Right hand or left hand? I recently sold this knife. The buyer just got it and is going to return it because he stated it is a left-hand model. I am going to refund his money because he is unhappy with the knife, no question there. Just wanted to get some other thoughts. The darker side has a bit of concave feel to it and the lighter side has a bit of palm swell. I always though it fit pretty good in my right hand. Like I said before, I am refunding his money no matter what. The sheath is a right hand sheath. Just has me wondering about it. Some of you may be familiar with Burke knives in this style or Ed Fowler's knives. What say ye?

Can you please post a pic of the back of the knife?

The right hand sheath is certainly an indicator Bill made this for the right hand. Classy move to refund. I think it's the correct move in this situation and I hope the buyer appreciates your excellent service.

It's a stunning knife.
 
I can't post a picture because the buyer has not returned the knife yet. I found a picture on BladeGallery of an Ed Fowler left-hand model which makes me think that this is indeed a right hand knife. No sweat on the refund though. The buyer is unhappy with it. I kind of hated to let it go anyway.:D
 
The handle is definately righty. I have a righty pronghorn with the same concave on the handle.
 
My Bill Burke Pronghorn can be held fine in either hand but I can see where some might find it favoring one hand or the other. I find this to be common with any of the pronghorns made by any of that genre of knifemaker. Mine has a RH carry sheath too and Bill used it right handed when he demo'd its cutting ability.
 
You are a class act to accept the return.
The knife is a beauty and a classic, although I like a longer blade.
Having said that, sometimes a knife just doesn't feel right in the your hand and that's all you can say.
 
Beautiful knife. Hats off to you for taking the high road as a seller.

Definitely right hand. Unless the buyer's left hand is located on his right hand side. Don't make much sense either...
 
Not that you need another answer but its a righty. When you get it back let me know and I'll send you a hundred dollars for it
:p
 
Rob, I should have jumped on this when i had the chance! I'm happy to hear you and Robert finalized this deal. Congrats to both.
