I was debating a CRKT Delegate Gentleman but as I'm left handed and the opener is only fitted for a right hander, I don't want to have to use my weak hand (literally, it goes nerveless occasionally and I have dropped expensive stuff).

So, hopefully, you can all help, I'm looking for:
3"+ blade,
folder,
two tone wood handle design,
thin blade (I have a CRKT NIRK and a fixed blade KABAR for heavy duty stuff),
Price point at about $50 US,
assisted open would be nice,
and if possible (but not required) made in the US.
Thanks all.

American made at that price will be challenging as will wood.

You could look at the various ambidextrous opening assisted openers. The ones with "flippers" are very easy to open with strong or weak hand. Movable clip is important as well. Take a look at the American made Kershaws (http://www.kershawknives.com/searchresults.php?search_by=madeinusa&search_value=0&brand=kershaw) as well as the Bear and Sons.

Just bought a Buck for my 12 year old grandson and was impressed overall for what I got for around $40

I made my decisions, while they're not a gentleman's knife, the japanese Higonokami and an other type of friction folder I was turned on to via reddit, a Svord peasant knife are my next acquisitions, thanks all.

I really wanted to get that CRKT Delegate Gentleman model but they have no plan to make them for lefties.

I bought a delegate. Hard to open one handed with big hands. FYI.
