FAQs

What materials are these scissors best suited for?

These scissors are ideal for cutting paper, cardstock, thread, thin fabrics, and light packaging materials. They are designed for crafting and general household tasks.

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?

No, the Fiskars Classic Small Universal Scissors (16cm, Orange) are designed for right-handed use. Fiskars offers specific left-handed models.

How do I clean the scissors?

The scissors are dishwasher safe. For optimal longevity, you can also hand wash them with warm water and mild soap, then dry them thoroughly.

How long will the blades stay sharp?

The durable stainless steel blades with optimal hardness (HRC 57) are designed for long-lasting sharpness. For best performance, use the Fiskars scissor sharpener when needed.

What is the weight and length of these scissors?

The total length is 16 cm, the cutting blade length is 8.1 cm, and the scissors weigh approximately 46 grams.

Can these scissors cut thick cardboard or heavy fabric?

These scissors are intended for lighter tasks. They may struggle with very thick cardboard or dense fabrics. For such materials, a heavier-duty pair of scissors would be more appropriate.

What does 'Faceted Grinding' mean for the blades?

Faceted grinding refers to a specific blade sharpening technique that creates a precise edge, allowing for clean and accurate cuts all the way to the very tip of the blades.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Check the rivet for any debris or obstruction. Gently clean around the rivet. If stiffness persists, a tiny drop of lubricant on the rivet might help, but ensure it doesn't transfer to the blades.

Blades are not cutting cleanly or are snagging.

The blades may need sharpening. Use a Fiskars scissor sharpener. Ensure you are cutting appropriate materials; these scissors are not designed for heavy-duty cutting.

Handles feel uncomfortable or cause strain.

Ensure you are holding the scissors correctly to utilize the ergonomic design. For very large hands, a larger scissor model might be more suitable. These 16cm scissors are designed for a precise grip.

Rust spots appear on the blades.

While made of quality steel, prolonged exposure to moisture without drying can cause spots. Clean the spots gently with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner (like baking soda paste), then dry thoroughly. Ensure they are fully dried after washing, especially if hand-washed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable and secure grip due to ergonomic handles.
  • Durable stainless steel blades maintain sharpness for extended use.
  • Precision cutting capability, even at the blade tips.
  • Dishwasher safe for easy and quick cleaning.
  • Made with a focus on sustainability, using plastic-free packaging.
  • Hand-tested for guaranteed quality.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for lighter materials; may struggle with thick or tough fabrics.
  • The 16cm size might be too small for larger cutting tasks.
  • While durable, prolonged heavy use could eventually impact blade alignment.
  • Orange color may not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These scissors require no setup. They are ready to use straight out of their plastic-free packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for general use, these scissors are compatible with common household materials such as paper, cardstock, fabric (light to medium weight), thread, and thin plastic packaging. They are not recommended for cutting heavy-duty materials like metal, thick plastic, or very dense fabrics.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For best results and hygiene, these scissors are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm water and mild soap is also effective and can help prolong the life of the blades.
  • Drying: After washing, especially if hand washing, dry the blades thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or potential rusting, although the quality steel is resistant.
  • Sharpening: To maintain optimal cutting performance, use the Fiskars scissor sharpener when you notice a decrease in cutting efficiency. This is a simple process that can restore the blades' sharpness.
  • Storage: Store the scissors in a dry place, preferably in a protective sheath or a drawer to keep the blades safe and sharp.
