Westcott 8" Straight Titanium Bonded Non-Stick Scissors with Adjustable Glide Feature, Grey/Yellow (14849)

I own high-end cutting devices for textile, so I understand what you can spend on quality cutting implements. That being said, every shop needs some "do it all" scissors that you aren't afraid to hurt and replace. The grip and coating on these is nice and make them easy enough to use for general purpose cutting. They work well, and are a good value for the money. These are not high-end shears, but they get the job done for every day tasks and aren't incredibly expensive to replace when the time comes.

We keep a pair of scissors in our kitchen drawer to use for a variety of purposes. The pair we’d had before had never been particularly good, and after a few years’ use the bolt that connected the two blades came undone. I knew I didn’t want to just pick up any cheap scissors I could find, since I’d never been happy with how the old pair worked. I’m a crafter so I have a few scissors that are dedicated to specific purposes. Among them is a pair of Westcott scissors I use for cutting heavier papers. I’d been impressed with their effectiveness so I decided to buy this two-pack for household use; they look different from my dedicated paper scissors so I won’t mix them up, and I was confident they would work well. We’ve had them for a while now and it’s working out great. They make it easy to break down cardboard boxes for recycling (and to open packages when they arrive): they’re nice and sharp, so I don’t have to apply a lot of pressure to cut through the shipping tape. The handles are comfortable to hold. The inside orange parts are rubbery for a good grip (there’s also a rubbery bit on the side for the index finger to get a good grip if you need it), and the outside gray parts are a harder textured plastic. The join between the blades says it is adjustable, though I haven’t had a reason to try to adjust it so far. I love that they can be used in either the right or the left hand because I’m left-handed while my husband is right-handed, so we don’t have to worry about keeping different kinds of scissors around. The texture on the blades is unusual for me, since normally they’re just smooth and shiny. I assume this is to give it the promised nonstick feature. It’s never been a big pain point for me to have things get stuck to the scissors, though I suppose occasionally it is annoying when tape from a package gets stuck to the blades. I haven’t had issues with that while using these scissors so at this point the nonstick claims hold true for me. Really happy with these so far and I’m sure I’ll look to Westcott for future needs.

Great little scissors. Very sharp. My 12 year old grandson uses these a lot.

Great scissors! Love that they came in a pack bc now I can put a pair in every bedroom. Great quality!

I am left handed. These sissors cut really well without having to apply the pressure we lefties sometimes need to use with right handed or am​bi​dex​trous sissors. These sissors are very sharp and I love that aspect. My only issue is the finger holes are on the small side. It would be great if they were a little bigger. If you have very thin fingers, the holes should not be an issue. I cannot simply put them down, but have to hold the sissors with my other hand to pull my finger and thumb out of the finger holes.

These are really great scissors regardless of the price. We like them very much, they do the job and are lightweight in the hand. We have a tiny pair that came out of a paper machine roller (included with the paper roll I believe) and after years are still dangerously sharp so we got the larger size. Don't hesitate, worth the choice.

These are great scissors

Love these scissors in the lab and the kitchen. Their blades are noticeably harder and sharper than regular scissors. They work way better than you average scissors.
