Are these right-hand only knives? I notice that the description mentions that these have a ""D"" shaped handle. However, I don't see any end views of the handle of the knife to see if the D-shaped handle is similar to Shun knives where the D is shaped for right handed people. I'm left handed, so I don't want to buy a knife made for a right handed person. And I've seen nowhere that a left-handed option is available. I'm wondering if the D shape means from top to bottom with symmetry left and right. Can someone please explain what D-shaped handle on these knives mean

The "D" is the shape of just the handle. The bend of the D fits in the crook of a right hand better - the rounded part hits the hand where the fingers meet the palm. My husband is left handed and still uses the knife no problem (and loves it), it's just meant to fit a rigth hand a little better.
