Handedness of Utensil Manipulation

Fork left knife right, or korean(flat, ridged end) chopsticks.

You are left or right handed? Which hand do you use fork in if you do not use knife?

Varying pleb utensil habits

[*]Holding fork in right hand if using just fork. If using fork and knife, holding knife in right hand and fork in left hand for cutting, but then switching to knife in left hand and fork in right hand for eating.

Holding fork in left hand and knife in right hand if using fork and knife.
Knife is main tool and fork just support ...

this is just some dumb rule someone made up
you can easily cut many things with just fork anyway, and surely it isn't so comfortable to hold something on a knife, while its comfortable to both hold and cut with a fork!

Is this swapping not inefficient? What is logic of this being superior?

Do you mean to suggest this knife is total redundant or merely inferior to fork?

depends what is it used for
if u r eating then usually is better, but i wouldn't use fork to butter a sandwich
of course knife is an useful tool, but using fork in left hand by right handed people is just weird, that's it

Right handed. Fork in right hand if used alone. Swapping may occur(fork right, knife left) in cases of particularly tough or slippery meats that require more force to hold down, but this feels awkward as my cutting motions with a knife in left hand isn't as fluid.

I learned to cut left handed because formal dinner rules require it. Hazing at a dinner party can be called for for any rules infraction, no matter how minor. (No, I'm not sharing more than that... well, I'll just say that someone pissed in the grog one year.)

I think if the meal is well cooked, you can actually cut it with fork, one little piece at a time, nice and easy and nobody will probably notice.

In the places where only steel knives can carve into the meal because the cook hates his job or his customers or everyone, nobody will probably care if you use your fists.

So I usually just use the fork, but if I need to use a knife then I do it with my right hand because I need strength and precision with it, fork going in left hand or in a waiting position. I tend to never put a knife in my mouth, so when I can send the food to my mouth, I use the fork for that, holding fork in right hand.

I am right-handed.

Lefty here !
Fork in left, always. Spoon in left, always.

after being stationed in japan for 5 years I grew accustomed to using chopsticks and even when I went back to the us I still regularly eat with them. it deffinately slows down your eating but I think that's a good thing you end up eating less but I feel its more enjoyable.


I can make a mean plate of Japanese curry and rice. also learned how to make my own rice triangles

sadly if you don't use it you lose it is very true most of the language I picked up while there I cant remember T_T
