What knives that is chisel ground or serreted blade have partner line that is same design and prise but for lefty.
It is very important to Japanese as we use knife aginst you. When we sharpen a pencle, I push my knife inside to out.It is Japanese traditional way.
It is why we Japanese need chisel ground or serreted line for lefty. Many good knives is not sold good in Japan as there are not same line for lefty.

Hi Chic, I don't know of any chisel ground left handed knives, but Benchmade and Spyderco both make serrated left handed knives. Also the Benchmade Axis line (3 different sizes) are offered with serration this is truly an ambidextrous knife.

Most of the chisel grinds and serrated blades on the market are left-handed. The problem is finding a right-handed one.

Left sided chisel ground blades were made by Mr. Emerson with intention to make the design clearly from utility blades purely dedicated for combative situtation. Mr.Emerson's knives for southpaws have the same blade as right handed ones.
Did you try Moki (or Al-Mar) Havana? Its edge is on the "right" side and not serrated. Tiny, very useful to carry everywhere.

Anyways Mr. Ishida, you're surrounded that kinds of utility blades, hocho, kiridasi everywhere in Japan? Buy one to spare your collections!

I suspect Mr Emerson, actually, ground his knives on the left so they would photograph better ?
The man is not only a great knife-maker....but, also, a superb marketer.
Never swallowed the "stronger blade and better cutter" line of sale B/S, myself.

Brian, do you mean the bevel are ground on the other side of the clip? It makes a very good photograph indeed!

Personally I love that design in spite/because of its uglyness I feel when seeing like, Lancia Delta S4.
