I'm like you in that I'm left-handed, but use scissors with my right hand.. I think that was a self-defense/adaptive mechanism as left handed scissors were few and far between when I was growing up!

As for the rotary cutter.. I've never felt comfortable right-handed... go figure!

I bought a Martelli left handed cutter at the Houston Festival this year and absolutely LOVE it.
It is MUCH easier too apply pressure without strain.
