Once again I have no idea if this has existed as another post but... how do you hold your knife and fork? (Specifically which hand holds the thingy)

For example I'm right handed and hold my fork in my right hand, but the rest of my family holds their forks in their left hand. Knifes are the other hand ofc (I don't use my forknife often ^-^

So how about you?
 
I am right handed and I hold the fork using my left then knife using my right hand as I could probably use some force when holding it in my most comfortable hand? lol that's also where I hold the spoon.

The normal way for a right handed person.

Knife with the right hand, and fork with the left.

I'm right handed and hold my fork goes in my right hand, knife in left. The only weird thing about me is that I use two different grips between my left and right hands; I hold the fork in my right hand how I would hold my pen, but I hold my knife with two fingers on top. It just feels more comfortable that way lol.
 
I was worried I was the only one that held them differently, since everyone I know hold the fork in their left. I'm happy to know theres so many people that actually hold it differently too ^-^

To be honest, I just shove my face in the plate. :D
 
Ima right handed, and I hold my knife in my right because it's easier to use ;w;
 
I chose the wrong poll option on accident, but I?m left-handed and hold my knife in my right hand and fork in my left.

Have to say staring at those poll options gets really confusing, xD

Oh, yeah they are really similar looking now that I read them through again ^-^

I maybe could of made them look more unique.
 
right handed. fork goes in the right, knife in the left.

it just feels right to me


about the fork knife though, i use one pretty much every day. if i don't then i end up scraping food onto the fork with my fingers and i don't like to get my hands dirty unless im eating doritos or sth

im right-handed and i hold my knife with my right and my fork with my left. your dominant hand will have more control over the knife which is important whereas you just need to stab with your non-dominant.
 
My right hand goes holds the knife and my left hand holds the fork, but for real sometimes I do the opposite side.
 
To the right handed people who eat with a fork in their right hand (like moi ^-^ ), do your family members or friends who are right handed do the same or are you the odd one out amongst your pairs like I am :(

I hold my fork with my left hand and my knife with my right hand... but I’m also left-handed.

I find it so interesting that according to the poll, most right-handed people hold their knife in their dominant hand, while most left-handed people hold their knife in their non-dominant hand. Byproduct of growing up in a right-handed world, perhaps?
 
i hold my fork in my left hand and my knife in my right hand cos i grew up with a table manners freak
