Are you left handed?

[Everose]

Hehe. Me is two handed

Just my 2 cents for the folks who might be interested medically.

You would call yourself left or right handed depending on what hand you use the knife not the pen or mouse or anything else,just knife.
The reason behind it is that you instinctively grasp the knife that is potentially lethal with your dominant hand.
So if you write with your right hand but you take the knife in your left , then you are lefty.

Another fact:
Although the majority of people are right handed right shouldered but People can be right handed left shouldered. Meaning they take the knife with their right hand but the gun to their left shoulder. My father was one of those guys . He was 100 right handed like most of us but took the gun to his left shoulder.

Did it worth 2 cents?

What kind of knife are we talking about here? I cut bread and things on my plate holding the knife in my right hand. The fork stays in my left hand while I’m eating. I use my left hand when trimming meat, paring vegetables or chopping things. By this definition, am I ambidextrous?

Wouldn’t taking the gun to the left shoulder be more of an indicator of which eye is dominant? I’ve never heard about having a dominant shoulder.

I use knives with my left hand.

I use knives with my left hand.

My mom is a left handed person that got “corrected” by her first grade teacher, but uses her right hand for knives and scissors and things. My brother is ambidextrous, as are my mom’s brother and father. I’m left hand dominant but I use right handed scissors because that all I ever had available, except the terrible ones at school. I think I tried a pair in second grade and decided it wasn’t worth the bother. What hand I use varies from task to task, and there is a certain logic to it, even though it probably doesn’t seem logical to anyone except me.

My dad likes to bake bread, and everyone always got mad at me if I cut a slice off of the left facing side of a loaf if they’d already cut off the right facing side. Me being lazy and not bothering to flip the loaf around, I just taught myself to cut bread with my right hand. I cut food in my plate with my right because I thought it was a great bother to have to switch your knife back and forth, and a fork get more comfortable in my left hand anyway.

Knife things that require a little more dexterity, like chopping, paring, peeling, etc. are all done with my left hand. I also like using a vegetable peeler in my left hand because that side of the blade was always sharper in my house growing up because it was rarely used.

Hehe. Me is two handed

Me too!

 

[Feathers of Eden]

it depends on what im doing.
Shooting: Left
Batting: Left
Eating: both
Writing: Right
"Violining": Right
ect...

It seems to me you are right handed left shouldered. Both shooting and batting are shoulder move dominant
Just curious with which hand did you type ect ?

Very interesting family .
You : ambidextrous
Your mother : ambidextrous forced to use right
your brother : ambidextrous

So your dad was the only real right handed of the family yet your peeler as you mentioned shows me that it was used mostly by right handed member of the family .

In conclusion : Either your father was the guy that used the peeler way more than anybody else (he was the designated peeler) or your family is more comfortable with using the peeler in a right hand manner which unofficially means generally your family is right hand dominant.

Ps: It also means I am burning too many brain cells that I can't afford to replace.

It seems you ARE ambidextrous.
The gun thing you asked: The act of the bringing the gun to which shoulder depends on which shoulder is dominant and not which eye is dominant in my opinion.
Case in point was my dad who was right handed left shouldered but he also was right eye dominant so he had a hard time closing his right eye and using his left eye to shoot so he had a delay in finding and aligning the target as fast as others.

I neglected to mention last night that I have four sisters who are all right handed. (Sorry, it was late ) My dad did/does do most of the cooking though. My mom doesn’t like to cook much. My sisters are the ones who always got mad at me for cutting slices off the wrong side of the bread loaf because it made it harder to cut an even slice in the middle. You are correct that the whole family is overall right hand dominant.

That is fascinating, and probably a little frustrating for your dad!

It could have been if he was competitive and serious about hunting. He was not .

The only reason he bought a shot gun was to have an excuse to go outdoor with his friends and make fun of every little situation and laugh.
Also he married my mother who came from a very old traditional and quite famous hunter family.
