FAQs

Are these scissors truly 'everyday' tools?

Yes, the 'Mainichi' name means everyday. They are designed for frequent use with their versatile functions and durable construction.

How do I separate the blades for cleaning?

The blades are designed to pivot apart easily. Typically, you open the scissors wide and gently pull the blades away from each other at the pivot point. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance.

Can I use these for tasks other than food preparation?

While designed for kitchen tasks, they can be used for general household cutting like opening packages or trimming string. However, they are not intended for heavy-duty cutting or materials like metal or thick plastic.

What is the warranty period for these scissors?

Specific warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for warranty details.

Why do I need to provide photo ID?

Due to legal restrictions on the sale of bladed items, proof of age (18+) is required by law to confirm you are legally permitted to purchase this product.

How do the integrated tools work?

The bottle opener functions like a standard bar blade, hooking under the cap. The nutcracker has ridged surfaces to grip and apply pressure to crack shells. The lid opener is designed to provide leverage for prying off jar lids.

What are the dimensions of the scissors?

The overall dimensions are 216 x 90 x 10mm, with the blades measuring 65mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Scissors are stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure the blades are properly separated and reassembled. Check for any food debris or residue between the blades and clean thoroughly. If the issue persists, hand wash and dry, then try a small drop of food-grade lubricant on the pivot point.

Blades are not cutting cleanly.

Verify that the blades are fully seated against each other. Ensure there are no obstructions. Clean the blades as per the care instructions. For persistent dullness, professional sharpening may be considered, though typically not needed with regular use and care.

Integrated tools are not functioning correctly (e.g., bottle opener slipping).

Ensure you are using the tools for their intended purpose. For the bottle opener, hook it firmly under the cap. Clean the tools after use to maintain their effectiveness.

Rust spots appear on the blades.

Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to salt or acidic foods without immediate cleaning can cause minor discoloration. Gently scrub the spots with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner (like baking soda paste) and rinse thoroughly. Ensure they are dried immediately after washing.
