Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors Review

Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors
Average Reviews:

I am an Art teacher that has been using Fiskars student scissors for 10+ years. When I received my latest order of scissors, they were of this new type with the "larger" handles (exactly like these, but without the "softgrip"). Because of the new way that the blades are seated into the handles, they are prone to become loose and wobbly, eventually rendering them impossible to cut with. This is at the plastic connection point, not the pivot screw, so they cannot be re-tightened. I have 10 year old pairs of the other style that cut better than these new ones. Furthermore, the new, "larger" handles actually have smaller finger openings-- so they are uncomfortable for larger-handed students to use or for adults to demonstrate with.

Fiskars for kids scissors are recommended by more teachers than any other brand of scissors. The blades are engineered to cut whatever materials the class is using - providing a frustration-free, successful cutting experience for young ones. The handles are designed to give kids the most comfort and control with every cut. The ergonomic design of the handle helps teach proper cutting form. Quality, design and safety are all reasons that teachers nationwide use Fiskars in their classrooms.

This product will cut cloth only at the very tip. Beyond the tip you cannot cut. I returned them. I ordered another pair and had the same problem. Don't buy this brand.

As a right-handed person, I got fooled into believing that ambidextrous scissors for kids were the same as scissors for left-handed kids. WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! My 6 year old has been cutting with ambidextrous scissors ever since she started cutting ... and I believed she cut well - straight lines, good circles, etc. However, when she brought to my attention the other day that she had some "good" scissors and some "bad" scissors - I had to find out what the difference was. So, I did some research only to find even though I thought I had been doing the right thing by getting ambidextrous scissors - it only meant the handle was a shape that either right or left handed people could use - it didn't mean it cut for a leftie. The proof is in the scissors. Scissors truly intended for left handed people will have the left blade raise up when you open them - where as ambidextrous scissors (like scissors for right-handed people) will have the right blade raise up. For a leftie - this causes the paper to almost bend before they can cut it. These are truly as they are advertised. I gave them to my daughter and instantaneoulsy and surprisingly - she started to cut even better and straighter. Would definitely recommend these for a leftie - it is definitely worth the price!

Gingher G-8L True Left-Hand 8-Inch Knife-Edge Dressmaker's Shears Review

Wow these things cut like you wouldn't believe. The only anoyance is that the holster that is included from Gingher is for the right hand scissors so they don't even fit in the holster. You would think if they would bother making a decorative tin and everything they could at least make the product work. But other than that these things are great.

Some scissors are labeled "left handed" but are really neutral in that respect, that is equally useable by left or right hands. These scissors are truly left handed, and seem to be of very nice quality.
