Scotch8" Precision Ultra Edge Bent Titanium Non-Stick Scissors, Ideal for Fabric, Crafts, Cardstock and Photos (1468TUNS-MIX)

I got REALLY tired of buying scissors that were junk. I've had these about 4 days. But the scissors are very sharp and cut into almost anything. I tested them against my old pair on the exact same type material and these scissors were far better. They're worth the money!

These are really good scissors and while they are on the more expensive side, I think their performance and build-quality justifies the price if the buyer wants a pair of scissors with a non-stick coating. If having the non-stick coating is not that important, Scotch's standard Precision lineup with stainless blades may be a more economical choice for high-performance scissors.I have used the less-expensive stainless Scotch Precision lineup (stainless blade with a red & gray handle) for many years and am very happy with them. These Precision Ultra Edge scissors have two main differences from the standard Scotch Precision: 1) these Precision Ultra Edge scissors have a titanium blade (versus the standard Precision having a stainless steel blade), and 2) these Precision Ultra Edge scissors have a non-stick coating on them (versus the standard Precision having a non-coated stainless finish.) Like the standard Precision line, this Precision Ultra Edge utilizes excellent craftsmanship to produce scissors that make very precise/clean cuts, are comfortable to use, and are durable. While I have not kept track of how many cuts I have made (so I cannot speak directly to the 100,000 cuts rating), I have used these a lot, mainly with paper, cardboard, and labels and they have and continue to cut all materials with ease and cleanly.Since I already had the standard Precision scissors, the primary reason I purchased these (more-expensive) titanium Precision Ultra scissors was for the non-stick coating. I often cut labels and adhesive materials quickly build up on the blades, resulting in a messy cut and a need to clean the scissors (usually with something like rubbing alcohol). These titanium non-stick scissors do not eliminate that issue completely, but they do make notable improvements over other products I have used. Additionally, cleaning the small amount of buildup that does occur off of these is very easy (kind of like how cleaning caked-on food off of a non-stick pan takes much less effort than one without the coating.) So these make my life a good bit easier when I cut labels or tape.The handles themselves are similar to other stainless Scotch scissors I have used. They are very comfortable, large-sized, and use a rubber material so that the skin on your hand makes contact with this softer rubber. If you use scissors non-stop, I find this design reduces blistering as well as discomfort.So I do think these are worth the money. With that said, Scotch's standard red & gray Precision scissors lineup with stainless steel blades are also excellent-performing scissors. The biggest single difference with this Precision Ultra is that these have a non-stick coating and how this coating works really well when cutting materials with adhesives on them, such as labels (in terms of edge-holding, Scotch's stainless steel and titanium blades both hold their edge for such a loooooong time it is difficult to compare.) So if you do not necessarily need the non-stick feature, Scotch's Precision standard lineup may serve you equally well for less money. If you want scissors with a non-stick coating, these Precision Ultra Edge scissors are golden.

This scissor is a great addition to my cabinet. It comes nicely packaged with a red tab holding the scissor in place. You could give it as a simple gift to someone and it looks classy even in the packaging. Taking it out of the box, it is immediately noteworthy. The blade is titanium and a greyish brownish purple color. Hard to identify the exact color as it shimmers in the light, but it is definitely attractive and fancy looking. The 8" length is great for cutting a variety of materials. My scissors were black with a purple nub in the center which was very conservative, nice looking, and classy.I compared this with other scissors and it fits nicely in my hand. It holds 3 fingers (middle, ring and pinky) with the index finger sticking out. The thumb has a place to go and the hole is large enough for most thumbs. I would not say this is a scissor for those with extremely large hands, but for the rest of us, it will do just fine. Normally, on other scissors, you have nowhere to put the index finger - in this case, there's a small "groove" - not an indentation but rather part of the rubber covers the top of the ring so that you know to put your index finger there, and it's slightly comfortable.The scissor is held by a screw that appears to be tightly inserted and will not come out. The grips are reinforced rubber and are solid. On one of my other scissors the grip has already broken because it's cheap plasticky material, but this seems solid. The heft is medium. Not heavy at all, but certainly not light by any means, and will feel solid in a woman's hand. A man will find it to be a nice cutting tool as well.The blade is sharpened and honed to perfection. I tested it with some tape and paper, and it cut smoothly without any issues. I also tested the non-stick - duct tape will adhere slightly, but scotch tape wont stick. You really have to make the effort to get it to stick. I am sure that will reduce over time, but for now, I am quite happy with this purchase.

These things are SO sharp, they'll cut through almost anything (Including your finger, if you're not careful ;-) Great price and VERY high quality. Love 'em.
