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.
The problem I am running into is they are all:
Or
I used to make do with right-handed or ambidextrous items, but I am sick of "making do".
I feel the same way, I’ve been switching as much as I can to proper left handed tools. Changing to proper left handed scissors made a huge difference, I’m sure a good lefty knife would too.
You are not alone in your frustration!
$68 for the left-hand Liong Mah designed Eutektik Binary at KnifeCenter.com. There are both left and right-handed versions and both are liner locks if that's your thing.
I'm not sure where you have searching but you might try dedicated knife stores like Knifecenter.com or BladeHQ.com or WhiteMountainKnives.com
