I was at a craft fair yesterday and a customer who had bought of me before asked if they could have a twist pen that twists the opposite way? at first I thought he was pulling my plonker but he was quite genuine ,Do they exist?

Any person with left handness has gone through a period of time learning to adapt and adjust to so many things not the least writing with a pen I am interested if there is such a thing as this however I do suggest one instance I know of that is the Cigar pen that operates left and right. This might help or not.

The Cigar pen I made twists right and left, it being retracted in the middle.
I sold it as suitable for right or left handed folk, and it went to a left hander. (corry fisted as we say here)

Yep the new cigar twists both ways, the old one only to the right.
Some of the sierras' do to.
I can't remember what they call it but should be listed with the kit which way they turn.
