Im a right handed person, when I use scissors to cut my nails with my right hand everything is great, but when I try to cut using the same scissors with my left hand, the scissors dont want to cut.

the blades are chamfered with a bevelled edge left to right so that the cutting motion would just crease a piece of paper. you can get left handed scissors though with the bevel the other way.

It has to do with the angle of the blades.You would have to use scissors for the left hand that have the blades positioned correctly. The nails should be cut with proper nail clippers or filed

I'm a left hander, and I was taught to use scissors right-handed at a young age, so I'm fine with that.
But it's really interesting that whatever forces I apply to the scissors at whatever angles when I cut, i can't cut properly with my left hand. Depending on where you are (there's a left-handed shop in soho, london), you should be able to get left-handed scissors.

Because when you try to cut with the left hand you force the blades apart thats y they won't cut.
Try pulling your thumb in towards you then they will work! or just use your right hand or buy left handed scissors!

they are designed for right handed use. the blades work against each other right handed but pull apart left handed. get left handed ones as well.
