Are these ambidextrous knives? My wife is left handed and most of the Shun handles (classic line) have a slight D shape and are hard to find in lefty.

Interesting my wife is right handed and I am left handed. Although my wife allows me limited use of these very nice knives. I went and looked at the handles and they look symmetric to me - I can not see any shapes that would indicate the knives are handed. When I have used them left handed, I did not sense any issues using them.Best regards,Chuck

I have five Shun Premier knives including the TDMS284 and they all look symmetrical to me. I have used the classic line and and I prefer the Premier line as they seem to be a little stronger.S Hun makes excellent knives and have a lifetime warranty.

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. :)

The Shun Premier line is a more round handle. I'm right handed and my girlfriend is left handed, and the knives fit perfect for both of us. I don't believe she would have any problems with the Premier line.

I'm not sure how they would be for a lefty, my pair are great, not dull, I've split my finger twice with mine so sharp!

I installed mine on the right, due to being dominantly right handed. But looking at them, I see no reason why they wouldn't work just as well for the left.

Yes, you can get a leftie, but it is a gimic in my opinion. I like my Shun. I've had it for almost seven years. In my opinion you can do better, for less money. https://www.boker.de/us/kitchen-knife/boker/damascus-black/130421DAM.html This is a favorite, and I have lots of knives. It's not a Santuko, but that as well is overrated and not that important.BTW, my Shun is very hard. The edge gets small chips in it quite easily. Do not steel this knife! This hardness also makes it harder to sharpen. It is also a somewhat heavy, thicker-bladed knife for not being a heavy-duty German knife. I would not cut chicken bones with it because of its hardness and proclivity to chip. Yes, you can get a leftie, but it is a gimic in my opinion. I like my Shun. I've had it for almost seven years.

I have used mine with both hands. I did fine. I don't know if I have trained myself to shift pressure on them to make them work left handed, but I know I had to cut fishing line off my fins at 70+ feet deep, and they did it with both hands. I have always switched hands for painting or writing when my right got tired, so I don't even give leftie use a thought. That being said, I had NO PROBLEM as a righty or leftie with these. If there is a problem with it, please come back and reply to this so it will negate it for others.

I did not look for left handed clubs but these are good and if you are a senier get the senior flex !!

The answer to the question you asked is "yes." It's not an "ambidextrous" mouse, but a true "left-handed" mouse, shaped to fit the palm of your left hand exactly as you described. Yes, the buttons are configurable, but that's not what you asked.

TANDEMKROSS does sell these in a lefty version! Just send them a message and they will send you a lefty if they have one in stock

my first response was yes, but I'm not left handed. Ask the maker on their web site.

I would say it is... I am right handed and the shape of the handle is such that if you hold it in your hand by the handle, the left side of the handle is round, while the right side of the handle kind of protrudes out very slightly to fit into the space where your knuckles bend. Its a very very comfortable knife to use.

The sheath is not ambidextrous, but you can still wear it on the left side. You can switch the position of the knife. Long term that may not be good for the sheath.

Mine are right-handed. I'm not sure if you can order left-handed clubs. Read all the details or write company.

A left-handed person can use it because with your left hand you still turn it clockwise, not counter clockwise. Actually never had anyone ask about left-hand use and this benriner has been around a long, long time and we have sold it for years and I am sure there have been left-handed users. Thank you.

I don't think it will matter actually. Although I am right handed. So.....? The cutting edge is on the right side of the unit. The handles are square in the middle with no apparent favor to one side or the other. I hope this helps somewhat.

While the finger holds are the same held either way, I do not think that you would find it satisfactory. The entire purpose of these is the large blade which protects you from cutting too much. Reversed you lose that protection because the larger blade would end up on the bottom. So I would not get these for a leftie. I found their contact info and included it below. Hope you can locate left-handed ones because they are just the ticket for cutting out tricky appliques and other close trimming work. The larger blade really does protect well.

The handle and silicone paddle are in a straight line. You should be able to use them with either hand. I am a righty but have used them left handed and held them either way in my right hand.
