Fiskars General Purpose Left-Handed Scissors, 21cm

Uncompromising Accuracy for Left-Handed Tailors & Designers

Using standard right-handed shears in a left hand forces the natural hand mechanics to push the blades apart rather than pushing them together. This causes fabrics to slide right between the edges, leading to frayed threads and hand cramps. The Fiskars 9850 Classic Left-Handed Shears completely solve this structural frustration. By reversing the entire mechanical assembly, left-handed artisans can slice down long fabric panels with natural hand pressure, achieving clean, professional cuts every single time.

The Ultimate Studio All-Rounder

The 21cm (8-inch) profile makes this model the ideal general-purpose workhorse for a busy studio or cutting room floor. The extended blade length lets you sweep through long pattern papers, dress boards, heavy tailoring interlinings, and utility fabrics with fewer strokes. It bridges the gap perfectly between delicate thread snips and cumbersome heavy-duty industrial shears, handling both light drafting work and robust textile preparation flawlessly.

Legendary Finnish Durability & Comfort

Fiskars’ classic design heritage is fully captured in this red-handled series. The injection-molded loops are impact-resistant and chemical-proof, ensuring they can survive accidental drops on concrete studio floors without breaking or knocking the blades out of line. The heavy-duty steel resists rust, corrosion, and sticky residues from basting sprays or fusible backings, making it a reliable lifetime fixture at your workbench.
