Looking at the head of a Fokin Hoe is looks like there is a 'handiness' like in a scythe. Is that the case?

I only ask because I am a lefty.

Thanks.

If you don't get an answer, maybe ask Yury in this thread: https://permies.com/t/55266/Amazing-ploskorez-replace-usual-spade. Yuri sells them, and there's also some nice videos in there, too.

Ha good one. But trust you don't want to be close to me if I am forced to use my hand. Especially with a sharp tool! 🙄

It looks handed to me too.
Maybe if we ask they will make a batch of lefties?
Signed,
Another person who is dangerous when forced to use sharp tools right handed.
p.s. I love handing my leftie scissors to righties.

Intermountain (Cascades and Coast range) oak savannah, 550 - 600 ft elevation. USDA zone 7a. Arid summers, soggy winters

 
permaculture is a more symbiotic relationship with nature so I can be even lazier. Read tiny ad:
