I'll take that as a "no".

The clip can be swapped to either right or left hand carry, but if you're asking if Spyderco made any that has the lock on the opposite side then I'm sorry to tell you no. To be honest with you, I don't know if Spyderco makes any of their knives in a left handed configuration.
 
AFAIK, as of today, the only left handed Walker or Reeve lock knives Spyderco has ever made were a small number of the original Bob Terzuolas. There is talk of run of left handed Militaries, not sure whether that's a done deal or just a possibility.

That said, back when I first posted pictures of the prototype Sal sent me to photograph last November, I commented that it was nice enough that I wished it was left handed. This was Sal's reply:

Sorry about the right handed model Paul. If the demand is there, we can make a run of lefties.

So there's at least a glimmer of hope. :D

I will just add that both the Walker and Reeve lock Sages are about as "lefty friendly" as a knife with a wrong-handed lock can possibly be.

I have found the lock on the sage to be fairly easy to manipulate left handed. I am right handed, but always like to practice such things with my weak side just in case. That saidI could understand why southpaws would want a left handed model- it's one fine knife.
 
The main annoying thing about liner and frame locks on the wrong side isn't that it's harder to operate the lock, but that the locking liner often is too close to the thumb hole, making it harder to open. It's not extremely difficult (except on some knives), but it is a bit harder and it is most of all annoying. Gives you the feeling that the knife in question was made for somebody else than you.

If the knife has no choil wrong handed locks can be difficult, even dangerous, to close left handed. The Tenacious is a good example of that. But I agree the "hide the hole" trick is can make opening annoying as well. The Rock Lobster is probably the most egregious example in the current lineup. It gives us southpaws the one finger salute.
