FAQs
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
While these are designed as general-purpose scissors, the ergonomic handles are symmetrical, making them usable for most crafters regardless of dominant hand.
Can I use these to cut paper?
It is not recommended. Cutting paper can quickly dull the precision edge, making them less effective for fabric work.
What is the total length of these scissors?
The scissors measure 13.5cm, which is approximately 5.25 inches.
What is the benefit of the titanium coating?
The titanium coating provides an extra layer of hardness to the steel, helping the blades retain their sharpness significantly longer than uncoated steel.
Should I sharpen these if they go dull?
Because of the specialized titanium coating and knife-edge geometry, professional sharpening is recommended to preserve the integrity of the blade.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open
Check the pivot screw for lint or thread debris; clean with a small brush and apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil if necessary.
Blades are not cutting cleanly at the tips
Ensure that the scissors are being used only for appropriate thread and fabric weights; avoid cutting thick materials that may push the blades apart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors arrive ready to use out of the packaging with no assembly required. To maintain peak performance, store the scissors in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup. Wipe the blades clean with a dry, lint-free cloth after use to remove thread debris and fabric dust. Avoid using these scissors to cut paper, plastic, or adhesives, as these materials can dull the titanium-coated edge prematurely. If you notice resistance, verify that the pivot screw is clean and free of thread build-up.
