In the cutting position, the upper blade of left-handed aviation snips is on the cutter's left.

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. It depends
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

For left-handed aviation snips, the blade arrangement is set so the upper blade sits on the cutter’s left side in the cutting position. This orientation directs the cutting action toward the left and aligns with how a left-handed user guides the tool, giving better control and line visibility as you cut. With the upper blade on the left, the cutting edge engages the work on that side first, which produces a smoother, more predictable cut when moving the snips to the left. This is a standard design feature for left-handed snips, not something that varies by task or model, so the statement is correct.
