1Center Pivot Point Breaks With Moderate StressMay 19, 2009
By Joanna Bell
I purchased this because I thought it would be sharp and durable. I was cutting the stems of roses, one at a time, when the two parts of the scissors fell apart. I would have thought the blade and pivot points, that obviously get the most wear and tear, would be titanium. Nope, the pivot point has a plastic nut which gave way. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link which, in this case, is plastic. The manufacturers should not claim this item to be titanium if one of its major wear and torque points is plastic. I was pleased with the sharpness of the blade portion but gave it a 1 star as I did not like being mislead into believing this was a titanium scissor.

1Don't be deceived by the hype....these do not last very long!May 21, 2010
By Laura
Okay, I'll admit it, I believed the hype...the key words like TITANIUM and Lifetime Warranty had me convinced that these were durable scissors that would at the very least be long lasting. When first using them they are very impressive, very sharp, fit well in the hand, and do seem like a good quality. Keep in mind that up until I purchased these I had used nothing but basic, cheap scissors, but I will add that NONE OF THESE BASIC, CHEAP SCISSORS EVER BROKE! Yes, they may have been annoying to use, not very good at cutting anything but thin paper, and at Christmas time not able to do the neat trick of starting at the bottom of the wrapping paper and simply moving the scissors up and "slicing" instead of cutting to the top.

I was so initially impressed with these "Titanium" bonded scissors that I bought a second one for my home office. Everything went well for about a year on one pair and two years on the other. All I have used them for is basic household stuff, the heaviest thing I have cut through is cardboard on the end of a box a few times....cut well, not a problem.

Well, the first pair actually broke right at the plastic handle. I thought that was odd but not a big deal since I could still use them. Then the other, newer one broke in the same exact spot! Again, did not affect the actual cutting function since the break was on the outside part and not against the inside of your thumb which would have been an issue had the crack gone through. When the second one broke I then began losing confidence in the quality of these.

THEN the other day my husband came over to me with a rather surprised look on this face and showed the two BROKEN APART pieces of the scissors he had just used to cut a little thin strip of plastic off of a container!! You can see inside of where the two pieces are connected that they simply use a plastic housing to hold the piece together (on the end of where the screw goes in).

Like I said previously, I have never had scissors break like this; I still have cheap scissors (old faithfuls I now call them) that I've been using for over 10 years!!

I have provided pictures....hope that helps in your buying decision!

5Very happy!Dec 14, 2008
By K. Kondo
It is hard to know what you are going to get online. Honestly, though, with the packaging the way it is now-a-days you really don't get much better access to hands-on in the store. Anyway, I'm really, really pleased with this 2-pack of scissors. They might be the sharpest pairs(s) I've ever held in my hands. The hinge action is ultra-smooth, they are unnaturally light and just have the overall feel of something exceptional. They feel like they might last forever.

3Don't Believe the HypeFeb 14, 2012
By Kitten Kisser
If there is one thing we never seem to have enough of, it is good pairs of scissors. About 6 months ago I received Scotch brand titanium non-stick scissors to review & I have loved them from the first snip! Needless to say, I had the same expectations for these scissors.

In a normal day, I need to use scissors for a multitude of reasons. From simply cutting paper to sometimes trimming poultry wings (this is harmless it's like a hair cut). The Westcott brand was put up to a normal weeks use (sans wing trimming) & unfortunately these don't stand up to all the hype.

The first thing I noticed was how poorly they cut. I tried to cut some fabric & gave up with them. Since I knew I had to do a review of these, I pulled out my Scotch brand & they outperformed the Westcotts by leaps & bounds! However, for serious fabric cutting, I recommend Gingher. They are amazing scissors!

So how about cutting some cardboard? Well they didn't do too well at that either. The Scotch brand stole the show yet again.

Non stick for cutting tape? The blades get sticky. The Scotch brand performs better. They get goo on them too, it just takes a tad longer & the blades are easier to clean.

Comfort of use? These are very uncomfortable! Especially when trying to cut things like fabric & cardboard. They hurt! Scotch beat them yet again! I have ridiculously tiny thin hands & my little fingers barely fit in the handles! I cannot imagine them being comfortable if you have normal to large sized hands. Therefore these are only suitable for short periods of use. My hands were very uncomfortable when I used them to trim little tags made from regular paper.

It might seem odd to give these 3 stars meaning "They are Okay" when they are so obviously flawed. However, they are being compared to other quality scissors. Not cheap scissors. They are better than the super cheap scissors regarding the sharpness of the blade & they seem sturdier than the cheap brands.

If you are looking for affordable quality scissors, skip over these & get the Scotch brand. You will be glad you did.

3Great for light useJan 29, 2012
By Shelley Gammon "Geek"
The blades of these scissors are very sharp, but not as sharp as my Scotch Precision scissors. They fit comfortably in the hand but if you try cutting anything beyond a few sheets of paper - anything that requires some extra torque, the handles will fail. There's a weak spot you can feel starting to give way if you try cutting thick cardboard, for example. For paper-only - these babies are nice - but I would not reserve these for paper-only use... and I would not attempt to cut through more than 2 sheets at a time. Sharp on cutting, but they fail when significant torque is required beyond 2 sheets of paper.
