How do you use a butter knife?

Bro? We used to eat butter sandwiches. Being poor means some interesting cuisine. We also, for example, used to eat cheese sandwiches which were made with past expiration white bread (sold at a discount retailer) and Reagan cheese (free from the gov't).
As tux indicates, it varies. It also depends on the sandwich. From my own observations:
For plain toast, people would use butter.
For grilled cheese sandwiches, butter goes on before you grill it. (I have seen Jelly put on top after cooking, but that's uncommon)
For peanut butter sandwiches, I've seen with/without butter.
For peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, no butter generally.
For deli meat (ex ham) and cheese, mayonaise is very common, butter almost never.
For a hamburger, mayo is common, butter only if the bun is grilled (for lightly toasting)
For a sub (subway, quiznos, Jimmy Johns) no butter in sight.

The blade.
I honestly have never seen a 'right-handed' butter knife, so I don' really know what you are referring to.
dull side/edge comes to me, sort of a spread, lift, spread, repeat, sharp edge is always away from me
then how can we have grilled cheese sandwiches.

Mostly true. Butter is for bread by itself, or on the outside of a grilled-cheese sandwich. But inside a sandwich with other ingredients? Ick. Too greasy/fatty for me. But then again, fluffernutters are popular here, so what do I know?
As to table knives ... curved side down. I've never figured out how to properly use that "butter" butter knife.
I don't know what that phraseology translates to in term of real world objects (two Welsh Rarebits on top of each other?) but my experience in the US of you guys drenching everything in several tons of plastic melted glowing cheese-substance suggests I'd want to steer clear.
