Question 1

All of the images on this page show RIGHT HAND scissors - is this, indeed, a LEFT HAND product?

Accepted Answer

From a Left handed person who has been this way for sixty years,  I can vouch for these scissors that they are indeed "True Left Handed" Scissors. I have ordered them three different times in the last maybe eight years and they have all been Left Handed. My first pair of left handed scissors were Fiskars, that was in 1972. They are the same darker red-orange colored handles. They did for several years not make the  true left handed scissors so when I found these about eight years ago I was so happy and I have not been disappointed. And for the record the pictures are of "True Left Handed Scissors" I should know being left handed for so many years and having several pairs of left handed scissors and left handed pinking shears...

Question 2

Where are they made.

Accepted Answer

Don, you want Fiskars 01-005437. They're made in Finland. I bought these a year ago or so and plan to buy several for gifts this year. These are the ones!

Question 3

are these all purpose or only for fabric?

Accepted Answer

You can use them for whatever you want, but don't try to use them for fabric after using them on other stuff. Yes they are great for fabric, as long as that is all you use them for. My first pair of Left handed scissors were Fiskars way back in the early 70's. Telling my age. Fiskars stopped making "true" left handed scissors after that. So I was really happy when a few years ago I ran onto these and they are "true" left handed scissors. I have three pairs of these. One in each of my stations in the house. One in the kitchen (not for kitchen use though), one by my computer in the living room, and one pair in my bedroom. They have all been purchased in the last few years. My original scissors are in storage somewhere, but I do still have them and they still work properly..

Question 4

Open wide do these open wide ?

Accepted Answer

They open plenty wide for anything I've ever used them for, cutting material and various weights of paper.  They do not open wide and flat like  pinking shears or smaller scissors that the blade opens wide enough to touch the handle.
