    These are very old, well used scissors. They are heavy steel and designed for a left handed user. Great for an antique collection. They are 13" long with a 6" blade. The are rough looking but still usable.

      Only left handed people are in their right minds. Welcome to the Leftorium.

      Since I'm a left handed tailor I've been looking for these for months! It's a shame no one makes them anymore. Do you know how can I get them?

      Hi, marco_bonutto. :-)

      It ain't easy bein' a southpaw, huh? :-(

      You could scour all of the second-hand sales venues such as eBay, etc., or you could take a chance on something new.

      Here's are a couple pair available through Amazon:
