Description
 
Fiskars Classic Scissors with molded handles for lefties. High quality 8.5" bent scissors for all your craft needs - glide smoothly on flat surfaces. Blades are 3.75"

These scissors have the quality you expect from the world renowned Finnish scissors manufacturer. They are lightweight, easy to handle, and a favorite of our employees.

Fiskar's is one of the oldest companies in the world. It began as an ironworks in the small village of Fiskars, Finland, in 1649. Yet, in 1992 all production had stopped in in the beautiful, historic town, and it was economically dead. Fiskars sought out artisans, designers, and artists and invited them to live and work in the village. This transformed the town into a much acclaimed center for Finnish art and design, and it is now a popular tourist destination.

The company's trademark orange color came about by accident. When their iconic scissors were designed in 1967, the prototype was made from resin left over from making an orange juicer. Fortunately, there was a vote, and orange defeated black by 9 to 7.
Features
  • What makes these scissors left-handed?
  • All of our scissors and shears are TRUE left-handed, that is, they have the blades reversed so you can see what you are cutting, not just simply a reversal of the finger grips. The left blade is always on top. This means that the cutting action of the left hand pushes the blades together to give a smooth cut the whole length of the blades and also that a left-hander has a clear view of the cutting line.
  • When a left-hander uses right-handed scissors, they have to push the thumb and index finger together in an unnatural way to make the scissors cut, causing marks on the hand and eventually callouses. Also, they have to look over the top blade, which obscures the cutting line. With truly left-handed scissors your natural cutting action matches that of the scissors. Just hold the scissors straight and naturally and do not try to twist the blades. After a short time, you will be completely comfortable with your new scissors and wonder how you put up with misusing right-handed scissors for so long!

Reviewer: frances from Port Austin Mi., MI United States  
At your store in San Francisco I bought a sketchbook and ruler for my grandson. He is hard to buy for so I was excited to shop in your store.  He loved both items.

After ordering a pair of (left-handed) scissors, they were delivered on time. They were exactly what I was looking for, and were pressed into service to complete satisfaction!!!!!!!!!! No more injury to my hands.
