Has anyone else noticed that the paring knives cannot be used by a left handed person? I had a customer order 6 of them and she can't use them. Luckily I love them so I just bought them back from her.
 
Ummm...they should be ambidextrous. There is nothing that is different on one side from the other!
 
I agree... they are fine for my left-handed Grandma. Maybe it was just her personal preference.
 
I use them & I have no problem with them....:D :D :D
 
I'm a righty so I've never noticed, but I did go and pull one out after reading this post. I see they are only beveled on one side (the side that would be facing up to a righty). My husband is a lefty, so I will have to have him try it out and see what he says. You know, I never really thought about it, but he usually doesn't use those when he needs a little knife. He uses a non-PC one.
 
I'm a lefty and have no problem using them!
 
My husband is a lefty and uses them just fine!
 
I'm a lefty & I've never noticed a problem! That's one thing I love about PC--I can use their stuff! The can opener is the ONLY one I've ever been able to use!
 
I'm a lefty, and I've been using them for years. I use them to peel potatoes, instead of the vegetable peeler.
 
I'm a lefty also and LOVE my QC paring knives!
 
Yes, I have... I had a Host complain to me about it. If you look at them closely, they are sharp on only the right hand side. Left hand side is completely smooth. I was really shocked when she showed that to me. She said it's just harder to cut with and they don't work right. I have sent an email to HO.

I'm a lefty and never even noticed. I will have to pay attention next time I use them. Hmmm, makes me wonder how well they really work if I'm satisfied w/the non-beveled side..lol.

really. I think they work awesome.
 
Hmm, maybe it's the angle at which some lefties use them. I have a friend who's a lefty and she LOVES them.
 
my husband is a lefty and he loves them, we had another couple over for dinner this weekend and he talked about the knives so much they ordered 10 of them.
 
Off topic but right now my sister and I are using them to remove wallpaper in my kitchen..lol
 
It must have just been that guest because my left handed sister in law would never be caught dead in her kitchen with out them!
 
Me too!My SO is a lefty and uses them all the time with out a hitch. I bet she noticed the bevel and instantly decided she can not use them. Psycological thing I bet.
