Finally … a true left-handed scissor for kids!!!,
As a right-handed person, I got fooled into believing that ambidextrous scissors for kids were the same as scissors for left-handed kids. WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! My 6 year old has been cutting with ambidextrous scissors ever since she started cutting … and I believed she cut well – straight lines, good circles, etc. However, when she brought to my attention the other day that she had some “good” scissors and some “bad” scissors – I had to find out what the difference was. So, I did some research only to find even though I thought I had been doing the right thing by getting ambidextrous scissors – it only meant the handle was a shape that either right or left handed people could use – it didn’t mean it cut for a leftie. The proof is in the scissors. Scissors truly intended for left handed people will have the left blade raise up when you open them – where as ambidextrous scissors (like scissors for right-handed people) will have the right blade raise up. For a leftie – this causes the paper to almost bend before they can cut it. These are truly as they are advertised. I gave them to my daughter and instantaneoulsy and surprisingly – she started to cut even better and straighter. Would definitely recommend these for a leftie – it is definitely worth the price!

|Great Product – Outrageous Price,
This is a great product for left handed children. They are true left handed scissors with the blades in the proper orientation. However, DON’T BUY THEM HERE!! $9.15 for a pair is outrageous. On the Fiskars site, they are only $5.45 a pair and at Office Supply Mart Online, they are only $3.39 a pair. Curiously, just one month ago, here on Amazon, they were only $3.99 a pair. I asked Amazon to explain the price difference, but got a canned answer back about how their prices fluctuate. DO buy these scissors for your child, but don’t pay this price.

|Smooth cutting,
My son is left handed and as I watched him struggle to cut out his homework neatly, I realized it was much harder for him than it had to be. We ordered these scissors, much to his excitement, and now he cuts far more smoothly and feels better about his homework. Simple things can make all the difference!
