QUOTE]What should I purchase?[[/QUOTE]
The small left hand Sebenza for sale over at knife forums maybe? http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/759983/
If you don't want to spend that much though get ya one of the BenchMade HK34s model number 14200. I have the HK34FDP and love it. It is a great knife for south paws being an axis lock. About $119 shipped if newgraham still has them at the old price. Price goes up soon on them to 137.46 before shipping.

Pretty much all Benchmade Axis locks are completely ambidextrous.

lefthanded sebenza :thumbup:
Just to repeat and agree with what has already been said:
If you want to spend 100-200 bucks, Benchmade's Axis lock is ambidextrous. It is not biased towards righties at all. Move the clip to the other side (the holes are pre-drilled), and you experience the same knife righties do.
Also, lockbacks with a thumbstud on both sides or a hole are ambidextrous. Spyderco makes many ambidextrous lockbacks, several of which are high-end, such as the Manix and Persian. Spyderco also offers make great knives for a lot less than 100 bucks. They aren't top of the line, but they are definitly quality knives. It just depends on what you mean by "top of the line", as a swap-meet-knife fan would consider a Native or Delica to be insane top of the line super knives.
If you want to get something a step or two above Benchmade and Spyderco, the Sebenza is the standard. I cannot say it is the best lefty knife, nor the only, but it is truely the standard. It is also a great value compared to lefty versions of custom folders.
