Right handed.

Fork left hand and knife right hand. If I put knife down for any extended period of time, then I switch fork to right hand.

I'd find it hard to cut something with my left hand.
 
The results are a bit weird, left handed people tend to use their dominant hand for the fork whereas right handed don't (when fork knifing). Personally I've always just done what felt comfortable, fork in right hand knife in left (I'm right handed).
 
5.i dont use a fork cause im a heathen.
Hate using a fork and knife I mostly only eat food I can eat with my bare hands.


But if I have to:
2.fork in left hand and im right handed.
 
I use my knife in the left hand and fork in the right.

I write right handed, played cricket left handed and when I boxed some years back I was a southpaw.

As such I am shunned by society.



No, no, you're shunned by society because you're you. That and the hump. And the drooling. At least you got rid of the skin disease though...:p

I'm semi-ambidextrous - i.e. I can't do anything with either of my hands :D but I use my left for most things. I hold the fork in my left hand and knife in the right. Spoon is also in the left, and fork-only is the left too.
 
I'm the same as you OP, right handed and use a fork with my right hand.

I always have to swap the fork and knife round in restaurants as It just feels weird the other way round.
