Why does this can opener show up under a search for left-handed can openers?

I don't believe it does. However, I am left handed and it works fine for me!

I'm not left handed, but when looking at this I do not see where it would cause you much problem. the shortcut buttons are not raised up to where you would be hitting them or anything. They are all flat/even with the whole device.

Hi Inara, I purchased this peeler along with the OXO can opener and OXO bottle opener. I love all of these products. I am left Handed and have no trouble using all of these products as I also Have arthritis in my hands. I hope this answer resolves your question.

My answer is that it is a left-opening handle. However the more important answer is this particular model allows you to make it either a right or left handle depending on which side of the door you are going to install it. It is quite simple and is explained in the owner's pamphlet included with the product. There is a pin-hole in the handle on the side of the lever. Use a small paper-clip and insert into the hole. This releases the locking mechanism that holds the lever handle to the plate. Then the lever handle can be pulled straight out. Then you can re-assemble the handle to the orientation you want, right or left. Good luck! Paul My answer is that it is a left-opening handle.

No, the can opener appears to be made for right hand use. Not sure if the company sells one for left hand use.

The default model is right hand only, but I have seen a left hand version. I am not sure where it came from.

Make sure you turn the handle to the left.. You would think you would turn it to the right but it open when you turn the handle left.

the model you have shown is one of the older models. my first one was/is just like yours. i recently bought another that is quite different, i.e., it is shorter and the body is "fatter", but it performs just like my old one. the logo on my new one is on the top of the can opener instead of the side. feel free to ask any other questions.

constance, it is ambidextrous. some times with my arthritic hands, i find one weaker, and i just turn over the opener and use the stronger hand you can disregard the mackenzie '"yes" answer..BEST CAN OPENER I'VE OWNED IN SIXTY YEARS, BUY IT...........................................george

It should be the left-handed dummy handle. We had a set of double doors with dummy handles, so we purchased 2 rights and 2 lefts, one of each inside and outside the room.

Yes, I used it to open a can with my left hand and it opened it just as well as the right hand.

No lefthanders here. You would have to turn the handle with your right hand. It is relatively easy to turn - depends on kind of can that needs opening.

When u go to select the gun holster and checkout it will ask left handed or right handed

That's the left. Any of the part numbers that end with a "L" are lefties I believe.

This is not the same design as the one I bought. I assume you are correct L-left and R-right.

I am not a leftie, but I can see how you might have a problem with this manual grinder. Maybe if you could secure the base, it would help.
