A left-handed nib is understood to be a left cut lettering nib:

The left cut nib compared to the right cut nib.

But actually there are no nibs for the left handed, because 50 or 100 years ago - most of the nibs offered here were manufactured by that time - the left-handed were not offered any special products, but as a rule have been re-educated to use their right hands for writing.

In fact at that time two ways of holding the pen have been accepted:

1. The closed, upright position, where the ankle of the forefinger is pointing almost up:

Holding a pen holder in the the closed, upright position.

That's when the left cut nib provides a more comfortable rest on the paper.

2. The normal, open position, where the ankle of the forefinger ist pointing to the right:

Holding a pen holder in the normal, open position.

That's when the right cut nib was preferred.

Left cut nibs can be useful for both the left-handed and the right handed, depending on the way one is used to hold the pen in his hand.

In general all kinds of pen nibs are suitable for the lefthanded, but usually the position of the hand is the main problem.
