Well, well I'm ambidexteurus (left handed and right handed) I can do anything with either hand, although I use my right hand more often because everything is made for right handed people. But unless your looking a knife with finger grips, You're looking at a custom knife but if you need an auto I suggest a new age auto, a smaller stilleto or a leverlock from skm or a scale relase, you can learn to use those easily with both hands.
Left Handers
Hi Skinner,
I just saw a nice left hander at http://www.pvk.com
It's a limited run, left handed Buck 110 Hunter with finger grooves.

These should be awesome knives and I must have one.

Left Hand
Lefty has the answer. Also the Stiletto is easy to operate Correct-handed,
you use index finger to press the button. I maintain the Leverlock is faster
and easier to use Correct-handed. Right-handed people have a kind of
double-shuffle between the forward and open position we can sweep the lever with the index finger in one motion. We adapt nicely.

Left Handers
Vagrant, I absolutely agree with you on the LeverLocks. Using the index finger on your left hand to open right-handed switches works pretty damn good, especially on the LeverLock. I'd go as far as to say there's no use for anyone ever making a left-handed LeverLock. They're practically made for us correct-handed folk. Stilettos seem to work pretty well for the left-handed too. I can slide the lock open with my middle finger and press the button with my index in one continuous motion.
Now, Mikovs are for right-handers. I love'um though. Also the ProTec Godfathers are less friendly for left-handed use..... but it seems we adapt pretty well to what ever we have available. It ain't no big deal to me. It *is* nice though, when someone goes to the trouble to make a left-hander's knife. They're few and far between.

Lefties
I'd like a left-handed Leverlock to use right-handed when I can't reach the right-handed one in my left pocket. I'm conviced they are reversed.
If someone right-handed tried a left-handed Leverlock they would understand that the "wrong one" is actually better. [Faster plus you have a better grip]. Now a Left-handed Mikov would be GREAT.

Skinner only made this one post. Maybe he found one and left while he still had money in his bank account.
