Pens, pencils, grips, sharpeners
The following writing instruments and the ergonomic pencil grip are especially useful for left-handed writers.
Quality Smudgeproof Pens!
These pens are quite simply terrific for left-handers! We have only had rave reports about them!
Mitsubishi Pencil Co. have combined ballpoint and rollerball pen technology and the result is a free flowing, smooth pen with strong, vivid ink - and the excellent news for us lefties is that the ink dries so quickly that there is no smudging!
They are great for lefties who write with a 'hook' and for 'lefty sidewinders' whose hand comes in from the side and trails over the freshly written ink. Even if you are a lefty 'underwriter' (like me) you'll enjoy the smoothness, the easy flow of the ink and the soft grip, non-slip comfort of these pens. (Of course they work for righties too - its just that the quick drying ink is of more benefit to left-handers.) |
Uni Jetstream Sport Retractable Pens | |
| Line width = 1.0mm The ultimate smooth and fast writer Jetstream contains a unique quick drying ink that dries in a flash making it smudge free and ideal for left-handed writers. This is the fun one in the Uni Jetsream family - smooth, fast drying, smudge free and finished with a funky design. It is available in Black, Blue and Red. All are retractable. At last, you can write with total confidence knowing that your hand will not smudge your good work! Yay! |

Ergonomic Pencil Grip
|
Ergonomically moulded pencil grip | |||||
|
This is a very valuable aid for promoting the correct holding of a pencil because it encourages the tripod grip. It also reduces stress on the fingers and writer’s cramp. Designed by doctors, it works with the body’s natural physiology to gently place the fingers in the proper position for gripping. This pencil grip will help any young child develop a good grip of the writing instrument. There is both an ‘L’
marking and an ‘R’ marking on the pencil grip. Left-handers put their thumb on
the ‘L’ Young and old can use this marvellous invention to write more easily, more comfortably, without fatigue and without pain. It is great for exams and a godsend for those with arthritis in their fingers. It can be used on pens, pencils, felt tips, paint brushes and the thinner craft knives for a secure grip. One ergonomically moulded pencil grip is included in the Little Lefty Set. Additional grips in different colours can be purchased separately. |
