I use forks and knives wrong handed. Despite the fact that I'm mostly right handed, I always have to use the fork with my right hand and the knife with my left. It feels completely wrong to do it any other way. This got me funny looks the few times I've been to a proper restaurant, because I had to reverse the cutlery.

You are supposed to use your fork in your left hand (I too am right handed)? IS THAT WHY I CAN'T USE A KNIGHT AND FORK?

Apparently you're supposed to keep the knife in your dominant hand. So for a right handed person, the knife's in your right hand and the fork's in your left. I have never been able to do it that way, but apparently this is the way it works, yes.

I have to try that. I have always done it the other way.

In the US, you hold the knife in your dominant hand, the fork in your non-dominant hand, when cutting your meat; after you have cut a piece, you put down the knife, switch the fork into your dominant hand, spear the piece of meat you just cut, and carry it to your mouth.

In Europe, you don't switch the fork into your dominant hand--you use your non-dominant hand, and you don't turn the fork over either.

I'm from the US and I have NEVER switched the knife and fork like that.

That's because you're not supposed to. Switching the knife and fork is only what you do if you're incapable of operating a utensil with your non-dominant hand.

No, switching the fork to your dominant hand (you put the knife down) is a refinement that slows down the pace of eating. Keeping the knife and fork in the same hands facilitates rapid gobbling.

Uh, I think that's just for cutting meat. I'm right handed and me and my right handed family/friends eat with the fork in their right hand and switch the fork to the left hand for cutting-knife in the right hand, then switch back to eat. I don't hold onto my knife for the entire meal-only pick it up when using it.

I am Canadian...maybe it's different up here?

The rule is different depending on what country you're in.
