I must stand corrected.
I have flipped clips before, and incorrectly assumed I could on my Kershaw (although no need to do so). As I read your reply, I pulled my Leek out of my pocket and discovered my error.

(The clip on my Leek can be flipped, but the the holes provided on the other side are at the opposite end. However, I can draw and open it with either hand, just the way it is...either pocket...no problem!)

I spoke without looking, and my assumption was wrong.

Stay armed...with a right-handed Leek...stay safe!

Great knife- the textured inserts WILL tear your pants up over time, just so you know.

I prefer "add character", tear up sounds so negative.

I love my K.O. Blur. Great Knife, as Locopelli said.

I was a Gerber and Buck fan until I started carrying the assisted opening Kershaws. Its all I carry these days on my weak side front pocket clip.. Its a Kershaw scallion I bought at Wally world for 40.00 and absolutley believe its the perfect (for me ) carrying knife. Light weight, scary sharp out of the box, easy to keep a razor edge on, with by broadhead sharpener. I've skinned over 10 wild hogs with it and it perfromed super. Kershaw's are great knives...

I have the exact same model...It is one great defensive carry knife..

I used Scotchbrite on the scales of my Avalanche to make it a little more pocket friendly. It didn't change the appearance . . . just made the texture less aggressive.

Best how? Speed of the mechanism? lock strength? Price compared to other brands? Durability?

All of the above. I had a SOG Flash that often failed to lock, and a SOG Trident that ceased to be an assisted opener after about 6 months of EDC. No more SOGs for me! Gerber uses nylon bushings in theirs, therefore I don't want one. I own a Camillus Blaze that won't open with the stud, just the flipper. I've got a 6-7 year old Kershaw Whirlwind that opens as smoothly and quickly as it did the day I bought it. Locks up just as solidly too. Not to mention the very reasonable price.

I probably should have said the best available that I have personal experience with as there are brands that I haven't tried. I did say the best in my opinion.
