Opinions please! Thanks.
It doesn't really matter ... hold the knife and fork however you want.

A right-handed European, may be even a left-handed, I don't know, would have the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand.
On mainland Europe you don't cut potatoes with a knife .. however, I do!
