Mundial has forged cutting tools since 1896, starting as the Brazilian Eberle works and now selling through Mundial USA. Its left-handed pieces come from the trade side of the catalogue rather than the gift aisle: the BP661LH is an 8.5-inch true left-handed pair with a knife edge and black enamel handles, sold through sewing and embroidery dealers for around 16 dollars. Blades are hot forged, the pivot screw is adjustable, and the whole thing is built to be reground rather than binned, which is why alteration shops keep them for years.
Good value for a lefty who cuts fabric, backing or thick paper and wants weight in the hand. Not the pair for a child or for anyone expecting cushioned grips: enamel over steel is plain and cool to the touch. Stock lives with dealers more than with big-box stores, so availability wobbles, and the left-handed choice is limited to a couple of codes.
