Fiskars Premier No. 5 Micro-Tip Easy Action Titanium Scissors - Stainless Steel Fabric and Mixed Media Scissors - Arts and Crafts - Orange

Excellent value for money.

Oh my. I didn’t realize what I was missing. These are a dream for quilting. Highly recommend

Buy 2 pairs... They are great for many uses and hold up well

I’m a lefty and thoroughly enjoy using these scissors! They are so much easier to use than trying to use right handed “normal” scissors. I’ve been using them for many, many years and have multiple pairs at home and work. I’ve shared them with other lefties as well.

Fiskars 10 Inch Amplify Mixed Media Shears, 10-Inch, White, Model:171020-1001This is the second "Fiskars 10 Inch Amplify Shears" that I've purchased.The first was for me, this second is a gift.I've had mine for several years now and I'm 100% delighted with them.Fiskars is a TOP brand for cutting tools.Scissors, pruners, tree trimming poles, axes, tree saws...they make so many things for cutting.I own all of the above except the axe, I don't have a Fiskars axe. (yet)I have more than 30 pairs of scissors from tiny 3 inch long tatting scissors to 14 inch long tailor sheers.These Fiskars 10 Inch Amplify Scissors are my #1 favorite.I also bought the 6 inch version, they're great also, but these 10 inch Amplify Scissors are the best.These 10 inch Fiskars Scissors are a great size for sewing.They only sound like they would be too large.For cuts in cloth for sewing, these are: very sharp, very accurate, EASY to use, sure, and powerful.These engender or induce a sense of confidence making any cut, but especially difficult cuts.Great for sewing, but also for: upholstery, crafting, shop, etc.The size fits smaller hands very well, but also easily fits large hands.These are very high quality! No exaggeration!In your hand you'll know the difference immediately, especially compared to most "bargain" scissors.These are sharp, sturdy, reliable, accurate, smooth, scissors.These cut with ease through: cloth, leather, canvas, webbing, sheet plastic, etc.Don't use these to cut metal or rubber, don't be silly! Metal & rubber ruin scissors, really!"Secure Packaging"These cut through that heavy plastic "Secure Packaging" some products come in...easily!These just cut right through...they're so powerful!"Secure Packaging" will no longer be a hassle!"Very High Quality" in workmanship and materials.I highly recommend.

This design has been around for a while, works well, very good blades, easy to use with the full handgrip, gets intopositions where conventional ones will not. Light duty so don't get carried away using both hands as we all do oryou have to tighten the screw more than you would think, as it's a sheet metal screw in the plastic. A thread insert witha machine screw with a proper lock nut would give it 5 stars.

I wanted a comfortable pair of scissors to use to cut fabric with as my other fabric scissors hurt my hands when I have a lot to cut. I like how the Fiskars feel in my hands when I cut fabric. For most things these work well cutting, however it's a bit trickier to cut around curved pieces accurately, so I will switch to a different pair of scissors for cutting the curves when I need to cut more precisely. I have small hands and other scissors just do not have a comfortable thumb hole, which causes pressure on my thumb and can even create blisters too! I don't understand why more scissor companies that have great cutting blades do not make a comfortable scissors to use? I have Kai, Havel, Gingher, Mundial, Belding Corticelli and others and none of them are comfortable to use for more than a couple of minutes at a time. In fact, the scissors I can use the longest for most precise cutting are Kai's Paper Scissors (I use them for fabric cutting too) because they cut well and have wide hand openings on both sides. Why more companies cannot make wide hand/thumb openings for scissors cutting is baffling to me. Like I said I have small hands, so I cannot even imagine someone with large thick hands being able to use most scissors out there. These Fiskars would also work well for larger hands.

To me, these areb better than scissors. I have arthritis in both my hands, and this was so much easier to use!
