    it is the way the blade is sharpened...it is usually only designed to cut one way...you don't get a straight cut and a sharp cut if you hold a right handed knife. most cheapies are right hand designed. Henkel Knives are designed for both handed folk. i would imagine that just like lefthanded scissors, it would be keener to use!

    WHERE? is this lefty store?

      there's one in san francisco at pier 39, the turist trap uSa. but the shop is cool, they have a sign that says "the customer is NOT always right"

    well, if you think about it, you can sharpen an edge several different ways. one way is by making the edge a right triangle. that right triangle can have the point on either side, so there would be a difference between a right and a left handed knife. though... there are many other possibilities for the edge i suppose.
