Fiskars takes its name from a Finnish ironworks dating to 1649, and its orange-handled scissors have been a household default since 1967. The left-handed range is honest: the All-Purpose Left-Handed 8-inch pair (item 194500-1001) has genuinely reversed blades, so a lefty sees the cut line instead of guessing. Blades are precision ground to cut to the tip, and there are variants by budget: plain stainless, SoftGrip, a titanium-coated 8-inch model. Many craft tools carry a lifetime warranty; US support answers on 1-866-348-5661.
Sensible choice for anyone who wants a lefty pair off a normal shelf: Blick, Michaels, Walmart and Amazon all stock it, usually in the mid-teens. Weaker if you need blunt-tip sizes for a small child or a serrated fabric shear, since the left-handed catalogue is far shorter than the right-handed one. When the edge finally goes, these get replaced, not reground.
