The image is my current EDC, it is close to 30 years old. I cannot remember where or when I first got it. I do like the knife, but it is 100% right-handed. The image above shows how far I can open it one-handed before I have to place my thumb on the blade to finish opening it.
I am looking for a knife that is 100% left-handed, not ambidextrous. Those knives always have some part, typically the blade lock, that most be made for either left or right and right always wins.
I would like something with the same kind of blade, minus the serrations. I hate sharpening this thing because of them.
The handle is decently thick, I would like to stick with something like that. I have a Ken onion knife that has a really thin handle and I do not like it.
I would like to keep it under $150, but for the left blade that is negotiable.
By definition, yes. But by execution all that i have looked at are not full ambidextrous, be it the lock, the clip, or the ergonomics of the handle.
See @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 's post below. I am not aware of any knife company (this is different than a retailer) marketing knives as ambidextrous that are not so.
If you're looking for a left-hand only, Spyderco makes a couple. Example:

Another option is any knife with a back lock.
