Left Or Right Handed Stone Tool's

Ok all you tool guy's out there, I like stone tool's and have quite a few my question is do you think the early indian's made left and right handed tools or tools that could be used in either hand ? Most tools seem to fit better in the right hand than in my left hand. Ok that's the question now let's have some discussion on it.

I would say most tools were right handed. As far as tools that I have found, all feel better in my right hand. Heck, nothing feels good in my left hand unless I have the matching one in my right hand! (o) (o) :laughing9:

Yup, Most of mine are better suited for the right hand. For giggles I did a count while arranging displays and storage , but I forgot where I put it. I want to say it was like 10 to one right over left. Some of the larger choppers can go either way due to the twist from a long cobble. My biggest one fits well in both hands. Good subject for sure Thanks Lone Star
