Can the knife be turned around in the sheath for left hand carry? thanks!

The knife can be either right or left hand and the sheath can be worn on either side of the body.

Yes, the metal clip on the sheath is reversible, allowing the knife to be carried tip up, or tip down. Another helpful hint, the knife does quite a bit of rattling while it's sheathed. Get a cotton ball and pinch a small amount off and wedge it to the bottom of the sheath. Problem solved. Overall, it's one of the best knives I've ever purchased, and I purchase quite a few knives. It's an excellent, and tough blade.

Nilo52, I am right handed but I believe it should be able to be retro-fitted for a lefty. The knife is the same on either hand, the sheath is standard and should suffice for either side as well.

Yes, absolutely! I am left-handed and I love this knife. Used it to cut angel food cake tonight - sawed nicely through it

The blade edge is beveled on both sides and the handle shape is identical on both sides as well. It should work well for a left-hander.

can not move clip to other side, but i carry mine in my left pocket and use it with my left or right hand.... good luck, it really is a nice piece!!!

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

I believe that the sheath is adjustable for both horizontal and vertical carry. I am working now and will try to remember to look when I get home but I think it is possible

Absolutely. You can also alternate the direction of the clip for left pocket carry however it's not designed for left hand operation. At least left hand opening or closing.

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

It is a good knife but I would not trust the knife to stay in the sheath if I attached it upside down on a packs shoulder strap.

you could fasten horizontally but you'd have a problem with the straps on the sheath. Making it difficult to sheath knife one-handed. look for something with more traditional sheath. Current sheath would take two hands and some luck to get knife in sheath. sorry

yes you can pen it left handed fairly easy. I just tested it out for ya. The knife is easy to open anyway, smooth as butter. You will have to get adjusted to penning it from the top by the guard. But it's easy for me and I'm right handed

I didn't care whether it was lefty or righty. However the photo below the knife is not positioned properly, either that or they do have a lefty version. According to the the photo it IS a lefty. I am left-handed as well, but I can actually use either hand so it doesn't matter to me. My knife is set up for a right handed person. I suggest you call somebody that can answer your question better than me. Good Luck!

This is a right handed IWB. I don't see anyway to switch the hardware to make it a left side. Hope this helps

This knife is sheathed for right hand carry, as most knives are. I'm a lefty so I'm particularly aware of this. Great knife, though.

Yes, Rev, there is a thumbstud on both sides of the blade and the pocket clip can be mounted on either side of the handle to accomodate left or right hand. I bought an extra for a friend who is a lefty and one they moved the clip to the right side of the handle they were good to go. The clip removes and installs easily with 2 torx screws.
