Is the nakiri knife made for both left handed and right handed people?

I'm sorry but I'm right handed so I don't know if it's as useful for left handers.

Can this knife be used by left-handers?

I am not left handed so cannot fully appreciate those issues. The knife is symmetrical, so would not appear to made with any bias towards a right hand user.

For the Keemake Nakiri: What is the width of the blade and thickness of the blade (thickness measured at spine)?

1/8 inch. This is my favorite kitchen knife without question. I have the highest quality knives in my kitchen and I have a few Japanese style knives but needed just the right veggie knife and this met all requirements. Quality and most importantly it fits my hand perfectly for all my needs. Just a great knife.
