Hey manixguy,
Southpaw here, too. I've not had an issue with right handed linerlocks, rather I find using my my left index finger to disengage the liner lock proves to be quick and reliable..
Is it bad enough that you don't own any right linerlocks?
Do other left handed guys have an issue with linerlocks?
Edit: wording

I only have two liner locks and one is first run Military and feel same about frame locks . Just my preference would never diss a lefty using a righty . MG2

Liner locks are fine as long as there's an appropriate cutout on the other side/jimping. In fact they're (unfortunately) much easier to use than a compression lock.
I picked up a GB1 recently because I regretted selling one years ago and it's- IMO- a better knife than the GB2. The 2 is nice but it's a lot of pocket real estate for worse ergos than the GB1, which almost feels like a Glesser design in that respect. So I'm ambivalent about crucarta but I do think the GB1 deserves to come back.

Interesting.. in what steel/handle combo would you be interested?
I like my GB2 M4 I just got a lot. If the GB1 is any better then I am in.
I would not say it is better, more that it's in the same vein but different . Similar vision, different execution. It has a shorter edge and is heavier, but on the other hand it has better fit and finish (the liners) and the hollow grind is higher and funnier
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

I'd buy one, but personally I feel like it's a great platform for an SNK exclusive.
I was thinking this last night. I like Cruwear but I figure, since BHQ has one we'll probably see a SNK version. I have all the SNK's so I'd definitely go with that one
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
