<p>Sorry, Brad! I made an incorrect assumption about you being a lefty. I had hurriedly glanced at your Contego and mistook the Wave that you had on it for a left handed opener. My bad! </p>

<p>I did a partial dis-assembly to check the pivot points for burrs, because lubing and loosening the pivot nut did not make it any easier. I did see that the spring to close the blade is massive and keeps the blade under tension near the closing of the blade. This maybe why it is difficult to open one handed. </p> Brad, being a lefty, how do y…tag:iknifecollector.com,2013-11-13:3181080:Comment:10063922013-11-13T22:19:23.117ZRon Cooperhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/RonCooper
<p>Brad, being a lefty, how do you like the compression lock on your Szabo? Do you encounter any problem disengaging it? Do you use your thumb, as opposed to an index finger, to release it with one hand?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is that I often hear how the Para 2 is not "Lefty Friendly." It also has a topside compression lock. </p>

Thanks Wes.<br />
It is tight on opening but worth the time to work it in. I won't be able to carry it in my pocket everyday because my work attire is somewhat more civilized. I will carry in my bag, which accompanies me everywhere. Got to keep working that pivot.

<p>Brad,</p>
<p>I know how you feel about your Szabo as I obtained mine about 3 weeks ago. Mine has the bright blade and the "lightening strike" carbon fiber/G10 scales. I love this knife. I've carried it around in the cargo pocket of my jeans sever since I got it--my EDC is either a Yojimbo 2, Sage 2 or a new HTC Gunhammer Radian. The Szabo is really too big for an EDC and would surely scare the crap out of most folks if opened much in public. I carry it in the cargo pocket since I can…</p>

I've carried it around in the cargo pocket of my jeans sever since I got it--my EDC is either a Yojimbo 2, Sage 2 or a new HTC Gunhammer Radian. The Szabo is really too big for an EDC and would surely scare the crap out of most folks if opened much in public. I carry it in the cargo pocket since I can hardly bear to be without it---handling it is addictive. It is one, wicked, huge, intimidating knife! I love mine. I'm over 65 and I have a hard time opening mine with one hand (I have to grip mine at the extreme rear of the handle to get enough leverage for my thumb to do a one-hand opener--of course mine is still tight from being new). I thought my Schempp Tuff was hard to open, but the Szabo is even more difficult, but I still love it. GREAT KNIFE!!</p>
