Hi,

As I stated in last night's post, I am considering either the Sebenza 21 Small or the Mnandi, in left hand version ONLY! But i am open to other suggestions. So what are my other options in ONLY a left handed gentleman's folder in
the 350.00 price range or a bit under? In other words, please list other STRICTLY LEFT HANDED choices that may be similar to a Sebenza in quality or just a step below it.

I am NOT interested in any Spyderco's as I really dont care for the hole look, just not my taste! As a matter of fact, I carry the Spyderco Dragonfly in my pocket everyday and to me, its really nothing special and kind of cheap, toyish looking with the black plastic handles. I am certainly leaning towards a small Sebenza, but I just wanna make sure I look at or am aware of possible other choices.

This new knife will be for office carry and general household use.

Thanks!

I feel your leftyness. I have the CRK's you reference. If you have not handled both, the Sebenza is more khaki/jeans, and the Mnandi dress slack. I am interested in the answers you get.

P.S. Just saw your other post.

All my left handed knives are CRK's....nothing else really appeals to me except a RJ Martian and that's way over the price of a Sebenza
 
I really enjoy my DPx Hest and Heat. The Heat is more "gentlemanly" but both are better suited for Jeans. A Small Sebenza and a Benchmade 940-1 are on my wish list, but a little out of my price range at the moment. So I've really been gravitating toward single blade pinchable traditional folders (slips or lockbacks).

As an aside, I wish Kershaw would make a lefty version of the Leek. What production knives would you all like to see converted to lefty most?
 
I am a South Paw also, honestly you have two choices made by Emerson should you want a full Left handed folder. CQC-7, and Commander are both availavle in TRUE LEFT HANDED VERSIONS.
 
I have no experience with these, but the Risky and Buster by Southpaw Knives might be interesting.
 
Nak-lok, button-lock, and axis-lock knives are all lefty-friendly, as are most slip-joints. Could you be more specific as to what features you are looking for?

The nicest ones that come to mind are William Henry (e.g. E10), Benchmades (e.g. Shoki, Osborne models, etc.), and there are a lot of traditional slip-joints out there...

I believe Jim makes the TSF Beast in a lefty version. Great knife.
 
My recommendation would be the William Henry E10. As chiral.grolim pointed out, it's not a true lefty. But it's a button lock and definitely left-hand friendly. And the build quality of William Henry knives is second to none.
