- 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.
