Left-handed highlights

Reversed blade configuration made specifically for left-handed cutting, so the cut line stays visible and the blades meet naturally when used in the left hand.

A note from HIDARI

This is the more compact Allex option in our lineup. We like it for everyday jobs like opening letters and light cutting, especially if you prefer a smaller pair that’s easy to keep close at hand.

A compact pair of left-handed scissors for everyday desk work.

Made by Hayashi Cutlery in Seki, Japan, these ALLEX scissors bring together clean stainless steel lines and soft green handle rings. At 16.5 cm (6.5 in.) long, they're a handy size for opening letters, trimming paper and small craft projects.

Medium or Large? Start with the fit.

The Medium has two round finger holes, each about 25 mm (1 in.) across. Choose it if you prefer a compact pair for smaller cutting jobs. If you have larger hands or thicker fingers, or want longer blades for cutting wider sheets of paper, take a look at the ALLEX Large scissors — 20 cm (7.9 in.), with their roomier, elongated lower handle.

Polished steel, a softer grip

The flowing stainless steel shape continues from the blades into the handles, with carefully polished curves. Green elastomer rings soften the contact with your fingers, while the 2.5 mm-thick stainless steel is rust-resistant and durable.

The blades and tips are sharp, so we do not recommend this model for children.

Excellent scissors!!

We’re pleased you like the ALLEX scissors. Thank you for taking a moment to leave a review.

Very sharp, very well made

Bought these knives because I am left handed and they look especially well made. I love that they were crafted in Japan and they’ve been lovely to use on fruit, bread and meat . :) the thinness and sharpness of the blade allows me to cut very thin.

Thank you for the detailed feedback on the knives. We’re glad they have been useful for preparing different foods.
