Should a Leatherman can opener be used clockwise or counter-clockwise?

It seems like a silly question. My 'original' Boy Scout knife (1970's Camillus) can opener has a straight (not bent) small bottom tooth, but on the Leatherman Wave & Charge the small tooth is bend to the side.

I tend to open cans clockwise (can on the left side of the blade), but when I look at the LM the small lower tooth is bent to one side and it looks like it might work better going counter-clockwise (can on the right side of the blade).

I can open a can clockwise fairly well, but wonder if the tooth was designed to be used counter-clockwise. I tried doing it counter-clickwise, but it felt so clumsy I went back to doing it clockwise.
