Hi Bill, Practicality of use always means a bevel on the right hand side of a blade when facing away from oneself equals right handed use, left hand side equals left hand use. Ive seen it on some old custom blades from skandanavia & also on mandau & a couple of other unusual ethnographic blades rumured at the time to be from to be from Assam.

Theres nothing as sharp as a one sided bevel, There more easily damaged though!
