Along with the Left Hand Paramilitary 2, Spyderco also offers the Military Model in a left hand dedicated version.

Of course Spyderco offers a large variety of ambidextrous models as well.

Speaking as a righty, I think logically the Para3 is next. But that really only leaves the YoJ and Shaman out of Golden with locks that need the treatment. China made locks are almost exclusively all right handed linerlocks. Except for the recent UpTern backlock. So a budget friendly lefty liner lock would sell well enough I’m sure. But budget aside, I’d say let’s see a left handed Ti frame lock like a Sage 2(2.5?). Taichung doesn’t have a dedicated lefty lock do they?

My thoughts as well. Equally amazing in either hand.

I have the lefty Millie , PM2 , and Manix2 knives. I highly recommend a Manix2 if a lockback is not your preference . I would love to see in the future a lefty Para3 and even runs in the Value line lefty . Spyderco has a lot going right now so my expectations are rather low but understand . MG2

I think the right hand compression lock is a left hand compression lock, depending on how you use the lock. If you press the lock release with your thumb, do you want to reach over the knife to press the release or do you just want to press the release on the side that your thumb is already at.

The designer of the Gunting put a now-a-day "left hand" compression lock on a right handed knife.

All of the high quality Seki made FRN Backlocks have 4 way clips and a backlock so they are truly ambidextrous. Tons to choose from! Endela, Endura, Stretch, Delica, etc

If you can find one, the bolt action lock on the Sage 3 is great for both! But that’s not current production

As a lefty, I’ve had good experience with CMEs on compression locks.
