“I want to be able to use my expensive hardware for the reason I purchased it in the first place” seems like a pretty solid argument to me.

I’m gonna take this opportunity to plug the nuknives u23. As a lefty, finding a utility blade knife that is lefty friendly is near impossible. This thing fits the bill with flying colors. Bonus: They sell tons of replacement parts, should you damage it. If you have a job that’s hard on knives, this is the one for you.

Second shift, 4am.
