Purchasing a left handed scissors is not a "luxury" item if you are left handed. Just buy it for the love of Pete! I'm not left handed, but my partner is and I threw this on an order that I was placing for some other things that I can always find on Amazon that aren't easy to get without a lot of different stops. When the box came and I gave him the scissors, he was literally moved. I was surprised to find out that his entire life, he has never owned a left handed scissors until now.  He immediately started cutting things like a child and was amazed that he could cut a straight line and also said "WOW, It's SO comfortable!"  The whole thing was funny and sad. It's 12.00 people, buy the scissors. Who knows what joy you will bring to the lefty in your life?
