Handedness: Are these scissors for right-handed or left-handed users?

right handed. Could possibly use left handed but the holes are chamfered. Mine are over 20 years young. As sharp and gorgeous as the day I bought them. I do admit I paid over $90 for mine ( came with a plastic blade cover lol) I was shocked at the price here.

I believe so. Although I am a right handed person, I do not see any problems using the knives either by right or left hands.

I am right handed, but I did try it just to see if I could open a can with my left hand and it seemed to work ok. I hope this is helpful to you.

my first response was yes, but I'm not left handed. Ask the maker on their web site.

Yes. The handles are ambidextrous. They are not shaped in a right handed specific shape.

You can use either hand. It does not matter you can select left or right handed

Absolutely! I am left-handed and they work perfectly. They have made it very easy to trim my Maltese's hair around her eyes and paws. I do really like these:)

I'm not sure how they would be for a lefty, my pair are great, not dull, I've split my finger twice with mine so sharp!

While the finger holds are the same held either way, I do not think that you would find it satisfactory. The entire purpose of these is the large blade which protects you from cutting too much. Reversed you lose that protection because the larger blade would end up on the bottom. So I would not get these for a leftie. I found their contact info and included it below. Hope you can locate left-handed ones because they are just the ticket for cutting out tricky appliques and other close trimming work. The larger blade really does protect well.

Yes, I chose the LEFT handed set and it is true to description. My son is left handed and they are comfortable and work great. They are better quality than I expected and my husband says the balance is good. =D

Yes, I bought them for my wife who is left handed. She loves them, says they are the best kitchen shears she has ever used.

I'm a rightie, but I experimented on a piece of paper --- the scissors appeared to cut the paper easily with either hand. I suggest, though, that you contact the company and ask them your question. Their customer service is supurb.

I am left handed and these scissors definitely did not work for me. The blades are wrong and you can not see what you are cutting. Some reviewers on this site say that they are left handed but I even contacted Fiskars, sent them back, because they said they would send me true left handed scissors and instead the customer service guy sent the ones I sent back to me and apologized saying they have continued to get complaints about them. It seems the handles fit your left hand but the blades are wrong, still machined for a right handed person.

They do both cut in either hand, but if you use the right handed version in your left hand or vice versa, it can be a bit annoying since you can't see what you are cutting well (the body of the cutter covers it).

I am left handed and use these to grade seam allowances. Gingher quality makes them precise cutting tools for grading seams. I used them upside down. Since I am only cutting a single layer there is no thumb pain as in using right handed scissors. I don't think that Gingher makes a left handed pair or I have never seen one.

Yes, I believe the way this tool is designed would be suitable for a left-handed person. I highly recommend it. Before I purchased this item, it was a real struggle to get the coconut meat out of the shell. It's a lifesaver!!

It would seem to me that they are for a right handed person. I would put that question for a definite answer, to the Fiskars company.
