This review is from: Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors (Kitchen)

I am an Art teacher that has been using Fiskars student scissors for 10+ years. When I received my latest order of scissors, they were of this new type with the "larger" handles (exactly like these, but without the "softgrip"). Because of the new way that the blades are seated into the handles, they are prone to become loose and wobbly, eventually rendering them impossible to cut with. This is at the plastic connection point, not the pivot screw, so they cannot be re-tightened. I have 10 year old pairs of the other style that cut better than these new ones. Furthermore, the new, "larger" handles actually have smaller finger openings-- so they are uncomfortable for larger-handed students to use or for adults to demonstrate with.

I have a pair that I used for years. I have them on a cheap chain I can place around my neck so I do not lose them. I have had more expensive 'needlework' scissors that I often misplace. I work on needlework when I can and these do what I expect them to do. They have blunt tips, so if you need to 'un-stitch' something, you have to use something else. They have not caused any notice from security as they are blunt.

We bought these for our kids and love them. They are the perfect size. They are comfortable to use. They are safe. And even though they are safe, they still actually cut paper!
