Lefties unite, don't buy: Misconstructed
Unfortunately, these scissors are badly engineered, seems like they have used the metal parts from right-handed scissors and added the plastic handles for lefties. The photo shows the old, awesome pair from the same brand, and the new ones that are impossible to use. Impossible to make a straight cut. Because the cutting edges are flipped opposite from what they should be, they are impossible to control when you cut something close to something else, like a short nail. I couldn't understand why I couldn't use them until I compared with the old pair I had. They have tried to make an unforgivable shortcut here, without understanding that this makes the scissors useless for their target users. It looks insignificant, but believe me it makes a big difference. Would not recommend!
