Is this knife made for both lefties and righties (i.e. are both sides of the blade and the handle the same)?

I believe so. The handle seems symmetrical and western knives are sharpened on both edges. Sushi knives are ground flat on one side and angled on the other.

The blade edge is beveled on both sides and the handle shape is identical on both sides as well. It should work well for a left-hander.

Yes, the knife is available for left-handed users. Just search for "shun left-handed"Shun Classic Left-Handed 7-Inch Stainless-Steel Santoku with Scallops

If you are asking if the handle on the outside is right handed and inside is right handed, then no. You will only need to purchase 1, it will come with 2 handles, one for out and one for in.

I am right handed but I believe the curve of the scissor handle requires left hand or right hand. I would go to the website to see if they make left handed ones to be sure.

I don't know because I'm right-handed. However, I really do not recommend it as a general kitchen knife. It's good for dejointing chicken; but doesn't cut the skin at all. I am disappointed with it.

It is possible, although a little difficult. You need to use your index finger to push the lock bar back, and then push the knife closed with your thumb. Opening is no problem for lefties or righties. The thumbstuds are ambidextrous. Give them a little push and the internal spring does the rest for you.

No. Why would you buy right-handed knife if you are left-handed? Ps. That knife is the worst knife I ever bought. It's a piece of crap no stars from me.

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

It is double bevel cut. So it should work that way. I'm left handed too. Bread knives and boning knives are where you have to worry most. The blade states it is solid VG10 steel which is stainless steel and is supposed to be very good. My only complaint with the knife is that it tends to stick when cutting thru stuff due to the thickness of the blade. It's very comfortable in your hand though.

The blade is universal, therefore, it could be used by left or right handed.

Yes, I believe so. I am right handed but it appears to be as functional and comfortable for lefties. My only advice; DON'T cut your straps for a couple or even a few weeks. It takes time to get the perfect fit. Instead of cutting the straps shorter I ordered more screws to secure the tail you would normally cut off, I think it gives more strength, less stretch, etc.. I didn't follow my own advice and ended up buying three straps to achieve the proper fit.

It comes ready to use with the right-hand. However, there are two little phillip screws that you can easily flip the blade to make it for left-handed. So it does not matter which hand you choose.

It is a right handed sheath. It can be worn on the left but the knife will be backwards but can be worn that way. It is a very nice knife however, I received a lot of compliments on it by buddies that buy knives.

Yes thumb studs are on both sides. I'm left handed. I didn't like the knife because the thumb studs are sharp and will cut your hand reaching in the pocket.

Yes, absolutely! I am left-handed and I love this knife. Used it to cut angel food cake tonight - sawed nicely through it

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.
