Does which side the bevel is on really matter? If it does, does it depend on the dominant hand of the person?
 
well Ill answer this post since nobody has :)

Kiridashi's don't necessarily have to be chisel ground (one side only). That being said, yes the bevel on either side does effect the way it cuts.

Right side ground bevels suite a right handed person better and visa versa.

it has to do with what is being cut as well. A lot of factors play in....

Im assuming your planning on making a kiridashi?
