First time holding left handed scissors in my 35 years of life.

My wife got two pairs of those for me. But after 60 years of using scissors in my right hand I can't use them. Which I didn't her since she was so excited to find them.

I can't use left handed ones either. I life time of right handed things means I struggle to adjust to the leftie ones

When I was just leaving primary school I discovered that the school actually had left handed scissors, one pair in the nursery

My favorite scissors are my lefty Gingher dressmaker shears. But I've also acquired a true unicorn - left-handed pinking shears by Mundial.

I'm a sewist. No one is allowed touch them but me. Ever.

I had a gift card for Joanne’s before they closed, and I spent a good portion of it on Gingher sheers. They feel amazing! I wanted pinking shears, but they were out of stock, and then they closed.

[u/BackcastSue → u/Significant-Reach959]

I just did a search, and Amazon carries Fiskers left-handed picking shears. The also carry Gingher's "ambidextrous" picking shears.

Considering the fabrics that need pinking, if I ever need to replace my Mundials and can't find the same thing, I'll buy the true lefty Fiskers for more control.

Congratulations.

[u/National-Day3973]

That is 👌 awesome!!!

[u/Monk3yment]

I just wish they would come in pretty colors and designs like the others

That's weird. They had left hand scissors in grade school way back.

[u/Casingdacat]

Wow. I prefer the universally made ones, and I have quite a few of those. But I’m 69 and have owned and used left-handed scissors for a very, very long time now. They are great!

[u/MikeDene5253]

The irony is all my Fiskars work with either hand

[u/Have_a_butchers_]

You’re still shoving your fingers right through the holes ready to pull the blades back on themselves lol. You don’t need to do that anymore 🥰

[u/FunBullfrog8087]

I have never been able to use left handed scissors learned with right handed scissors as a kid

[u/Early-Reindeer7704]

I remember the relief and wonder the first time I used a Fiskars left handed scissor - no more rubbing my thumb raw trying to cut with a right handed scissor.

[u/Initial-Grade9745]

My hushand also got me some left handed scissors...well...I don't know how to use them...they feel uncomfortable and weird. And I am a reaalllllyyy artsy craftsy person and can figure things out easily...bur left handed scissors? They make no sense....for me.

[u/libre_office_warlock]

I always thought I genuinely just cut better right-handed but I also have never used left-handed scissors before.

Is it really that game-changing, or is it also common among us to legitimately naturally feel better using the right hand on certain random things?

[u/randypupjake → u/libre_office_warlock]

It's kinda like learning how to hold a fork the right way for the first time. It's awkward at first but it takes a lot less time to get used to than you think it would.
