  • Maybe you live in a world where razor-sharp high-quality scissors are the norm, but every pair of right-handed scissors or “ambidextrous” scissors I have ever used have always torn gift wrapping paper until I got a $14 pair of left-handed scissors.

    It’s not just the cutting blade, it’s also the angle at which you hold it, and how your body twists and contorts when you grip and squeeze.

    Maybe my ergonomics are different from yours. That might be an issue as well, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and not downvote you or anything, but in my personal experience, that has always been the case until I got the scissors that were made for me.


  • I got left-handed scissors for the first time about a year ago, and holy shit, the urge to cut everything.

    The fact that scissors don’t hurt my hand and make it cramp for some stupid reason.

    The fact that I can just glide through gift-wrap like it was paper instead of something that tears and shatters and shreds and looks ugly no matter how hard I work…

    If you’re left-handed and you think left-handed scissors are a meme, go and spend the $14 that it costs for a pair of left-handed scissors and report back and tell me that that shit is not life-changing.

    Left-handed scissors will make a left-handed person feel like they have been being betrayed and deceived and lied to their entire fucking life.
