Fwiw there’s more than just the shape of the handle. I don’t fully know why, but even basic symmetrical scissors are worse in the left hand than the right. I believe it has something to do with the slight sideways pressure you inevitably apply when using them, and the direction that pressure is being applied relative to how the two blades are configured.
Absolutely the positioning of the blades is right-favouring. Take any normal pair of “symmetrical” scissors as an exercise and try to cut through a stack of 20 sheets of paper. Note that the scissors twist in your hand. And they happen to twist in the direction that a right-hander finds easiest to control.
