Left-handed scissors are designed for left-handed people who make up 7-10% of the population. Using right-handed scissors can cause calluses and poor quality cutting. Left-handed products, including scissors, can be found at specialized stores and online. Left-handedness is hereditary and has not always been accepted. Specialized left-handed products are becoming more popular.
Left-handed scissors are scissors designed for optimal use by left-handed people. Left hand dominance occurs naturally and is found in seven to ten percent of the population. Left-handed or left-handed people write, eat, play sports while driving with their left side.
In order to use certain tools more effectively, they are modified for left-handed people. Lefty scissors are designed to have the cutting blade up when held in the left hand. This modification makes it much easier for a left-handed person to use scissors with precision and skill. Standard scissors are designed for right-handed use, with the cutting blade up while being held in the right hand.
Repeated use of right-handed scissors by a left-handed person can cause calluses, tender skin, and poor quality cutting. Left-handed scissors can cost slightly more than right-handed scissors and can usually be purchased at an office supply store. If they cannot be found, search the Internet for a specialized left-handed store. This type of shop offers a wide variety of products specifically designed for the left-handed person. Available product types include manual can openers, baseball gloves, sports equipment, spiral bound notebooks, and more.
Left-handed history is not a happy one. While a certain percentage of the human population has always been left-handed, it has not generally been well accepted. At one point, it was not uncommon for teachers to tie the left hand down to force the student to learn to write with their right hand. This was still a common practice in both North America and Europe in the early 1970s.
The determination of which hand is dominant is hereditary and is not something that can be changed. Preference for the left or right hand can be identified by looking at which thumb a child prefers to suck on. This can change over time, but is generally accepted as a good indicator of preference.
You can get a complete set of left-handed scissors, garden shears, specialty knives, and other tools designed for left-handed use. In addition to these more typical items, specialized products such as a modified keyboard, mouse, clock, and tape measure are becoming more popular. Although left-handed customers are a minority, the growth of the Internet and expanding access to global markets has greatly increased the ability of specialty stores to reach larger numbers of customers and results in greater innovation and product creation.
