And it's left and right clip
 
Can't say enough good things about the str clips. You really need to check them out. That way you don't just limit yourself to factory low riding knives.
 
I forgot to mention that the A.G. Russell Acies titanium framelock (ZDP-189) also has a low-rider clip. The only problem is the Acies was only made in small quantities and can be hard to find. Doesn't come cheap at 375 USD MSRP.

@Lemonte: Glad you liked the looks of the Fallkniven PXL.
 
Everybody has their own tastes, and that's great. But I've never understood the logic behind having a low ride pocket clip (which I would think is to improve concealment) and have it big, wide, and light colored (or even shiny - Spyderco is a big offender). They really stand out on dark colored jeans or slacks. I've got folders that sit up higher in the pocket but are less noticeable than many low rider clipped knives because of the black color of my knife's blade, scales, and clip.

This is an outstanding knife. I have the Ivory micarta version and I love the clip, could love it more if it could be set for tip up. In the initial run of these I think the clips had a problem with their heat treat as they were breaking due ti it. But I've read that this was taken care of right away, and now there are no problems.

While it is not a good EDC knife (for most) because of size weight and some of the handle inlays resisting when you pull it from your pocket, the KA-BAR Mule folding knife has a great low ride / deep carry clip. It also comes with a really nice sheath. I am a big fan of this knife for an increcibly affordable folding work knife. For that purpose and given the quality, I believe it is the best buy out there at the current price ($45).
