Scotch Precision Ultra Edge

Very nice, sharp scissors. The grip is nice and the colors in real life are accurate to what's pictured. The action is nice and they have that satisfying friction feeling of the blades coming together when you're cutting stuff. $12 is a perfectly reasonable price for 3 pairs of quality, around the house scissors.

I've bought these scissors twice, now, and I absolutely love them. They are very sharp and keep their edge well. I use them for trimming the thick hair on my two Cavaliers. Over time, all that hair does dull them, at which point I retire them to use for cutting paper, cardboard, and kids' projects. They continue to function well in that capacity. I expect to buy another set once these are getting old, but after two years of heavy use, the most recent set is still going strong, so it'll be a while. I can truly recommend them for anything that needs a good edge, be it sewing, hair, or some other purpose. Caution: They *are* sharp enough to cut skin if handled carelessly, so keep them away from young children. And if you use them for mats on your pets, don't pull the hair out tightly, because the skin will also pull out a bit. If you can't see the skin, you may nick it, which I discovered the hard way. Luckily, my dogs forgave me quickly, but ...

It's a fantastic deal for titanium scissors. But titanium isn't all that counts. They are also well constructed, so the blades fit together just right. This leads to an easy, crisp and precise cut. I can easily snip a dangling piece of fabric or yarn without having to pull them taut. The handles are also comfortable. These are the best scissors I've used in a long time!

it seems like most pairs of scissors i use are "ergonomically designed" to sit comfortably in your hand while you're cutting away. this is a good thing...if you're right-handed. we lefties pick up those scissors and, within about 30 minutes of use, have a few raw and blistered areas around our thumbs or pinkies. the alternative is a simple, universal-style scissors that will work in either hand. while this is an improvement for southpaws, we still have another issue to deal with. scissors that are cheap or even just a bit flimsy have the tendency to not cut when used with the left hand. the lateral force created by lefties when closing the scissors forces the two cutting edges away from each other, and you end up with the paper folding between the two blades, rather than being cut cleanly. this is usually not an issue with more expensive scissors. enter these scotch ultra edge scissors! these scissors are, quite simply, the best general-use scissors i've ever used. they are very sturdy, very sharp, and very smooth to operate. best part about them--they work great for lefties! their padded finger loops make them very comfortable in either hand. for the left-handed population, these scissors are everything we've hoped for since kindergarten! we picked up this 3-pack because it seems as though you can never find the pair of scissors you're looking for when you need them. the price is comparable to buying three higher-quality sets separately. i didn't think i would ever spend $15 on scissors, but i'm very happy i did!

I have been a quilter and seamstress for several dozen years and I have used a large number of scissors including some very expensive ones. I am very impressed with Scotch scissors. The scissors are very sharp and make a pleasant crunch as the cut. They are comfortable to hold. I like that the handles of the three scissors in this set have different colors, so I can color code their use. I will use one for fabrics (I do a lot of fiber arts and this is my primary use for the scissors), one for paper projects (paper dulls scissors faster than fabric), and one for cutting shipping tape (the glue from the tape sticks to the blades so eventually they stop cutting well). The scissor blades are made out of titanium and look black (rather than silver like stainless steel scissors). I am attaching four images that I will be referencing in this review. Photo#1: The scissors came carefully packaged and separated from each other in shipping. Photo#2: The handle of the scissors is made of out soft plastic and is comfortable to use. The scissors are made for a right-handed person. Photo#3: The openings in the handle of the scissors is over sized. In the third photo I show Scotch scissors next to similar-sized Fons and Porter scissors and Fiscars scissors. You can see that the opening of the Scotch scissors is bigger. The material of the handles is softer than the other two. So I found them very comfortable to use for a long time. Photo#4: Shows Scotch scissors on the postal scale, they weigh in at 2.9 oz. They are heavy enough to do heavy duty cutting, yet not too heavy for me to get tired while using them. Overall, the scissors over-exceeded my expectations given that I payed significantly more for other scissors which don't perform any better than the scissors in this set. I recommend them!

ITEM: Scotch Brand Precision Ultra Edge Scissors, Left- or Right-Handed, 8 Inch, 3-Pack Pro: cheapest, brand name, "8 inch", 3.75 inch blades, sharp, but not heavy-weight scissors, fast delivery. for those with larger hands, the thumb hole is ok; the fingers hole fits my first finger outside, my second and third finger as ok inside, and the fourth finger outside. Con: can not cut thick stems, although finger holes are ok for medium large hand, they are not generous in size. the "pink" color is ugly; the other two ok.

Just have reasonable expectations, and chances are you will be delighted with these. They are probably not too useful on cloth; but on paper, light-to-medium cardboard, light plastics, packaging tape, wrapping paper, etc., they work fantastic. It's nice to have a color-coded set, because you can distribute them around the house and thereby have a better chance of keeping track of where they are located (or should be located). They are smooth in operation, and cut paper items well. One person asked about washing them in the dishwasher: I would never do that. If you find you need to clean them, use Windex and a cloth. A dab of oil on the joint might be helpful over time. Also--and this is a "trick" that sometimes people are not aware of--is that, if your scissors over time seem to get dull, before you blame the scissors, look carefully at the blades. If you have been repeatedly using these to cut packing tape, the glue from the tape can slowly migrate to the blades, and they don't cut as well. That means it's time to clean them. Hot water will help, along with cloth, even an old electric toothbrush head connected to your electric toothbrush, may bring them back to life and restore much of their sharpness. (You'll notice the "glue effect" buildup mostly when you aere cutting gift paper, and try to do a clean "run" of cutting: if they don't do that well, chances are you have buildup on the blades. So, are these the best scissors in the world? Of course not. If you want those, particularly for hair cutting, go directly to the Solingen brand ( Ergo Silver Star Hair Scissor Shears, 5.625 Inches, Hollow Ground, Ice-Tempered Stainless Steel, Made in Solingen, Germany ) and you'll see what REAL scissors can be like. But for general, around the house use, from everything from paper, to opening boxes, to wrapping gifts, to sealing boxes with shipping tape, you can't beat these. The price is right, you get three of them, they are color coded, comfortable, and of decent quality. Have reasonable expectations and purchase the type of scissors you need, and you'll likely be completely satisfied.

They're not quite as good as the 3 pack of Fiskars all purpose scissors that you've probably seen out here on Amazon. You know, the ones that are like a dull pink, blue, and green color? I tested one of the Scotch pair of scissors against one of the Fiskars pair of scissors for about three days, by using them both on everything that I cut. And while the Scotch scissors were always really close to the Fiskars, I always felt like the Fiskars were a little better. And that's even with giving the Scotch scissors a huge head start. Because believe it or not, the Fiskars that I was using were over a year old already. And besides that, the Scotch scissors feel like they are lighter in weight, but it turns out that they're not. One pair of the Fiskars weighs 2.5 ounces, and one pair of the Scotch scissors weighs 2.9 ounces. At least, that's what I got when I weighed them. Anyway, all I'm saying is that the Fiskars are a little better, in my opinion. And I'm not saying that these Scotch scissors are bad by any means. I mean, they have a non-stick coating while the Fiskars do not. Ultimately though, I suppose it just comes down to a matter of preference. Or maybe you are someone like me who has always preferred Fiskars scissors and have always used them, but you're looking for a change of pace. Because that's the main reason that I got these, and I'm definitely not disappointed. They are attractive, comfortable scissors that cut well for righties and lefties. And so, I have still decided to give them a score of 5... out of, 5.

well built, no wobbling in the hinge.
