I have never seen a lefty sng or smf on here. Does anyone have one? Do they exist? I thought I read they make very few left handers, just wondering if they really do from time to time. I am looking for an sng or smf. I have a lefty large sebenza, and since finding that, I am on a mission to find a lefty strider. If you have one, post pics!

Yeah Strider makes both a left handed sng and smf, but I don't know how many they've made or how often they make them. I've seen plenty of pics myself; however, I don't own any lefties. Just one right handed sng for me at the moment.
 
Don't own one, but have held one. A fellow southpaw had one at a local knife show a few years ago.
 
I don't know if you've handled one, but you might be able to make the right-handed version work for you. I'm right handed, but I've noticed that my Strider SMF and PT are relatively easy to open with my left hand. The thumbstuds are on both sides and the handle is designed so that it's the same distance from the top of the scale to the stud/oval hole from both right or left. The clip doesn't really get in the way and i would imagine it to be a non-issue on the CC versions.

As a comparison -- I can't open my Sebenza or Bradley Alias left-handed.

My gripe isnt of the lock, but of the pocket clip. I am very capable of closing righty liner locks and frame locks, but it makes me mad when i have to pull a right hand knife out, and then flip it around just to be able to open it.
 
I own a lefty SNG. That thing took a bit of looking around to find. I've never seen or heard of a left handed SMF. I'd love to get my hands on one of those if they exist. Check with Neil at True North Knives. He has a couple lefty SNG's on his site (drop point and tanto) but it shows that they are on backorder. Good luck in your search!
 
Buddy of mine's got a lefty Strider. I forget which one it is, though. And, he said it was spendy.
