Are you a lefty? I'm a lefty scissors user as well so I've gotten used to right hand scissors (you just push the bottom blade to the right as you cut). That may not be the case for most right handed folks since it "just works" most of the time.
- OJFord 4y agoNo, right-handed, but left-handed were readily (read: overly) available at school so I recall trying them thinking surely it's just a comfort thing at most how could it possibly make a difference, and the paper or whatever just flopping up parallel to the blades instead of being cut.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoThat happens the other way round too, hence the workaround GP suggested. It's a little uncomfortable because you naturally push the other way while cutting, but you can get used to it. When you use left handed scissors with your right hand, you apply some force to the blades that moves them slightly apart, while with right-handed ones, you force them together tightly. You need to actively work against that.
- tomcam 4y agoI just gave up & learned scissors, guitar, fencing, etc right-handed. Only things I do as a lefty are writing and baseball.
