A Tale of Two Scissors
By W. B. Halper
I recently purchased two pair of titanium coated scissors from Amazon. One pair is the Scotch Non-Stick 8-inch scissors listed here; the other is the Officemate 8-Inch Titanium Scissors with Soft Grip Handle, Gold Color Blades with Silver/Blue Handle (94120), which costs several dollars less. I was curious whether the extra cost translated into any tangible benefits. The short answer is yes, but I'm not sure how much you'd see in normal use.

Both scissors came extremely sharp. The Officemate has definitely a lower level of finish, with roughness from machining clearly evident on the inside surfaces of the blades (the ones that face each other). The quality of finish on these surfaces affects the cutting edge and thus how the blades slide shut against each other. A smoother surface translates to a smoother cutting edge and closing action. Even when brand new, the Officemate scissors had a bit of roughness as the blades cut through paper. The Scotch sciss ors were absolutely smooth as they closed together. Both scissors, though, cut through paper cleanly and with minimal force. The inside surfaces of the Scotch scissors feel like they're coated with a clear non-stick layer...similar to non-stick cookware. I assume that it's this layer that leads to the non-stick claim.

Both scissors have screws at their pivot point to adjust the tension between the blades. The Officemate uses a standard phillips head screw; the Scotch uses a more expensive-looking machined slotted screw. Both work fine to adjust any play between the blades...the difference is appearance, not function.

The blades on both are exactly 8" long from pivot to tip. The handle side on the Scotch is about 1/2"+ longer, which provides more room for your fingers. The tips of the Scotch blades are rounded. The Officemate's tips are sharp, but thick; they aren't finely pointed like you'd find in precision scissors.

All in all, both scissors work just fine, but I'm giving five stars to the Scotch and only three to the Officemate. The Scotch scissors are better built and I like that in my tools.

Will Cut Without Getting Stuck
By Jen
You usually don't realize how bad your current scissors are until you finally get a good pair, but in this case, I never knew there were scissors this wonderful! At my job we do not have a laminator, so when we need something "laminated" we usually cover it with a layer of the wide, clear sealing tape and then trim off the excess. Even when doing something as small as a 3x5 card we always get a sticky buildup on our scissors. The same for when we make our gift baskets in large quantities around the holidays and need to trim excess tape from underneath or behind - that almost always results in sticky scissors that will not cut easily until fully cleaned with Goo Gone. These non-stick scissors are an extremely big help. So far, they have no stickiness anywhere on the blades. I even cut up just a piece of the sealing tape to see how well they would hold up, and still there was no sticky residue. That would have stopped our other scissors, or even my really good scisso rs, rather quickly. These Scotch Non-Stick scissors are also sharp and extremely comfortable. This is something that is a big help in our little shop and I would highly recommend them to anyone who has the same issues we had.

EDIT 10/11/2010: After using these over a longer amount of time I had to lower the rating I originally gave these scissors. It was tough to decide between 3 and 4 stars, but decided on 3 simply because they are advertised as non-stick. While they still cut through heavy tape without getting stuck, they do get a sticky build up after awhile, and it seems now they become sticky with minimal use. I was able to clean the blades and remove the sticky residue with a Clorox wipe, but it's almost as if the non-stick surface isn't as "non-stick" anymore. They still cut nice and do have a very comfortable grip.

Excellent scissors for general household use
By Sanpete
They're sharp, have a comfortable rubberized grip, cut neatly and easily with no tearing, seem solidly constructed, and have a lifetime guarantee (against defects).

To elaborate a bit, they're sharp enough to actually inflict a superficial cut on my thumb (no blood!) from feeling how sharp the blade was, which would be hard to do with most scissors of their type. I guess that's a testimonial of sorts. They cut through cereal box card stock easily and precisely. They're supposed to keep their sharpness longer than most scissors because of their titanium-fused blades, though I can't say whether that's true.

The grip is a good size for my small male hand, three fingers fit comfortably in the bottom handle.

The adjustment screw on these scissors actually works. It's snug but turns easily with a screw driver if you want the blades to be tighter or looser. Mine came well adjusted.

I tried cutting stuff with adhesive on it. There was no problem with tape adhesive sticking to the blade, but adhesive from some packaging material did stick. It came off easily, as advertised.
