If I read this correctly, you have your fork in your right hand if you eat with knife and fork? And you have your fork your left hand if you only have a fork?
When I eat with knife and fork, the knife is in the right hand and the fork in the left (a well-spread table has the knife on the right hand side of the plate...). When I put the knife away, the fork goes to the right hand.
This is logical, as I am more dexterous with my right side. And if you eat with knife and fork (which I usually do), you only need to bring your fork to your mouth and you do the precision work with the knife (either cutting something, or shoveling some food on the fork). So, it would be logical you prefer to hold your fork in your right hand and your knife when you're holding that.
