Scotch 8" Precision Ultra Edge Bent Titanium Non-Stick Scissors, Ideal for Fabric, Crafts, Cardstock and Photos (1468TUNS-MIX)

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.

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!

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.

Works great for any sticky materials, but it's definitely better to use a regular pair on anything else.

I got these for only $4.00 in August '11 when they were offered during one of Amazon's Lightning Deals. One glance at all the good reviews and I didn't waste any time ordering them. I even emailed my family immediately so they could take advantage of such a good deal. I mean full-size scissors for only $4.00 -- how could you go wrong? Upon receiving them, I was not disappointed. They are every bit as nice as my Fiskars non-stick scissors of the same size, which I paid $13-$14 for. As a matter of fact, I like the way these Scotch scissors feel in my hand better. They are very comfortable and lightweight, as well as accurate and sharp. In trying to figure out what it is I like better about these than the Fiskars, aside from what I've already said, I would add that these seem to be easier to get in close for precision cuts, whereas, my Fiskars 8" non-stick feel a little bit bulky and not as easy to get in close where the scissors are hinged. Before reading other reviews just now, I thought perhaps these scissors might be better suited for someone with small hands, like mine, but I see that many reviewers say they find them comfortable for large hands. I put these new Scotch scissors in the room of our house where scissors are needed most often and moved the Fiskars to a desk drawer on another level of the house. Every time I use the Fiskars now, I am aware of the difference and how much better I like the Scotch brand scissors. Even if I had paid Amazon's usual price of $9.49, I would still feel they were a good value and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Perfect size for desk and other miscellaneous uses around the house. I have multiple pairs. Someone told me to occasionally cut a piece of aluminum foil to keep them sharp. I’m also able to easily use with my left hand. Good grip. Lightweight. Good value for money. Probably wouldn’t recommend to cut fabric. They could…it just wouldn’t be a nice clean edge. I’ve had one pair for three years. Durable.

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.

Very sharp. Deducted 2 stars because the inner plastic rubbery part became very sticky after a couple of months of use. This should not happen with quality 3M product unless they use a very cheap material for it. Not expected that from this company.

Super sharp scissor very effective, worth the money spent!

Muy buen corte

Good one and value for the money

These are nice and sharp, using them for fabric.

Perfectly as described. Very pleased with it.
