Double nested liners w/radius ramp liner lock?

I'm looking at purchasing the Blade-Tech/Wegner Professional Hunter.
I'm left-handed and see that the clip is reversable but I'm not familiar with the double nested liners w/radius ramp liner lock.
What's the difference from a traditional liner lock?
How might it work for me as a left-handed knife user?
Any other information on this knife would also be appreciated.

I was also looking at a LH Emerson Commander but I'm not sure what to think about the design and its tendency to pop open inside the pocket and slice fingers. I've read that this is due, mostly, to "user error" but I don't know to what extent I'll have to pay attention to the screw tightness to keep this from happening and it seems like a drawback in the end.

Thank you very much for any input.
 
Double nested=the pivot area is surrounded by a mini metal liner of sorts, with these mini liners being recessed into the G10. Similar in construction to the latest generation Spydie Military model

Radiused ramp=the bottom of the blade's tang, where the liner makes contact is radiused or rounded slightly, instead of being flat. It's supposed to make the liner lock stronger (and is actually easier to make than a traditional liner-lock style, as the tolerances don't have to be as exact).
