Evening , I'm a lefty and don't have a problem with the liner locks, I suppose with heavy use were you happen to maybe twist the handle you may disengage it, ??? If it's sharp ya shouldn't need to push or twist it, maybe? I wouldn't go battoning with one for sure. If it's heavy use you can push them in place a little harder to make sure it's in as far as it will go. I've even got quite good at using some knives were ya can't change the clip around. Just takes time and use, you'll get use to it. If ya don't it will be a good excuse to buy another one, never can have to many knives!!! GWP. πŸΎπŸ‘£πŸΎπŸ‘£πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
