Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia MT Mancino Precisione Left-Hand occupies the premium tier, priced between the Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa and the Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione.
The Alfa Italia MT Mancino Precisione is a purpose-built left-hand cutting shear from the MT Precisione line, priced at £360. The blades are ground specifically for left-handed cutting — not simply a mirrored handle attached to a right-hand blade — so the cutting edge engages correctly when used in the left hand. It comes in both offset and classic left-hand handle styles, both in Japanese 440C steel with a convex edge.
At 5 inches, the Mancino covers the same precision tasks as the right-hand MT range: point cutting, scissor-over-comb, and close-range detail work at the fringe or graduation line. The offset left-hand handle positions the thumb lower than the fingers, reducing wrist deviation in the same way as its right-hand equivalent.
For the full Alfa Italia left-handed range and current purchasing options, see the Alfa Italia brand page on ScissorPedia.
