Hawk Scarbrough Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I'm a lefty (wrong handed, south paw.....etc.) I would like to find some good leather shears. Right handers, please don't tell me they are ambidextrous, they ain't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zuludog Report post Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Google 'left handed shop' and there are several references. In particular there are https://www.leftyslefthanded.com in San Francisco and Florida, but they do mail order https://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk They have an American supplier Although they might be a bit like overkill, you could consider aviation snips and tin snips, they look as though they could be ambidextrous Edited October 27, 2015 by zuludog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk Scarbrough Report post Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks Guys I will research all of your suggestions. Maybe I can find other lefthanded items as well. Why the grin Bill? Many people would be surprised at how many everyday things you use are actually right handed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simontuntelder Report post Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) There are two makers of scissors left in the UK (Sheffield) and I can't remember the name of the companies right now, but a quick google search should do the trick. But I'm fairly certain that one the companies make left handed leather shears. Good luck Edited October 28, 2015 by simontuntelder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk Scarbrough Report post Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks, I will check them out. I am U.S.A. by the way. The main trouble with many places I look at is that the shears are called "ambidextrous", but are not. When a lefty uses sissors or shears, the cutting edge must be on the right side so that he can see where to cut better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
