Lefthanded School Supplies 7 PC Set, Left Handed Scissors, Ruler, Pencil The spiral notebook has the opens from left to right, so lefties don't have to press their hands into the spiral in order to write. The refillable Pentel Tradio gel pen has quick-drying ink for non-smearing writing and a .07 medium tip. All of our scissors and shears are TRUE left-handed, that is, they have the blades reversed so you can see what you are cutting. Because the left blade is always on top, the left-hander has a clear view of the cutting line. The pencil sharpener rotates counter clockwise, so lefties can twist the pencils naturally. The ruler reads from right to left, making it easier for young lefties to learn to measure.
