Some of these are incredibly sharp!
The titanium coated one they have in one picture (gold tinted blade) is one I got via jetpens.com and via an incident with them sliding along a plastic tab; I got my first stitches ever, 3 stitches from a cut adjacent a joint of the right pointer finger. (Fall 2018 at the tender age of 30. )
My recommendation: only use normal scissors on paper, for every thing else use a scissor with the grippy micro serrations for a safer / better time.
In the kitchen the oxo brand scissors are great. For random plastic stuff like the dreaded plastic clamshell I take the nuclear route of using a compound action tin snips! Makes plastic or sheet metal cut like melted butter. And way safer ;)
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoOuch! Personally I consider all the TiNi coated scissors and knives to be basically a sham, the coating doesn't make the tool sharper, just harder to sharpen when it begins to dull. Though on scissors it may make the blades a little less likely to pick up adhesive from tape (I have seen some Japanese scissors with a PTFE coating for that too).
- carterschonwald 7y agoyeah, i think they're marketed mostly as "less likely to get glues stuck". Sure look pretty though! ;)
