Just curious...



how many of us are either lefty or ambi enough to even write left handed?



I haven't found much I can't do left handed... other than the kitchen equip at work thats set up for a right hander.



My Word, My Honour, is my Life.

I am right handed. However, I try to use my left hand too as I believe in ambidextry. I can write with my left hand, but the writing is - to say the least - ugly!

I am left-eye-dominant, and tend to be left handed, but my "strong" side is my right side, as when I am using my whole right arm or leg. I write left handed, but cannot write with my right hand, and I throw with my right, and cannot throw with my left. I use a forward grip with a knife in my right hand, but a reverse grip feels more natural in my left hand. I could go on, but in general I am somewhat ambidextrous, or is it just confused? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I'm the same as Rex.

I'm left-handed. I was born that way...Dammit!.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

i am a natural left hander.

dann> and I suppose your biggest peeve is ppl like me who have trained thier left hand and then complain about the right handed world?

My Word, My Honour, is my Life.

Left handed and right-brained (probably why I'm a Mac user), but use scissors (not a knife) and calc. keypads with the right (I guess numbers are a left brain thing...).

Happy Holidays everyone!

I am also the same as Rex.I have heard that only 1 in every 250 people are like this.

SOOOO!,I see the internet is on the computer now!....Homer Simpson

I'm a true Lefty & of course write with my left . I catch with my right (throw with my left) and use scissors with my right.

ps I also use a Mac!

Ah, the world of Southpaws...:p

I'll admit it...I'm a natural-born right hander. But, I do use my left hand equally well in deploying my knives (Spydies). (Go figure?<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) I also use my left hand when I make my custom knives especially when I grind the left side of the blade. (This process took me a long time to master, let me tell you.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

I just wish that Spyderco made a bigger variation of left-handed knives. That way, I could carry more Spydies in my left pockets for back-up and such.

first i tried using scizors left handed which obviously doesnt work. then i tried to use my right hand which felt really weird. so i learned to use knives and tearing ;-)

Just left handed! Born that way and can't change.

BUT

Now I will try to finish!

BUT:

Like other lefty's we are a least in our right minds.

I'm wierd, right handed by nature, but also i'm left eye dominant.
As for opening <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s I can do either about as quickly, I shoot right handed using my left eye to aim with handguns,Or point shoot a shotgun.
With a scoped rifle or a bow I use a righty, while I can write with my left I fear the law suites for impersonating a DR <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Ron

I can't write left handed, but I do all my handgun shooting left handed, and I'm ambidextrious with knives. I can now shoot better then I ever could right handed. I decided to change to a lefty shooter about 8 yrs. ago after I broke my right arm for the 5th time, in a motorcycle accident. On this one I had to have pins put in. Because of all this I will have severe authritus someday, and I injoy fireing hand cannons, so I decided it was best for me. RKBA!

I'm just a righty.

Rex, I don't know if you are confused, but now I think I am! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

There is no right way to do a wrong thing

Righty here. I can deploy knives left handed, but rarely cut with them in left. I taught myself to brush my teeth and eat left handed (even with chopsticks!). When I was first learning to write Japanese, I started with my left hand. It wasn't much worse than my right. Unfortunately, I switched and lost that ability.

I use the computer mouse in either hand.
