Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
No, these scissors are specifically designed for right-handed users.

The blade length is 10.7 cm (4.2 inches), and the overall length is 255 mm (10 inches).
What is the weight of the scissors?

How should I clean and maintain the scissors?
Wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after use. For tougher residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry environment.
What type of handle do these scissors have?
They feature an ergonomic, anti-slip, bi-material handle for comfort and a secure grip, with an offset geometry for better handling.
Can these scissors cut metal wire?
They are specified for thin aluminum foil (up to 0.2 mm). They are not designed for cutting thicker metal wire.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure the pivot area is clean and free of debris. A small drop of lubricant (like WD-40 or silicone oil) applied to the pivot point may help, followed by working the blades open and closed. Wipe away any excess lubricant.
Cutting edges are not clean or are tearing material
Check if the material being cut exceeds the specified thickness limits. Ensure the blades are clean and free from any stuck-on residue. If the blades are dull, professional sharpening may be required.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use
Confirm that you are using the scissors with your dominant right hand, as they are designed for right-handed orientation. Ensure your grip is firm but not overly tight to allow the ergonomic design to function effectively.
