Fork in left hand, knife in the right. I used to, if I was just using a fork, use it in my right hand, but have since trained myself to use it in the left. The boy is right handed, and holds the fork in his right hand, knife in his left (but I think he was taught that way by his mum). The Man is left handed, but holds the same as me, because 'that's how you are supposed to hold them'.
