Left handed knife recommendations?

Hello,
I am a left hander, and while researching about what knives to purchase I have discovered that knives are in fact specifically left or right handed due to the bevel angle.
Can anyone recommend good quality left knives for a left hander? I am after a 10 inch chefs knife, utility and pairing knife.
I held a 240mm Shun left handed knife in store and really liked the feel of it.

I also held a Global G-16 and liked the feel of it. The G-16 has a 50/50 bevel, am I correct in assuming this is a knife equally good for a left hander as a right hander?

Any other suggestions most welcome!
Thank you
