Just thought I'd share this beauty. Someone was clearly after my own heart because it fits us lefties perfectly...not sure that was the intention but I'm just going to let myself believe it anyway. This pattern or any of the characteristics look familiar to anyone? I don't know much about it.

When putting an antler handle on a stick tang I usually put the curve to the right as you're holding the knife to cut with it.
The curve then sets in the palm of the user, if they are right-handed. Since the vast majority of people are right-handed that is the way I set the knives up unless I know the user is left-handed.
I know it's difficult for lefties to get scissors that fit their hands well. We used to order left-handed scissors for customers in the cutlery store.
I'm glad you found a knife that fits your hand so well!
