As an experiment i tried eating my lunch using what i would consider back to front; Fork in right, Knife in left.

Totally useless.

I came to the conclusion that the hand using the knife requires most skill, ergo my right as in right handed.

Simple.
 
Er.. not really. rubbing one out is pretty much the deciding factor, not laziness, efficiency. But it's okay, you want to be special and different and I appreciate that, Mr. Leftie :).

Anyway, I force myself to eat the proper way, that it as British etiquette dictates. What is funny is whenever I go to America....

:o
 
I'm right handed.

If I'm cutting something, I always have fork in left and knife in right, but if I'm eating without cutting, i have fork in right and knife in left.
 
Right Handed - Left Hand Fork / Right Hand Knife

But if im using a fork only that goes in the right, if i need to use a knife i'll swap over :p
 
I looked forward in my youth to 'The Future', the year 2000 and beyond, when we were definitely supposed to be living on the moon, and eating protein pills and stuff from tubes for food.
And here we are still using fork'n'knives. I mean, knife'n'forks.
 
I do it the "wrong" way but a fork is like a spoon.

doesn't it get confusing when you just have a spoon and need to use your knive hand?

Trust me, our way is just better.
 
If you're right handed the fork must be in the left hand and the knife in the right, any other way is wrong. FACT.
 
I'm right handed and use the fork in my left hand and the knife in my right.
This is because I've been brought up properly.

However, if I'm only using a fork then I'll stick it in my right hand..
