Is this ambidextrous? Can it be used left-handed?

I bought this at my wife's request and we're both "rightys." My wife is an experienced cook and I asked her if there's any reason why this spatula couldn't be used left-handed. She's very satisfied with this spatula, by the way. She answered that she saw no reason why it couldn't. We went to the kitchen to see what we could tell and it seems that it could clearly be used either-handed. At about 1.5-inches in from the fat end, there's a very slight bend...looking at it the way the picture here appears, upward. The angle of this bend is very small. But, all in all, I'd say that being left-handed isn't a problem with this spatula and it's utily is equal for left and righ-handed people. I hope this helps.

It certainly could be used left handed. I am guessing with the tip slanted down to the left, that it was made with the right hand in mind. However, I don't see why it couldn't be used with either hand. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, it is only right-handed. It would be much more useful if it had tips on both sides.

I just got mine out and physically checked. YUP! Completely ambidextrous, just flip it around.

Greetings, it is right handed, but the mechanism is smooth enough for using it with the right hand. Unfortunately those with a dominate left hand don't get to use fine instruments as this.

Yes, a left hander could use these. I think they were actually designed for a left hand, but a right hander has NO trouble with them. And the company has a good satisfaction guarantee.

I am personally left handed, it works great for me, and a friend of mine has used it, he is right handed. So you should have no problem with it.

Yes, that makes you left-handed. No, it would be uncomfortable/unsafe to use the saw in that manner. You need a left-handed saw; they are available (unsure about on Amazon).

Yes. It is a universal fit and accommodates lefty's and righty's. I still have mine after 6 months and it has not moved a bit despite other reviews that state it slides off center. My reveiw stated it must tied like shoe laces and tightened in each eyelet. Yes it is ambidextrous. Do not put this on a collapsible stock. It's fir solid stocks

Not strictly. I am right handed, and although I mostly use it with my right hand, I have no problem using it with my left hand. So if you are left handed you should be able to use it with either hand.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact my left hand works it much better than my right. Whic ever hand works better for you.

No, I have a right handed one. I don't know if they have for left handed users.

Hi. First off there knives are amazing but the blades are delicate. If dropped there is a chance they can chip. As far as being ambidextrous, I don't think it would be a problem for a left handed person to use. :)

No - it's right handed only, unfortunately. That would be a great idea though.

This is right handed only. However, I'm left handed and I still love this thing!!!!

I'm right handed, but I sorta tested it for you and it seemed very flexible. It is definitely made for right handed people but I think you could easily use it left handed due to it's flexibility. Hope that helps.

Keeping in mind that I am so used to using it left handed the quick attempti made produced awkward results, however if someone has never used it before I suppose they could get used to using it that way. The keys themselves are not pitched more in one direction or another as to make themselves unusable if pressed with the other hand. Something worth pointing out is that your thumb is kinda just left hanging there with nothing to support it. So while not ideal, it is still doable.
