RichardB Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Who is credited with making the first pair of left-handed scissors ? I'm "dolly-handed" myself but I've never used left-handed ones, you just get used to standard right-handed ones. Strangely I've used a mouse right-handed for over 20 years :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Indeed, but my name is really Wilhelmena and I once fell into the arms of some Scotsmen from Hull (nod of respect to The Rutles) probably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Answer : About the year 1760, a very great improvement was effected in the making or finishing of scissors. Mr. Robert Hinchclifie, wishing to produce an article much superior in appearance to any then in use, as a present to a favourite young lady, had the honour of making the first pair of scissors hard polished; which valuable improvement has ever since that time been adopted by all manufacturers. To Mr. Hinchcliffe we are indebted also as the first maker of the left-handed scissors, an article suited to his own convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
