They make a left-handed version. See the leftyslefthanded.com site which carries the Gingher and the Martelli. www.leftylefthanded.com

Not sure what you are asking, but I bought two myself and you can use them for left or right. I think they are mainly right handed but I use it for left as well

If you're wondering if one cutter will do the job with both hands using the cutter and alternating between left and right, I really don't think you can do that and cut with accuracy. The way the blades are set to be flush against a ruler wouldn't work, without distorting the accuracy of the cut. I see two customers mention buying one of each. One left and another for right. Perhaps you might buy one and see what works for you? I too found the first blade dull, but changing is a fascinating, safe experience and I used the old blade to cut batting. I love this cutter! Used it to cut multiple layers for quilts at a time and multiple pants patterns, in different fabrics, also in layers. Hope this helps??

right handed. Could possibly use left handed but the holes are chamfered. Mine are over 20 years young. As sharp and gorgeous as the day I bought them. I do admit I paid over $90 for mine ( came with a plastic blade cover lol) I was shocked at the price here.

No, you will need to purchase the Felco F9 or the Felco 7 which has a rotating handle for either left or right handed people.

Yes. This is labelled as ambidextrous. The confusion might be that earlier models were left or right handed. I have one of those as well. Hope this helps. Buy it. Cause the kids will love it!!!

Yes they make a left handed model as well. I bought and use it regularly super comfortable and good retention you won't be disappointed.

You can use your left hand at the top to trigger the blade and your right hand on the handle. I'll be using it today (being somewhat ambidextrous) to see if there are any negatives to that approach. The blade will always be housed to your right, regardless of how you hold it, but I don't see why that would be much of an issue for a leftie.

Yes, I believe the way this tool is designed would be suitable for a left-handed person. I highly recommend it. Before I purchased this item, it was a real struggle to get the coconut meat out of the shell. It's a lifesaver!!

Yes, I bought them for my wife who is left handed. She loves them, says they are the best kitchen shears she has ever used.

No, I have a right handed one. I don't know if they have for left handed users.

I had to check. Yes. The curvature of the handles is equal on both sides. Therefore they could be used by left handed people as well as right handed people

While the finger holds are the same held either way, I do not think that you would find it satisfactory. The entire purpose of these is the large blade which protects you from cutting too much. Reversed you lose that protection because the larger blade would end up on the bottom. So I would not get these for a leftie. I found their contact info and included it below. Hope you can locate left-handed ones because they are just the ticket for cutting out tricky appliques and other close trimming work. The larger blade really does protect well.

Yes, it can. I am a lefty myself and even though I bought the set for my son I tried it out myself. Buy extra arrows as they break easily :)

There are left-handed versions of Felco tools, and those work better than trying to adapt to the curve of the right-handed version holding it in your left hand, although I will periodically switch hands as I prune for convenience of access to a particular cut or to give one hand a break when doing a lot of pruning and I have no problems using the right-handed version of the Felco with my left hand for short periods of time.

Yes. Left handers rejoice! Now they need to get to work on all the other stuff designed for right handers. Lol
