Is this good for left handers?

I didn't know that you could buy left or right-handed knives.

Is this suited for left handers?

Since the knife edge has a double bevel (double edge), with a 15 degree angle on each side, it can be used by both right and left handed users.

How easy is this knife to sharpen? And how often should it be sharpened if used daily?

Hi there, We advise the following maintenance guidelines: 1. Hone the blade with a honing rode once every 3-4 days (honing should take no longer than 10-20 seconds) 2. Sharpen the knife with a 1000 grit whetstone once every 3-6 months.
