Product description
Scissors that are also comfortable for left-handers: symmetrical handles for both hands
Professional scissors with stainless steel blades and symmetrical plastic handles in a blue-black shade. Many tailor's shears are built with an asymmetric handle that is comfortable only for the right hand. Here both finger holes are the same size, so the scissors are comfortable for both right-handers and left-handers.
A steady central screw holds the blades for continuous work. The scissors suit fabric, paper and other materials, and are a good choice for a studio or a class where several people work with the same scissors.

Tips for left-handers cutting fabric
See the cutting line: In the left hand, hold the scissors so the upper blade doesn't hide the marking
Walk around the table: Instead of turning the fabric, move around it
The lower blade on the table: That way the line stays straight in the left hand too
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Asymmetric scissors in the left hand: The blades push apart and the fabric gets stuck between them instead of being cut
Cutting thick cardboard: Dulls the blade
Leaving them open: The tip may get damaged
Symmetrical handles or left-handed scissors: what's the difference
When looking for scissors for left-handers, it is important to distinguish between two different things:
Symmetrical handles: Both finger holes are the same size and shape, so the grip is comfortable in both hands. This is the case in this model
Left-handed scissors: The order of the blades is reversed: the left blade is on top. That way in the left hand the blades press toward each other and the cutting line stays visible
What this means in practice: For mixed use at home, in a class or in an office, symmetrical handles solve the grip problem. For precise, extended cutting in the left hand, a dedicated left-handed model is better
That is why this model is especially suited to places where several people use the same scissors, right-handed and left-handed.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Are the scissors suitable for left-handed users?
The handles are symmetrical, so the grip is comfortable in the left hand too. The blade order is regular, so for precise, extended cutting with the left hand, a dedicated left-handed model is better.
What are the blades made of?
Stainless steel. The handles are plastic in a blue-black shade.
What are the scissors suitable for?
For cutting fabric, paper and other materials in sewing and crafts.
What is the difference between symmetrical handles and left-handed scissors?
Symmetrical handles solve grip comfort. In left-handed scissors, the order of the blades is also reversed, so that the blades press together in the left hand and the cutting line stays visible.
Are they suitable for a sewing class?
Yes. One pair suits all students, right-handed and left-handed.
What is the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical handles?
In an asymmetrical handle, the thumb hole is small and the finger hole is large and angled, so it is fitted to one hand. In symmetrical handles, both holes are the same size, and the scissors are comfortable in both hands.
Will a left-handed user see the cutting line?
In scissors with the regular blade order, the top blade hides part of the line when cutting with the left hand. For long cuts along a line, it is worth marking the line clearly or choosing dedicated left-handed scissors.
Which materials can be cut with the scissors?
Fabrics, paper and other materials in sewing and craft work. For hard materials such as corrugated cardboard or thick plastic, a dedicated tool is better.
How do you care for the scissors over time?
Wipe after use, occasionally add a drop of oil to the central screw, and store in a dry place with the scissors closed.
Can I order a quantity for a class or a workshop?
Yes. Scissors that suit both hands are especially convenient in a class where everyone uses the same equipment, and for bulk orders you can contact us.
