The WASA Cloth Scissors 6" is true left-handed scissors with mirror-inverted blades. Version: nickel-plated.
On WASA left-handed scissors the blades are mirror-inverted: the upper blade is on the left, so left-handers see the cutting line and close the scissors naturally. The result is clean cuts without a twisted wrist – from snipping threads to cutting fabric.
WASA stands for Waldmin & Saam: the scissor manufacturer was founded in Solingen in 1907 by August Waldmin and Friedrich Saam and is still known today for forged quality scissors – above all embroidery and needlework scissors.

Frequently asked questions
How do I recognise true left-handed scissors?
On true left-handed scissors the upper blade is on the left. Only then can a left-hander see the cutting line, and the blades are pressed together while cutting.
What does "plain steel" (blank) mean for a WASA scissor?
It means untreated steel without nickel plating. The surface is only oiled, so blades, shank and joint should be lightly oiled regularly to prevent tarnish or rust. Nickel- or chrome-plated versions need less care.
