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.

An ambidextrous knife, by definition, works exactly the same for right or left handers, with no compromises.

For example, any knife that uses a cross-bar style lock works exactly the same no matter what hand is holding it. The lock exists through the body of the knife and is accessible from both sides.

    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.
