  • Our take on the Westcott 8" Lefty Scissors

    Westcott's 8-inch lefty scissors are built for left-handed cutting, with blades and handles arranged so the top blade sits on the left and the cut line stays visible. Stainless steel straight blades and soft-grip plastic handles cover everyday office, school and household tasks. They are the standard pick for lefties who are tired of squeezing right-handed scissors, and they compare well with dedicated lefty lines from Fiskars and Maped on price and simplicity. Reviewers treat them as a dependable basic rather than a precision tool.

    What people mention
    • HandednessPraisedLeft-handed owners say the reversed blades let them see the cut line and stop the pinching they get from right-handed scissors.
    • Cut qualityPraisedReviewers report clean, smooth cuts on paper and light materials.
    • BuildMixedThe stainless blades are fine, but the plastic handles feel basic compared with molded ergonomic designs.
    • DurabilityCriticisedSome owners say the blades dull after heavy use and cannot be sharpened or replaced easily.
    • Heavy materialsCriticisedUsers report it struggles with thick cardstock and fabric, so it is best kept for paper tasks.

    Questions and answers

    Are these really left-handed scissors?
    Yes. The blades and handles are reversed for left-hand use, so the top blade is on the left and the cut line stays visible.
    Can right-handed people use them?
    They can, but the grip and blade layout are made for left hands, so right-handers will find them awkward.
    Will they cut fabric or thick cardboard?
    They are meant for paper and light office tasks. Fabric and heavy cardstock are better handled by fabric shears or heavy-duty snips.
    What is the blade length?
    The blades and overall length are 8 inches, a standard adult size for desk and school use.
    Do they come with a cover?
    No. There is no sheath or cover in the box, so store them in a drawer or case.
    How do they compare with Fiskars lefty scissors?
    Both are left-handed designs. Westcott's pair is a simpler soft-grip model, while Fiskars offers more ergonomic handle options at a higher tier.
