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.

Lefty here. Kershaw Iridium is great, fully ambidextrous, and the clip can be mounted on either side. I also used to have a Spyderco Dragonfly 2 that was excellent and small, a great everyday knife to keep in the watch pocket of my jeans. Wish I knew what happened to that one!

And if you’re feeling more…frugal…I still regularly use this Gerber EZ-Out Skeleton that I bought in the year 2000. The steel is nothing special, and I don’t think the clip is reversible, but otherwise also good for lefties:
