I'm right handed and I swap my cutlery over several times in a typical meal. It's because I'm terribly uncouth so when I'm cutting things up I like the knife in my right hand, but when I'm picking things up and the knife is merely herding food toward the fork, I like to hold the fork in my right hand. At formal dinners I make a conscious effort to keep my knife in my right hand and use the back of my fork.

I seem to remember this back-of-fork thing as being one of those myths, i.e. that people trying to be posh do it more than those that really are. (Whatever that really means anyway).

Hooray! I'm not the only one! In fact, I'm so right-handed that I often just use the fork (I remember my Spanish teacher telling us that she did much the same... and the locals thought she must have injured her left hand, because she wasn't using it!) If anyone ever queries my use of orc irons, I tend to fall back on the axiom: "them as has the most cutlery throw the most bread rolls"!
