It is a Kansept Model 6 Left-Handed with liner lock.

For years I have dealt with a right-handed, or “ambidextrous” pocket knife. Like many of you, struggled with and eventually got used to things made for righties, but marketed as “works in either hand” but really is garbage.

The blade shape is not my first choice, and I would rather a thumb knob. But I have always liked liner locks, and anything that met all of my check boxes was over $500. This was $170 from knife center.

It just arrived, so I have not used it much yet.

    For a single bevel edge, the bevel should be on the handed side so it presents an unbeveled side to the thing being sliced and the bevel pushes the slices away.

    Almost all single bevel knives are beveled on the right side.

      You can see this on my left-handed bread knife (black handle) vs the family’s bread knife (white handle).
