Westcott, a brand of Acme United, has been selling scissors for over a century and is the pair most Americans first met at a school desk. Its Lefty line is aimed squarely at daily cutting: the 16935 heavy-duty 8-inch straight model uses CarboTitanium Bonded blades, where the coating is molecularly bonded so the steel resists scratches and adhesive residue, and the 13178 kids scissors give a 5-inch left-handed pair with pointed tips. The brand store ships free over 49 dollars across the continental US, and service runs through 1-800-835-2263.
Fits schools, offices and anyone buying in bulk, since Westcott lefties are cheap enough to keep several around. Handles are moulded for a left grip and sit low on hand fatigue. Purists doing fabric work will still prefer forged shears, and the coated blades cannot be resharpened once dulled, which for a few dollars matters less than usual.
