Are these really left-handed, or just left-handed handles?

They are truly left-handed: the blade bevel is ground for a left hand, so the top blade sits on the correct side and the cut stays visible. That is what stops fabric from folding over as you cut.

What can I cut with them?

Fiskars lists denim, silk and multiple layers of fabric. They also handle paper, cardboard and general household cutting. They are not meant for thick leather, wire or sheet metal.

How do they compare with the original orange-handled Fiskars?

Same handle shape, same stainless steel and bent-handle design, but the blades are mirrored for left hands. If you are right-handed, the standard original is the one to get.

Do they work for right-handed users too?

They can cut, but the blade orientation is wrong for a right hand, so the cut line is harder to see and fabric tends to lift. Right-handed users should buy the standard model.

How do I keep them sharp?

Wipe the blades dry after use and avoid cutting paper or cardboard with the pair you use for fabric. A light drop of oil at the pivot keeps the action smooth.

One pair of 8-inch left-handed all-purpose scissors. No sheath or sharpener is included.

What reviewers say

Left-handed sewers and crafters rate these highly for finally getting a clean, natural cut, and many say the difference over right-handed scissors is immediate. Complaints are mostly about the shorter cutting edge and the plastic handle feel rather than the blades.
