Default Left handed Tri-Rec tool

I have been using my tri-rec tool lately. On the rec tool, at first I thought, gee, why do I always have to turn the tool face down (where the lettering and numbering are backwards) or turn the fabric at an angle to cut the triangles? What a silly design.

And then I realized...

It's because I'm left-handed and the tool is designed for righties. If I were to use the recs tool face-up with the fabric strip perpendicular to me, I'd have to cut the triangles toward myself.

Try it if you don't believe me ;-).

Has anyone run across left-handed tri-recs pairs (really I would only need the recs tool to be that way, since the tri tool is symmetrical)?

I can use the tool backwards, but it's annoying that the numbering is always backwards.

I found leftie-rightie rulers, just not tri-recs.
