Left handed bread knife
Most “normal” bread knives for right-handers are serrated on the LEFT of the blade – the idea being that the effect of the serrations counter-acts the natural inward (clockwise as you see it) twisting action of the right hand, leading to a straight cut. If a left-hander uses one of these knives, the serrations actually EMPHASIZE the natural anti-clockwise twisting motion of the left hand which leads to the classic “overhanging” loaf . Our left handed bread knives are serrated on the RIGHT side of the blade to give the correct balanced action for left-handers and generally people are very pleased that they can suddenly cut straight!
 | The correct way for a left-hander
The serrations are on the right side of the blade to counterbalance the natural inward twisting motion of the left hand, giving a nice straight cut. |
 | The wrong way
The serrations on a normal bread knife exaggerate the natural twisting motion of the left hand leading to a curved slice and an overhanging loaf. |

Stabilo Easy pens and pencils
The unique Stabilo Easy pens and pencils have been made with a special left handed version with the grip moulded for a comfortable fit in the left hand. Top marks to Stabilo for looking after the left-handers for a change!
If children are to learn well, they must be holding their pen or pencil in a comfortable position and minimise pressure so they can write or paint in a relaxed manner. With STABILO, right-and left-handed users can choose the STABILO EASYergonomics version developed specially for them. STABILO is the first writing instrument manufacturer to develop pens offering these ergonomic benefits.
In addition, thanks to the pens’ low weight and ergonomic shape, the hand muscles do not tire prematurely. The result: children and adolescents can concentrate for longer periods of time and have more fun when writing or drawing.

Pencut safety scissors left or right handed
The clever and innovative design means you can start with something looking like a pen that can be stored safely in your pocket or bag and just remove the cap, slide out the handles and have a perfectly good pair of left-handed scissors.
They can easily be converted from left-handed to right-handed or back by simply removing the handle guides and popping them in on the other side. These are the first scissors that are genuinely both left and right handed with the blades fully reversed in either direction.
