I'm right handed (probably forced in my early childhood), but I find I can do most things with either hand...
I would always write with my right hand, but change the pen to the left to rule a line... I eat with my right hand, which means the knife is in my left...
When I played Tennis I would use whichever hand were closest to the ball, but always serve with my right hand.
Opening jars I use my left (it's stronger)
I think most people with a very dominant right/left hand are able to use the other one to some extent -- unless it's not there, of course... When you wash/dry yourself you use both hands, driving - both hands, typing - both hands etc etc.
Most people have some dexterity in their non-dominant hand.
