When I bought an old used yanagiba today, it made me think, would I be willing to try to use it as it's designed (right-handed) and what that would require? I'm left-handed for writing and drawing/painting as an artist, but every ball and dart I've ever tossed, target shooting with rifles, I've been right handed; even computer mouse included, so I wonder how hard it would be to train or learn to use a right-handed knife? Has anyone switched teams and care to share their thoughts? I'm not looking for speed, as a home/hobbyist cook, so the extra time and attention needed to use my non-dominant hand might not be a big deal, but I wouldn't want to be back in a professional kitchen and need to perform under a timeline with the wrong hand.
