Boyd Ashford Turtle pocket knife

Posted by Joel Johnson, June 20, 2008 7:06 AM | permalink

This cute little pocket knife, designed by Boyd Ashworth, is only two-inches long when folded and weights just 1.3 ounces. Despite its oddly endearing shape, it can still be opened one-handed.

It's available in multiple finishes for $40.

Super cute. I'd put it on my wish list but I'm a lefty & would be continually annoyed by its wrong-sidedness

ok, i'll bite, (i'm a lefty too) where are there signs of significant asymmetry that would benefit a righty here? (like most leatherman products which are pure rightocentric)

Don't feel bad.
I could never spell ambidextrous either.

My only problem with pocket knives in general is their limited usefulness in the modern world I live in.
A Leatherman Sideclip has been the thing for me, although someday it might be replaced by another multi-tool with a pocket clip attached to it.
