Kai is a Japanese cutlery maker from Seki with over a century of blade history, distributed in the States through Kai Scissors in Puyallup, Washington. The important detail is spelled out on its own product pages: the N5210L is a true left-handed scissor with reversed blades, while the N5220L has left-handed handles and right-handed blades, meant for lefties who learned to cut with ordinary scissors. The 7250L adds a 10-inch professional left-handed shear. Blades are high-carbon steel, hollow ground, and can be resharpened.
Best suited to people who cut a lot: dressmakers, quilters, anyone who notices a smooth glide. Everyday household duty is well within its powers, though paying 30 dollars and up for opening parcels is generous. Expect to order online or through sewing dealers, and read the model code carefully before checkout, because the two lefty variants behave nothing alike.
