Looking for a gift for a left handed friend.

Are there any production liner locking knives that are truly left-handed? I don't mean ambidextrous thumbstuds, but having the liner on the opposite side of the knife; thereby enabling a lefty to open and close it like a standard knife.

I know that lockbakcs and Axis-style locks are totally ambidextrous, I was just curious about the existance of a lefty liner lock.
 
Columbia River used to make a true lefty version of the Mirage. I have one, but don't know if it is still available.
 
Benchmade used to make several lefty liner locks (stryker and afck if im not mistaken), I occasionally see them in retail shops.

Kershaw made a lefty mini random task as well (now out of production)
 
Ken Onion offers some of their "assisted opening" knives in full "lefty", I am a southpaw also, and came very close to buying one.
 
If I may, I will vouch for the Emerson left handed knives. They are great; lefty liner locks, they are even available on the models with the Emerson WAVE feature.
I have seen the Commander, CQC7, and SARK all in left handed configurations.
 
Last Confederate,

Ken actually doesn't offer lefty knives - I've begged. :) Kershaw used to, but they were probably loosing too much money on them (Random Task and Mini Task) so they stopped making them. :(

All,

Benchmade used to make a left AFCK and Stryker, but don't anymore. :(

I just picked up two CRKT Mirage lefties, but I haven't seen them anywhere else, and I bought all the guy had. :)

Right now short of a custom, I would go for one of the Benchmade Axis-Lock knives. Totally ambidextrous. :)
