Title: Great knives, but watch out lefties!
Product review: I agree with all of the accolades given to this paring knife by other reviewers. It's razor sharp and a work of art. However, it is designed for a right handed person, which shouldn't be surprising given that it's designed and made in Japan. As you may have guessed, I'm left-handed. Most people don't realize how many products are designed for righties and the challenges this presents for lefties. The asymmetry on this isn't so severe that I won't be able to use it, largely because it is so small. The "D" shape described in the product info isn't quite accurate, there is a ridge running down the right side of the handle, designed to fit in the crease of your hand. That ridge hits the middle of my thumb when I hold the knife in my left hand.This knife is great, but I won't be able to get a larger version unless they do away with the "D-shaped Pakkawood handle; comfortable offset steel bolster" or make a left-handed version.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
