Chisel edge blades have been very popular for a number of years. Almost every blade ground with this edge has the angle ground on the left side, evidently because that is the side the maker/manufacturer normally places his name/logo on. You know, the side facing the camera. Gotta get that free ink!
Most people are also right handed, (maybe 90%) meaning if they cut something with their knife, cutting away from themselves, especially a chisel edge blade, the left side of the blade faces downward. If the edge is very sharp, and the blade is held at an awkward angle, it will dig into the material being cut.
Now, if you're a southpaw, and you cut the same material with that blade, the edge will dig right in and your knife will cut easily. The chisel edge will work just like a chisel, or the blade in a wood plane. So, 10% of the people get a knife that is ground specifically for them.
What's the answer? Most of those blades should have been ground on the right side, and the logo could be applied to that side, too. Now watch the fur fly!
