Being right handed and footed, I have always eaten with the most useful implement, the fork, in my right hand not the left, which seems to be the standard, yet illogical way for most right handed people.

Because the fork is not the primary implement for dexterity - you are merely using it to hold your food in place whilst cutting it and to ferry the meal into your mouth. The knife is the implement you ought to be using with your stronger hand since you are trying to dice your food with it. Since you more or less only using a fork when eating, whereas knives are used for many other things, it is natural for you to be always holding the knife in your dominant hand.

Funnily enough I am left-handed for using a knife ordinarily (such as peeling potatoes, chopping vegetables, opening letters, sawing wood (with a saw, not a knife but still it's a bladed instrument), carving meat etc.) but I eat with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. So I'm the illogical one here. As I mentioned before, I am ambisinistrous, or cross-dominant, so to be honest it is always a bit of a lottery how I decide to approach an activity.

Must be 20 years plus since I had the left hand working over time , too much hard graft that
Anyone try the numbing technique , or was that made up , where you numb your arm and get it to work so feels like a random doing the graft
