can this blade be switched for left-handed users?

Yes, it is designed for right or left handed use. Blade assembles on either side providing visibility for either hand. There is a metal nut that unscrews when changing a blade. All you have to do it put the nut on the opposite side of its original position (comes assembled on right hand side). There is room, enough of a groove for the blade to be on the right hand side and the metal nut to be on the left hand side.

my first response was yes, but I'm not left handed. Ask the maker on their web site.

Yes! It will work great for left-handed people. I just tried it both ways. No matter how you hold it, left or right, you turn the handle clockwise.

As shipped it is set up to be used right handed. It would be a simple change to turn it into a left handed knife. Two new small holes would need to be drilled in the wooden handle and then the blade screwed into those holes. (It's a GREAT knife!)

I am right handed but I believe the curve of the scissor handle requires left hand or right hand. I would go to the website to see if they make left handed ones to be sure.

This is a right handed IWB. I don't see anyway to switch the hardware to make it a left side. Hope this helps

Yes, they are usable for left-handers, there is no preferred side of the spatula. They are the same on both sides.

While the finger holds are the same held either way, I do not think that you would find it satisfactory. The entire purpose of these is the large blade which protects you from cutting too much. Reversed you lose that protection because the larger blade would end up on the bottom. So I would not get these for a leftie. I found their contact info and included it below. Hope you can locate left-handed ones because they are just the ticket for cutting out tricky appliques and other close trimming work. The larger blade really does protect well.

I'm afraid so. Since I'm right-handed, it works beautifully; however, my husband is a southpaw and he seems to work well with it, too. There is just a very slight curve to the blade. This tool was purchased for our daughter who tried it and loved it. Ours is now at least 15 years old.

Not sure what you are asking, but I bought two myself and you can use them for left or right. I think they are mainly right handed but I use it for left as well

I believe so. We have not tried it left handed but the setup asks for left or right handedness.

I'm not left handed, but I doubt the safety instructions would sanction the operator standing on the blade side versus the motor side of the device. If you are comfortable reaching across your body, the power switch is accessible from both the left and right.

Yes, the handle rotates and LOCKS in 3 positions: left/center/right (9/12/3 o'clock positions) which makes it convenient for BOTH left or right hand use. It also has double-action cutting blade action (both upper/lower blades move to cut).

If you are a machinist (like I was) maybe you are able to switch the drive side to the left, But is a big job , because the drive gear and the worm gear have a spline on the shaft, and the brackets are offset. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer to see if they make a left handed awning.

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

According to information Ic found on Kershaw'swebsitec the answer is yes. I am a righty though, so no personal experience with switching the clip, but there are additional holes in the grip for that purpose.

You can use either hand. It does not matter you can select left or right handed
