Is the saw considered as a left hand or a right hand blade?

I actually use the saw using both my left and right hand depending where the cut is being made. It is easiest to use right handed where you can see the cut line better or use the blade guide, plus the saw is supported better on right handed thin cuts.

The saw is left bladed. In your right handed the blade is to the left/inside. If a rightie, you can see the guide markings better (and cut a finger off your left hand easier) than a right bladed saw. Flip side is, usually you can not support your work piece with left hand so you may need to clamp/support what you are cutting. Depends. Being a rightie I prefer a left bladed saw, but it is a matter of taste. If you are a leftie the reverse may hold true.

HiThe saw is opposite of most saws you will be using your right hand illooking at the right to make a cut your base plate will be on the right again it is the opposite of most, still evaluating this need more time to give you an honest answer if it's better or not for a right handed person. My other opinion about the quality in design of the saw it is one of the best ones I have used, the electric brake, the heavy duty base and the LED all makes it an excellent choice.

The handle is designed for either hand and the blade appears to be the same 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.

Not by design but I can see how you could flip the blade around to accommodate the left hand

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.

No, this is a left handed now. The "Lh" indicates that. I accidentally ordered it and had to return it. Righties should look for a "RH" in the description :)

The blade is held in place with screws, so it can be reversed for left-hand cutting. We bake large round crusty loaves in a LaCloche, so we have to cut the loaves in half with a large knife in order to get them to a size that the ~9" bread saw can handle.

Yes, the handle rotates and LOCKS in 3 positions: left/center/right (9/12/3 o'clock positions) which makes it convenient for BOTH left or right hand use. It also has double-action cutting blade action (both upper/lower blades move to cut).

The blades are made in such a way as to allow them to both fit into the scabbard. One will be right handed and the other left handed, mearly by nature of the blade

No, you have to have your hands on both handles in order for the saw to work.

Yes, Rev, there is a thumbstud on both sides of the blade and the pocket clip can be mounted on either side of the handle to accomodate left or right hand. I bought an extra for a friend who is a lefty and one they moved the clip to the right side of the handle they were good to go. The clip removes and installs easily with 2 torx screws.

Its right handed.....blade is on the right. I'm also right handed and it works perfect.

You can use either hand. It does not matter you can select left or right handed

I believe so. Although I am a right handed person, I do not see any problems using the knives either by right or left hands.

Jerome, The miter 1000/HD can be used on either side of the blade. It comes set up for the left side, but instructions detail how to convert it for use on the right side of the blade.

As shipped it is set up to be used right handed. It would be a simple change to turn it into a left handed knife. Two new small holes would need to be drilled in the wooden handle and then the blade screwed into those holes. (It's a GREAT knife!)

This is a very high quality and user friendly saw. However, the accuracy of this type of saw is much more dependent on the skill of the user than on the design/quality of the saw. If you are right handed this is the saw to buy as you can more accurately follow the cutting line, because the blade is on the left and is easily seen (if properly illuminated). That having been said, if you intend to build cabinets, get a table saw with a good fence.
