        And too many people try to hand over ambi/lefty Grip scissors and think they are the same. I’ve tried to explain the blade flip to other people who look at me like I’m insane or try to explain back to me how it’s impossible. If I hadn’t gone to an awesome elementary school with an overstocked art room I would have never encountered them. They even had little blunted ones for kids, but it was the 80’s so we used the sharps anyway.

          My mom bought me some for school because she figured out I couldn’t use normal scissors. I was also doing occupational therapy for some other child health issues so my parents were very attentivenat the time. This was during the mid 2000s.

            Awesome on mom! They were a lil pricy back in the day so I didn’t get my own till a few years ago (after cutting open a damn cat toy package and having to go get stitches). Figured someone like Walmart or Amazon has to have them cheaper nowadays. And they did.
