Are You Left-Handed or Right-Handed?

Every now and then during lunch, we cooked together at the office. One time, while I was chopping some spices, a colleague suddenly said "I didn't know you were a left-handed."
I smiled and replied, "No, I'm not."
He pointed at my hand clearly confused.
So I joked, I can multitask. But there was some truth to it.
I used my right hand for writing, eating and holding things but I often use my left hand for chopping, slicing and doing heavier tasks except for writing.
So I asked, Why? Don't you ever use your left hand for certain things because it feels more comfortable?
He said, No.
Thats surprise me because mostly people I know can use both hands depending on the situation.
I'm curious about you because since childhood we often label as right-handed or left-handed.
Are you strictly a left-handed or a right-handed? or which hand is more dominant?

I’m right handed. Back in the day people thought left handed people were apt to be criminals. When I heard that as a child, I wondered if it were true because I had a terrible awful uncle I thought was one step from a life of crime. Of course, that’s an old wives tale, but my uncle made me wonder!

I'm right-handed but can use either hand to write with.
That's a funny story. I practiced writing with my left hand in school because writing with my left was crap and I wanted to use either hand for some tasks.

I’m right-handed, so that’s my dominant hand for most things. But I can write with my left, though my handwriting still looks better when I use my right hand.
