The Spyderedge: Left Handed?

Being left handed, I have noticed with some satisfaction that the serrations on my fully-serrated Endura 4 are on the left-hand side of the blade. This means that when I whittle or cut with a standard forward grip the edge bevel will be oriented to the work piece like that of a chisel or gouge. This works slick, but I'm a southpaw.

Not all serrations work this way though. The scallops on the serrated blade of my Charge Ti Leatherman are on the right side and while this does not present me with any problems it does appear to favor a right-handed person.

Maybe I am just imagining a left-handed benefit and I'm actually at a disadvantage with the Spyderedge. On the other hand, I have never figured out how right-handed cowboys could love their Colt revolvers with the loading gates on the right-hand side. To lefties, these are ideal.
 
I've noticed that the serrations on all of the knives (spyderco and non) I've had are on the left side. No idea why but I appreciate it.
As for the colt revolvers, the loading gates are on the right side because they would switch their gun to the left hand (which was also holding the reins) while reloading.
