Maybe you live in a world where razor-sharp high-quality scissors are the norm

I don’t understand the downvotes or the tone here, I wasn’t combative and I obviously don’t live in a world where high quality scissors are the norm, which is why I was adding the info to the conversation. I’ve used whatever scissors I could find my entire life, until I’ve used a good pair it’s like the experience you describe finding the left handed scissors. “so this is what cutting with scissors is like?”

it’s also the angle at which you hold it, and how your body twists and contorts when you grip and squeeze.

I completely agree, that makes a huge difference and makes it worth the investment alone, that’s what I was saying.

But I can use my good scissors with my left hand to glide through giftwrap without tearing, although it wouldn’t be very comfortable as the grip is backwards and I’m not left handed; I’m certain you can take your good left handed scissors and use them to glide through giftwrap with your right hand.

It won’t be comfortable, buy it’ll work, because they’re good scissors. And I don’t know why saying $14 like it’s cheap, most people get their scissors in a 3 pack for $10…
