Left-handed kitchen gadgets worth owning

Lefty's Left Handed Spatula Turner

A 12-inch pakka-wood turner whose handle is shaped for the left hand, so flipping eggs and pancakes takes less wrist twisting. The listing is Amazon's Choice and has a strong rating. Best for: Lefties who cook on the stovetop most nights. Check price on Amazon →

Lefty's Left Handed Chef Knife

A general-purpose chef knife with the blade sharpened on the correct side for the left hand, so you can see the cut instead of fighting it. The listing text is a little inconsistent about blade length and edge, so check the details before you buy. Best for: A first "real" knife for a lefty cook, or a gift for a new apartment. Check price on Amazon →

Lefty's Left Handed Knives, Set of 4

Paring, steak, chef and bread knives in one left-handed set, per the listing. Ratings are mixed (some buyers report dull blades or rust), so hand-wash, dry right away and treat it as a budget set. Best for: Gift buyers and college move-ins who want everything in one box. Check price on Amazon →

Pulltap's Classic 500 Left-Handed Waiter's Corkscrew

Made in Spain, with a double-hinged lever, a hinged foil cutter and a Teflon-coated spiral that turns anti-clockwise for left-handed use. The step up from the basic corkscrew if you open bottles often. Best for: Wine lovers, bartenders and a serious host gift. Check price on Amazon →

Lefty's Left Handed Corkscrew with Bottle Opener

A stainless corkscrew whose screw turns counterclockwise for left-handed use, with a bottle opener built in. It is a new listing with no reviews yet, so it is a "try it" pick. Best for: Stocking stuffers and casual wine or beer nights. Check price on Amazon →

Left-Handed Folding Waiter 4-in-1 Corkscrew (Orange)

A compact folding tool with a knife, corkscrew, bottle gripper and bottle opener; the screw rotates counter-clockwise. A few reviewers say some parts, like the foil-cutter or thumb slot, are still right-handed in feel, so expect a corkscrew upgrade rather than a fully mirrored tool. Best for: Picnics, travel bags and the junk drawer. Check price on Amazon →

Left-Handed Manual Can Opener & Corkscrew Set (Orange)

A matched pair: a can opener you hold in the right hand while turning the knob with the left, plus a counter-clockwise corkscrew. If you want both tools and one order, this is the shortcut. Best for: Housewarming gifts and first apartments. Check price on Amazon →

Left-Handed Kitchen Scissors, Can Opener & Peeler Set (3-in-1)

A budget bundle of kitchen scissors, can opener and peeler, all listed for left-handed use. Most reviews are positive, but one buyer reported a can opener that arrived broken, so check yours right away. Best for: Anyone who wants to try lefty tools without spending much. Check price on Amazon →

How to choose

Start with the tool you use most. For most cooks that is a good knife or a spatula. Corkscrews and sets make easy gifts. If you want the can opener, scissors, measuring cup and paring knife, those live on our Left-Handed Kitchen Tools page, and the scissors have their own guide at Best Left-Handed Scissors.
