Can the blade be switched to the other side for left-handed use?

Yes, Very easy, just loosen the plastic nut on the out side and put the blade on the other side and replace nut on opposite side, takes 10 seconds. Darrell

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

If you order the custom version from Timbuk2, you can get it in a left handed version. However, the price is a bit higher depending on your configuration.

Yes, it can. I am a lefty myself and even though I bought the set for my son I tried it out myself. Buy extra arrows as they break easily :)

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.

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

Not very easily. You would have to do some cutting and welding. Check with the company to see if they sell the left side.

Yes, I believe the way this tool is designed would be suitable for a left-handed person. I highly recommend it. Before I purchased this item, it was a real struggle to get the coconut meat out of the shell. It's a lifesaver!!

I wouldn't be the right person to make that choice. I'm left handed so I have a hard time with knives.

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.

It appears it can be used by both. I am right handed. It is metal and cuts well.

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.

right handed. Could possibly use left handed but the holes are chamfered. Mine are over 20 years young. As sharp and gorgeous as the day I bought them. I do admit I paid over $90 for mine ( came with a plastic blade cover lol) I was shocked at the price here.

yes it can be switched simply buy unscrewing screw and swapping to left side.

I'm not left handed, but I doubt the safety instructions would sanction the operator standing on the blade side versus the motor side of the device. If you are comfortable reaching across your body, the power switch is accessible from both the left and right.

I'm afraid so. Since I'm right-handed, it works beautifully; however, my husband is a southpaw and he seems to work well with it, too. There is just a very slight curve to the blade. This tool was purchased for our daughter who tried it and loved it. Ours is now at least 15 years old.
