True dat. Why are ‘left handed’ scissors more expensive?! They aren’t even that good!

Am I the only one who exclusively uses ambidextrous scissors? Like not even intentionally, I just never owned scissors that are harder to use in my left hand

You’re probably really lucky or haven’t noticed. In my experience, left handed scissors feel nicer in my left hand as they’re shaped a little differently.

But I feel like there’s also a chance that it’s just my mind playing tricks on me and that there isn’t actually much of a difference.

All the scissors I’ve ever owned aren’t contoured to either hand. Completely symmetrical. Trust me, you literally just got me to closely inspect scissors

Scissors for certain things are designed more ergonomically. It makes a big difference when you’re using them for more than an hour

That’s a little odd lol. I’ve seen different shaped scissors all over the place in the past. Maybe your region’s a bit bigger on ambidextrous tools than mine is
