Scissors only work if held in the right hand. If you want ones for use
in the left hand, they need to be constructed in a different way. If
you're left-handed, you might find such scissors better for detailed
work.

I am right-handed. I've just tested a new pair of WHS scissors in my
left hand, and they cut in the normal fashion (there is, of course, less
dexterity). Those scissors have symmetrical handles.

An ancient, and less sharp, pair, also cut properly when held left-
handedly; but a little care is needed initially.
