No problem. For a leftie, the straight and serrated knife knife on the Surge (outside) is not positioned very well for quick one-hand opening. You would need to flip it to lowerside and use you index finger -if that makes sense. Never thought of that, since 'rightie' here. It is a robust tool...
No experience with the Supertool, but the Surge is a big favorite. Just 'upgraded' from a Wave and both work on the same principle. Oh -the inner tools lock also, which was a step up from my (older) Wave.
My setup is pretty primitive due to lack of work space.
For the spine - I used disc sanders in a drill before but that was not very accurate. I now use a cheap, noisy band sander (the one you attack floors with) clamped upside down in a workmate. So basically a makeshift belt grinder with a...

The American Knife Company produced a poorly attempted copy once. I think they were one of Mike Stewarts companies (of Bark River 'fame'). That guy is really in the business of ripping of other peoples designs. Not sure they still exist: blog with review.
I just got one in for using as a general do-it-all knife and I am really impressed with the Lionsteel M4!
I also noticed that the protruding back end of the tang is squared now, so it throws a wicked spark. According to Gianni - that is a recent upgrade. Nice.

For me, the hassles involved with shipping to from the UK have made me stop looking at the classifieds or offering equipment (usually knives) here. I also noted that the forum in term of classifieds has become exceedingly UK centric for the same reason. Totally understandable but it makes the...
