when being gripped. When in hand the button lightly touches the base of my pointer finger. But it doesn't bother me nor do I think I would ever disengage the lock.

Thank you Spyderline , I’m really on the fence buying this knife .

Outspoken southpaw here. I have 3 Smocks (4 if I did not sell the OG S30V) and I would not have this many Smocks if it weren't lefty-friendly. It's one of the most ambidextrous Spydie designs ever. No matter how much I grip the knife I have never ever managed to accidentally operate the button lock.

Thanks nerdlock for your info. You just sealed my desire to purchase this knife . I feel a lot more comfortable hearing everyone’s comments on this subject . Regards MG2

Not a lefty, but it’s one of my favorite Spydies. I just dug mine out and can open and close it with either hand no problem.
