How lefty friendly are Strider SNG's?

From looking around the forum, I've discovered that left-handed SNG's do exist, but they are rare and hard to find.

Since I'm ambidextrous, but I do favor carrying and opening left-handed, I was wondering how the regular right-handed SNG's feel in the left hand?

Would the CC version be preferred over the Lego or GG?
 
I am a lefty and the right hand Striders are very easy to operate.
I had a few SNG's and they are awesome.
 
Funny you should ask this. I'm actually right handed and my left hand is really clumsy and dumb. But I actually use my left had when I play with my SnG.

I got the Lego, but I would go with a GG. The G10 on my Lego is really smooth
 
I am right handed but open my DGG SMF with my left hand all the times. It works equally with both hands.
 
Cool. I'm glad I don't need to worry too much about that then.

I planned on left side back pocket carry against the seam, so a right-handed SNG would actually work better than a left-handed one.
 
I am right handed, but I AM very ambidextrous; I CAN open my SnG left handed.
 
the SnG would work well in the rear left pocket. its a nice and thin folder with a beefy blade so you can sit on it. i would suggest you consider the CC or DGG if your going to be sitting on them.

I am a lefty, too. And when I first bought an SNG (which I freakin LOVED!) I didn't find it tooooo much of a hustly to operate it.
Still, when I got my Sebenza LH I realized how much more natural it feels. I then sold my SNG for the simple reason that I don't want to pay 400 bucks on a knife that isn't even for "the right hand".

High-end production knifes are expensive enough.

(There is one upside, tho: If you're a lefty, you don't put pressure on the lock bar when you open it. So it is easier to open. With the Sebenza I had huuuge problems in the beginning.)
