Scissor blades, paper, and force don't care which side is up. Anything other than line of sight is 100% handle ergonomics, and scissors aren't required to have wrong-side-incompatible handles.

- tuhriel 4y agoIf you open and close scissors the main force is up/down but based on the structure of the hand you also apply a sideways force which twists the blades left/right. Depending if the top blade (where your thumb goes in) this pushes the blades closer together, or a bit apart. And if the hinge has to much play, this is enough that the paper gets twisted between the scissors.
