Westcott ‎14881 5-Inch Non-Stick Titanium Scissors For Office and Home, Yellow/Gray

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.

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 quality scissors and yes, I’ve personally taken them through TSA without issue, a few times. They’ll stay in my little travel office supplies kit until they get stolen and then I’ll buy another.

I have an old pair of these scissors for about 20 years, and they still cut accurately.So I decided to give them a rest and use the new scissors for a variety of duties. They are lighter, easy to grip, and cut precisely! They are worth the purchase price.

I use these scissors at work mostly to cut paper and occasionally Ribbon when it’s stuck in a tank as I prefer not to damage my nicer scissors. I work in a Ribbon factory so scissors are a tool that we use all the time. I got this multi pack of scissors on sale and you really can’t beat the price. I’ve used these scissors or variation of them for years and they work great and the fact that you can adjust the tension on these is a nice plus. They’re also easy to sharpen if that’s something that you do. They’re great all-around scissor for every day tasks. I wouldn’t necessarily go around cutting zip ties with them, but they will do it. They also tend to last for a very long time. I’ve used some of these until the rubber on the handles falls off so as long as you take care of them, they should last you a very long time.

I’ve had it for months. It’s remained sharp. These are NOT mass produced, cheaply made scissors. It should last for years and years. I’m glad I purchased it.

Wescott makes the best line of scissors IMHO. I own many of their various scissor types. These utility scissors in bulk are fantastic. I use them as kitchen scissors to cut everything from chicken and beef to vegies. I also use them for crafts and general scissory stuff. I even use them in the garden. They stay nice and sharp. Just watch the pricing. When they are at about $25 bucks, that is a deal, but I have seen the price jump above $50 which is just unreasonable.

Great adhesive free scissors, use in crafts
