The Aussie shop sells sets of nail scissors with a pair of each orientation. The difference in using a lefthanded pair in cutting the right hand nails is amazing - no adjustment of grip required. I really would recommend lefties to get a pair for any work. The advantage in children's use is wonderful.

Both shops explain the differences with regard to scissors, knives and secateurs (it's the position of the lock device, as well as the cross over. In scissors, it's not just the cross over and pressure - it is also the way that you can see the line of cutting better.
