when i was in school, there was never any left-handed sciossors, so i was forced to use right-handed ones. anyway, i didn't think there was that much difference -- but now looking back i realize that i was always uncomfortable (hand strains), and i couldn't get them to work sometimes if they were "loose" like everyone else could. i thought i was just bad at cutting. that wasn't the case though...

I just bought my first pair of left handed scissors from Wal-Mart. They are Fiskars. I am so happy! I went 45 years using right handed scissors. Major ouch. My new scissors are " sheer heaven", lol! Get it? Now what else left handed can I find? Oh yeah I am looking at a left handed guitar. Don't you just HATE it when you are looking fir a left handed guitar and someone says you should learn right handed because you have more choices? Ah Duh bro. I am left handed and that is how my brain works.

I wonder how I've put up with misusing right-handed scissors for so long too!

Now I realize why I could never cut fabrics and tougher materials....and I always felt ashamed that I don't even know how to use a pair scissors... got to go get some left handed scissors now.

everytime we do an activity that requires cutting im always the last to finish because the scissors don't cut sometimes..

when i was a child i used scissors that was supose to be both left-handed and right-handed but it still looked ugly. and i was upset because even the boys in my class could do it great but i couldn't :( but now 10 years later someone told me that it was the blades that did it!
